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.

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

I have never seen a group of A-list actors look and act so disinterested.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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!

I don't understand why this is hated. It's got great action, compelling characters and a good story.
