18% critic 77% audience - so is it good?
Why such a divide between critics and audience? Is it good or not?
shareFake fans will act like cheerleaders and see this no matter how terrible it looks. Those are the nerds lined up opening day who would rate the movie 10/10 just for the costume design.
True fans will know a POS when they see one and realize this isn't the adaptation the game deserves.

I'm a huge fan of the Assassin's Creed series. I thought that it was only ok. It was cool that it was faithful and I knew what was going on, but there were definitely a lot of problems with it they should fix. The one thing that I liked was the fact that it was connected to the universe but not a direct adaptation as a whole. So they didn't screw up Desmond and Altier and Ezio. Its a different story, so that was the best thing about it. But hopefully if they do get a sequel they work better on it.

True fans will either like the film or dislike it. Regardless of how they feel about it they can still remain 'true' fans. You're trying to push your OWN opinion onto others.

"Everybody creates what they fear most."
Yeah, I'm a "true fan". Ever since 2007, played MOST of the games (on the PC).
[..] a divide between critics and audience?
This is, actually, great! For (many) years and years, the so-called "film critics" have been spewing their bull. Thankfully (!) because of web sites, such as Rotten Tomatoes, we are finally able to find that true review in a sea of nothing.
Everyone has an opinion, right, except not many can articulate... Someone will say and write something "smart" and then people jump on the bandwagon, trying to imitate what they think will be the popular opinion and such; well, no more!! :))
Some people have to be told what to think, others can enjoy the world!! ;D:D

I've held the exact opposite opinion regarding Rotten Tomatoes. That has to be the worst "review" site in existence. The reviewers are the hipsters of the movie reviewing world, giving high praise to anything even remotely pretentious and/or mind-numbingly bad, but panning any film that actually achieves what the creators set out to do and giving the audience a feeling of satisfaction. Name your pick; if a movie caused you to walk out of the theater afterwards with a grin on your face and a desire to tell your friends about how good and fun it was, sure enough, it'll get a very low score on the Pretenti-O-meter.
To be fair, there are exceptions occasionally, but honestly, I think they're rare. For every nine or ten films I had a great time watching, maybe one got a decent RT score, and the rest were ripped to shreds.

No. RT does not review films. The critics they source have a wide range of ages and backgrounds. Assassin's Creed has CLEARLY failed to hit its target and most of the audience are dissatisfied with it.
And yet, 48,646 RT members have given Assassin's Creed an Audience Score of 61%., which is an average score of 3.5 our of 5 Stars. That doesn't quite translate into the kiss of death film you and others here have claimed.

61% is a lack luster audience score. And the film will drop further. The audience does not like the film, if they did it would be having better holiday aided legs. The film's opening day was higher than Passengers and now it is running 25mil behind that film. The word of mouth isn't even decent.

What a laughable excuse for *beep* movies receiving bad reviews.
Raging Bull = Best movie share
Assassin's Creed did not please most people, be they critic or regular joe. If Assassin's Creed was even moderately well reviewed by Regular People, the movie would be making more money. Now I think the bad reviews would hurt it to a certain degree but there's no reason the movie couldn't have gotten to say hundred million in North America even with bad reviews. Tarzan had bad reviews and made 125 million because people liked it more than than the critics did.
shareso anybody who disagree with you are the fake fans, eh ?
been a huge fan since the first game came out almost a decade ago, I think this movie is okay
not a great movie I admit, because it'll take more than 1 and a half hour to introduce assassin's creed universe to non-gamer audience, this movie is more like a set up to bigger plot.
I say the true fans will appreciate the movie for staying true to the game and even bring some of video game's elements, not just milking assassin's creed big name
Sorry but the people that rate a movie highly within the first few days... they are rating it before going to see it and much of the time forget to change their rating. Its always like this, and you also get cast and crew giving it 10s & some fake accounts too because you know... hollywood is into psyops.
