Predicting The Rotten Tomatoes Scores For 2016's Biggest Remaining Movies
18. Assassin's Creed (49%)
Critical Consensus: "Michael Fassbender and director Justin Kurzel deliver an intense, visually stunning adaptation of the iconic video game, but are let down by an only intermittently engaging script."
Will the Assassin's Creed movie end up as the best-reviewed video game movie of all time? Yes, but not by a lot. As much as we all want to believe that it will break the video game film curse and be the first one to break the coveted 60% "Fresh" barrier on Rotten Tomatoes...history dictates that it's probably not happening.
Even with so many talented people involved, the film will probably have to settle for mixed reviews, scoring around 5% more with critics than the previous record holder, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (44%).
One would love to be so, so wrong about this, especially as the trailers look rock-solid so far (as has admittedly been said about so many eventually-bad movies).
