PG-13 good or bad

The games that this is based off of are brutal but not super graphic stories about people engrossed in a ancient and everlasting war between two factions that both go around killing people they feel need to die for "the greater good". Between that and how well Deadpool did I'm not really concerned that they might have toned it down to 'score' a lower rating, you can get away with a lot of not excessively graphic violence in live action flicks these days.

And while the games are rated "M", ESRB ratings are more unreliable then the MPAA. I've played games that had ratings of "T" and "M" that have been nearly identical content wise but nonetheless found themselves with very different age recommendations.

Even if you manage to play the games in a 'PG rated fashion' (no such thing)...

I'd rather have it be R, but at the same time none of the Assassin's Creed game were extraordinarily violent from what I remembered despite being rated M. It could work as a PG-13, but like I said I'd still prefer an R rating.

I think it's fine.
Nothing in the games seems really graphic enough for it to go R. I suppose we won't really have much bloodspatter but I don't think it's really needed.
I expected it and so far the only sign that really isn't in favor of this movie is the fact that it's based on a videogame. But the central concept from the game is interesting enough, and I think they made a smart move by not sticking to any of the narratives from the games but creating a new one. Aside from giving them the freedom to actually create a story that's fitting for a movie and actually what's interesting they can expand on the whole narrative which actually might be more interesting for the people that already are fans and at the same time create a fresh story for the people that aren't familiar with the series.
