At least no one is using rapid-fire catapults with flaming missiles that explode. Count yer lucky stars.

Mud, floppy cheap leather vests and the gray "historical" fillter.

I dont mid odd an totaly a histoical costumeing but just bit the bullet an use a fantasy setting.
That way you can have a sequal or three, and we dont all know the plot.

Right...
I've removed all the politics shit.
Please don't come here and do that again. Take your strong opinions and plaster them somewhere more appropriate - like most of the rest of the internet.

Ugh..
This thing has basically every single bad "Medieval" movie trope.

Game of Tiddlywinks?

[Mammoth miniatures]

The bots I've seen look like someone wanted to cash in on the popularity of game of thrones 10 years ago, but the project was shelved and has now been pulled out to fill a scheduling gap. Even to my very indifferent eye the costumes look wrong and cheap.

I know technicolour is a technical impossibility these days, but I really wish someone would break the mould and make a proper brightly coloured historical epic , so at the very least you don't feel like you're watching a bunch of indistinct grey and brown shapes making angry love through a fierce fog cloud.

As predicted,total bollocks

[Fytzer]

I for one thoroughly enjoyed the shot in the opening battle scene when a man wearing a full mail hauberk and leather on top has a spear put straight through his leather, mail and ribcage, and then out the other side!

Really sets the tone!

I trust that one went back to Primark.

An historical fantasy based on a few facts.

An historical fantasy based on a few facts.

A very few facts - they could have used more but went for 'feelz' not facts. I've not seen it and the reviews I've seen make me damn glad I haven't - 'this too shall pass' very much like a big load of manure!

So what I am hearing is you guys liked it and hope for a sequel?

1067: The Heptarchy Strikes Back

[Wilgut Spleens]

It is reassuring that the telly watching public and the critics don't like it anymore than us gamers...
