What to Know

Critics Consensus

Assassin's Creed is arguably better made (and certainly better cast) than most video game adaptations; unfortunately, the CGI-fueled end result still is still a joylessly overplotted slog.

Elena Lazic Little White Lies Although this story of multiple timelines provides some interesting moments, the cryptic, excessive, often extremely muffled dialogue makes the film excruciatingly hard to follow. Rated: 2/5 Jul 3, 2018 Full Review Valerie Complex Black Girl Nerds I have never seen a group of A-list actors look and act so disinterested. Rated: 1.5/5 Jan 19, 2017 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times One is left wracking brains as to why these talented people wasted so much time. It's not even the best videogame adaptation released in the past 12 months. Come back, Angry Birds. All is forgiven. Rated: 2/5 Jan 10, 2017 Full Review Zach Pope Zach Pope Reviews The worst way to adapt a video game Aug 7, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies I had fun with “Assassin’s Creed” particularly with its wildly unique (and admittedly wacky) story. It also doesn’t hurt to have this level of acting talent in front of the camera. Rated: 3/5 Aug 19, 2022 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Kurzel's brooding, internalized work often appears through a literal or figurative haze, which doesn't help matters. Rated: 1.5/4 Apr 5, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Jade Coyote good acting good action weak writing and story telling Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/07/22 Full Review Shogo I Does not follow the source material well at all. It was difficult to understand what was going on, and the acting was mediocre at best. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/13/25 Full Review Nathan D I loved this AC movie, the action sequences are top notch it should of been more involved about the past instead of the modern day like the games why I think it failed at the reviews still don’t think it’s nowhere as bad as the ratings is, I always wonder what the sequel would of been. as true fan this movie definitely deserves more praise guess casual viewers just don’t get it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/08/25 Full Review Ryan H One of the better video game-to-film adaptations. Too bad they decided to focus on the weakest parts of the games themselves. More time was needed during the Spanish Inquisition Animus sequences. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/06/25 Full Review Cade H. Good: The concept of making an Assassins Creed movie Bad: The movie they released Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/28/25 Full Review Poli P He falls into the collective sin that if he doesn't like me, neither do I. It's good, a real action blockbuster, and you don't need to know anything about the game. CALM DOWN, FREAKS! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/24/25 Full Review Read all reviews
