The Assassin's Creed movie will hit cinemas around the world starting this week. If you're not an avid Assassin's Creed fan, you're probably interested to find out if this is the one that will change our perspective on video game movies forever.

In fact, according to Metacritic, it's one of lowest-scoring video game movies ever, scoring below the 2015 Hitman reboot, and barely above the 2007 one. Shockingly, critics seemed to have liked the Prince of Persia movie quite a bit more.
