Ratings and reviews

Appalling, except of lack of any cultural or educational value, it is an slander on the Catholic church, not Protestant, Anglican or Lutheran. Bad, but blood thirsty, corrupted Catholic church and the good and righteous Assassin's. You got to be kidding me. The Templars and Inquisition were actually protectors of the Christian Europe against Muslims. How true now when we have crisis of believes and the Islam in the frontal attack everywhere.

Great lead actor but failed what was an amazing story line. Another classic example of white washing in Hollywood. I looked forward to see this movie and saw it in the cinema as soon as it came out. Although the movie had okay CGI it still did very little justice to the game and the true nature of the creed. Worst thing was is that had full potential to be the next 'Pirates of the Caribbean' franchise. I hope we see a reboot where this is done better. Preferably with an actor that performs more of his own stunts.

Rubbish! Some great actors, but unfortunately it's not enough. The plot, while OKish for a video games, is ridiculously dumb and hard to swallow in the movie. This movie does NOT make any sense - it just blunders here and there with neither perceivable goal nor a climax in sight. Fight scenes and choreography (which the games are famous for) are short and far between and frankly not even remotely enough to keep anyone engaged. And dialogue... listening to some of the conversations in the movie was only marginally more pleasant and interesting than pulling teeth without anaesthesia.
