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

This movie was great. The people who say oh it wasn’t a good adaptation they’re whack and they don’t know what they’re talking about and probably know nothing about the video game.

when a third of the budget goes to your lead actor, let's just say don't expect a masterpiece. monotonous acting and 0 character development. i have played the games and they are way more enjoyable and charming than this slop. i love that in this world you can be paid 40 million dollars to produce a performance like this. what a time to be alive
