The Contrarians216 - Pt. 2 - Assassin's Creed (RT)

Michael Fassbender: videogame geek. Who would've thunk it? There is certainly passion and determination to be felt when watching ASSASSIN'S CREED, but is it in service of a movie worth watching? This Real Talk segment finds Alex, Julio, Nerdbomber, and Techtic trying to crack the code to a successful video game adaptation!

Would you give Fassbender and his team another chance if they gave the property another shot? Are the end credits in the game longer than the end credits in the movie?
