It has many of the aspect of Braveheart, although it focuses much less on freedom and the rights of the people (though that's the main storyline) and much more on the actual combat. The combat scenes here are great; there's so much decapitation and blood and cleaving people in half. This, for me, balances out any subpar-ness of the plot. It's like when you're playing something like Skyrim--when you've jumped on top of a dragon and are pounding its skull with an enchanted mace, do you really care why you're doing it?… Expand

A great action movie. Some of the most brutal medieval swordplay I've ever seen on screen. Sure, it's probably not too historically accurate, but this ain't a goddamn textbook, it's just a summer thrill ride. A nice break from all the superA great action movie. Some of the most brutal medieval swordplay I've ever seen on screen. Sure, it's probably not too historically accurate, but this ain't a goddamn textbook, it's just a summer thrill ride. A nice break from all the super hero movies, I might add. Good acting, good script, great action. What more do you want?… Expand

Ahh what better than a good hack and slash to finish off the end of the week. While the basic story may not be totally accurate, the actual siege mechanics and reality of fighting at that time were pretty spot on I thought, with a little bitAhh what better than a good hack and slash to finish off the end of the week.

There is much more to be taken from this movie than people think. Not only that, but Paul's performance as King John captured the energy of a king perfectly.

Not only that, but Paul's performance as King John captured the energy of a king perfectly. Movies aren't all about images, they are about feelings and moods, and conveying those to the viewers. To say this is just another action movie is a complete fallacy.

Not only is it great fun to watch, it is down right terrifying at times. That danish commander is a scary man, and you even get to see life from his point of view at one point, if even just for a second. There is much to learn from the templar.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great action movie, based in a real events, maybe is not with top actors of the media, but great actors, great action, we learn some history at least this movie makes sense, lately I have been disappointed with movies like the last Hunger Games, waist of money to watch, just makes no sense in the end. This movie have sense at least, well done.… Expand

Real history does not generally run smoothly nor is it engaging enough to fit conveniently into a 2 hour movie, so I refuse to nick-pick a screen writer for adding a little poetic license into a script or for the costume designer who doesn't have the time or resources to get the actors "just right".

With this in mind, I found the story enjoyable and it ran more or less historically and at a good pace, I was certainly never given enough pause to consider boredom. The fight scenes were very good and I agree with other criticisms on the reviews about the shaking camera making it extremely hard to concentrate on what was happening.

Certainly worth watching 7/10 rating… Expand

If only Kate Mara went missing on this one and her **** romantic plot this could have been a 70/100 and not a 69.
