'Assassin's Creed' Movie Reviews Are Rolling In And It's A Bloodbath

When director Justin Kurzel re-teamed with cinematographer Adam Arkapaw and Oscar-caliber actors Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard for Assassin's Creed after working together on the critically-acclaimed Macbeth, we thought we might have our first great video game movie adaptation at last. Early reviews are now rolling in for the film, which opens tomorrow nationwide, and they aren't pretty. The film currently sits at a 20% at Rotten Tomatoes with only 6 out of 23 reviews being positive. Yes, film reviews can tick up and down, but it's extremely unlikely that a movie starting out this low will ever make its way up to "fresh." And yes, Rotten Tomatoes is often flawed, but it's not usually wildly off the mark.
