Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

ThiefHott Too much of everything

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

blackmagpie-62368 A decent movie, good solid cast and acting, OK action, a nice cliche hero, a classic story, worth watching. For me they ruined it all by making it a romance.

TeresaCarledo This film is typical example of what is wrong in modern cinema. If it had been made in 1950's, it would have been impressive, gorgeously photographed Technicolor spectacle with clean clothes and dialogue, no gore and zero realism. Made in 2011, Ironclad looks drab and boring, with gore, dirt and foul language, because Realism, but historical accuracy is STILL thrown out of the window, because that's too much realism. In one scene main villain orders the herd of pigs burned alive - it didn't actually happen but THIS IS MACHO FLICK FOR MANLY MEN, DAMMIT! Add clichéd script and miscast Kate Mara as medieval female warrior a'la Jeanne D 'Arc, and the result, shall we say, is not overtly impressive.

Mischief810 This is definitely not a chick flick. If Braveheart and 300 are some of your favorite flicks, you'll be adding Ironclad to your list. Look, neither Braveheart nor 300 were completely accurate. Sometimes, the screenwriter needs a little leeway, and this film does just that. We watch, we enjoy, we forgive.However, the script is well written. The film is well directed and extraordinarily well acted.You really do get the sense of the squalid, brutal conditions humans endured in medieval times. You also get a solid sense of mankind's ability for atrocity during the "dark ages."What you also get is a series of very gory battle action scenes, a despicable villain, the tale of a man torn by his calling, and a little bit of a love story thrown in to boot. What's not to like, here?Find time to watch this one. You won't be disappointed.

kosmasp The actors alone bring so much gravitas to the movie, that it's not unfair to say that they elevate it completely. But the story also works, plus there is a lot of action and blood to be shed. If you like period settings, you will have quite a lot to watch here. And a lot to like obviously too.The movie is really good, but a sort of sequel kinda almost put it down. Don't watch the other movie before or after. If you must I guess after, but you won't like it. This here has a good script and good effects, with a few nice twists along the way (mostly predictable of course), that will keep you entertained.
