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.

2/5

Although this story of multiple timelines provides some interesting moments, the cryptic, excessive, often extremely muffled dialogue makes the film excruciatingly hard to follow.

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.

3/5

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.

1.5/4

Kurzel's brooding, internalized work often appears through a literal or figurative haze, which doesn't help matters.

I was a fan of the original game so I’m bias. Movie was dope. Lots of scenes that throw back to the game. Fassbender crushed it.

I really did enjoy the Assassins Creed adaptation here until about the last 20 minutes. It seriously fell off the rails. I'm really gutted that this film was both a critical and box office failure because I'm a huge fan of the Assassins Creed games. This could have been a opportunity for a Black Flag or Syndicate film adaption. Certain scenes in this seriously give me goosebumps, while it doesn't do direct fan service it has the same tone and aesthetic in the past scenes. I just wish we had a lot more historical scenes. This film is absolutely stunning, honestly most scenes are just georgous. Kurzel always has some picturesque scenery and this and his previous Macbeth (2015) prove my point. Fassbender is the only dominant actor here, the rest not huge on. I really couldn't take the other assassins in the finale seriously, they looked hideous. Due to the current state of the Assassins Creed franchise, I doubt we'll get chance of another film.a damn shame.

I honestly don't get the hate for this movie. I thought it was well done as an adaptation of an Assassin’s Creed game. I don't know if it's because many don't know of the Assassin’s Creed video game franchise or if gamers are the ones being too nitpicky. For me, this was on point and well done. Casting was good as well as plot, scene, and costumes. It deserves way better than the low reviews it has.
