Summary:
It is the year 1215 and the rebel barons of England have forced their despised King John to put his royal seal to the Magna Carta, a noble, seminal document that upheld the rights of free-men. Yet within months of pledging himself to the great charter, the King reneged on his word and assembled a mercenary army on the south coast of England with the intention of bringing the barons and the country back under his tyrannical rule.

Looks good.
It looks. . . interesting. It also looks like it’s going to be one of those “action” films with lots of battles and fighting(yeah, I know, I know, lots of people enjoy these). I can’t tell from the trailer how accurate it might be, historically or otherwise. And it might just. . . not make it very far. Or OTOH. . . Well, you just never know.

For some reason, my gut tells me it won’t do very well.
stevent:
My gut is telling me exactly the same thing. But I was trying to be polite.

What’s your favorite movie based in the medieval time period?
Steven:
Gosh. I don’t know exactly. Probably the old Ivanhoe(the one with Robert Taylor and Elizabeth Taylor. Not exactly accurate, but lots of fun.
