a5c7b9f00b 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. Barring his way stood the mighty Rochester castle, a place that would become the symbol of the rebel's momentous struggle for justice and freedom.
King John Lackland reneges in 1215, the year the barons force him to sign to Magna Carta, on its parliamentary terms to resume his tyrannical misrule, and raised an army of pagan mercenaries to smash those barons who dare resist again. William d'Aubigny's warrior band, including knight Templar Thomas Marshal and his squire Guy, decides to make a stand in Rochester, a strategic castle to bar the road to London, so they force its lord, baron Reginald de Cornhill, to side with them after eliminating the Danish watchdogs. Captain Tiberius's mercenary band fails for months to make their numeric superiority count during a bloody siege, over which John presides personally, eager to take the castle before French and/or domestic rebel reinforcements may arrive. Baron Reginald's wife Isabel regrets their arranged marriage, enough to nearly-openly lust for handsome crusade veteran Thomas, who however takes his order vows seriously.
I rented this on itunes 2 weeks before the release date of the Bluray for $9.99 and that was the best spent $10 of my life. the action is right in your face, the acting is top-notch,but it could have been more story exspecialy the back story of Marshall played wonderfully by (James Purefoy) who should be ranked in the same bad-ass catagorie(Russell Crowe's Maximus in Gladiator and Gerard Butler's King Leonidas in 300)but unlike those other big budget movies who had big named film studios financing them Ironclade had a very modest budget but directer Jonathan English pushed every dollar to make thisepic and authenticpossible and he did so.For fans of epic middle age warfare movies like (Gladiator,Breavheart,300,troy,kingdom of heaven,Spartacus,and , robin hood)this is the film for you their is plenty of sword fighting and more important blood and guts spraying all over the screen which is sorta uncommon to todays theatrical releases witch is made for a (PG-13) crowd like (2010's Robin hood)witch got a more violent unrated release on bluray,but Ironclade is no (PG-13) film this is a graphic,bloody,brutal, movie and it deserves the hard (R) rating in every way,so i give a 9 out of 10
Watching the trailer of "Ironclad" made me curious. I'm a big fan of swords play and medieval stuff, so this one should be right up my alley. There was however one thing I didn't like from the start: it revolves around a Templar. But let me first start off with the good parts. <br/><br/>The action scenes are nicely done. It is bloody, messy and brutal, but it is never to much. They are shot in such a way that it looks very authentic and really adds to the entire atmosphere of the movie. The blood never flows massively ("300" fans will be disappointed) and the wounds never stay on screen for more then a flash. It's just enough to show that gore definitely is a part of all it, but that it doesn't revolve only that. I found myself comparing it with combat scenes from movies"Blackhawk down", but then set in medieval England. The makers probably wanted to getclosereality was back then instead of another fantasy sword clash, and they did that quite nicely. <br/><br/>Steady cast, which resolves in good acting. Paul Giamatti's personification of "Sir John" stands out by far however. He's a lunatic! In a positive way. James Purefoy does a decent job delivering the main character, but it's nothing special to write to home about. <br/><br/>Being a medieval-swordplay-LARP-kinda guy, I find the clothing in a "sword movie" to be very important. No problem here. "Ironclad" does a hell of a lot better then fellow templar movie "Season of the witch" in which the clothing was simply awful. Another plus.<br/><br/>So you would say I have been enjoying this one. A bit I guess. But something kept nagging me. <br/><br/>**Note: this parts more personal*<br/><br/>My biggest problem,said before, is that we again have a Templara good guy. Why? Why are Templars always on the good side? We all now of the horrible stuff they did, it's even mentioned in the movies because it is always "such a burden to them". Can someone please take a different history class then all the other film makers, and write about a clash between templars slaughtering to some land, trying to christianize it and the native's fighting for their lives? And why are Danish/Scandinavian warriors always portrayedbarbaric warriors who flee at the first sight of a possibility of loss? It's hurtful really, it's a cliché that has been done over and over. And I still don't understand why "the Danish leader" at "some point" didn't rip off "his employers" head. But then again, this is a personal thing. <br/><br/>On to the negative things that count morefacts of some sorts: <br/><br/>Although the fighting overall has a realistic feel, there definitely are flaws. Biggest one is that a practically unexperienced squire is able to stand up against veteran fighters after swinging at a wooden pole and one speech. Sorry, not buying it. <br/><br/>I now fully understand why Napoleon failed to conquer England! Every guy there is like superman, killing 50 men before even getting a scratch! People please, portraying someonea good fighter is one thing, but do NOT overdo it. I would like to go in to details but then I would have to spoil stuff, which I will not. <br/><br/>I.m.o Marshall turns to herioc at a certain point. He's looking like a sword swinging Rambothe story furthers. <br/><br/>And YES, Of course, in a time where man and women are equal, the movie makers have to put in a fighting lady, that has NEVER held a sword before, in the midst of the melee. I've seen enough of these lady's. Either make them badass, full blown warriors (like Olga Kurylenko's "Etain" in "Centurion") and let them be played by a woman who can actually deliver such a character, or leave them a princess and stay of the battlefield. Kate Mara is the second, tries to be the first, and fails. <br/><br/>Story is decent. I personally would like to know more about the connection between the men that follow the "Baron Albany" without doubt. I think the makers used most of the story so they could make a medieval battle movie. <br/><br/>Last but not least, I GOT to know what kind of miracle lotion or salve the squire uses to keep his everlasting, shiny, clean-shaved chin in a time span of over almost half a year in which the movie takes place.<br/><br/>Well, that's the load of it, to sum it up:<br/><br/>Very good battle scenes. Decent to good acting, Kate Mara being the low side, Paul Giamatti being way awesome. Not an overdue of blood and gore, just enough to keep it realistic and authentic Overpowered Templars and English on one side. Cliché barbaric Danish/Scandinavian warriors on the other. Authentic and realistic vibe of it all. Beautiful worked out clothing and battles really aid in this.
This bloody, messy action film devolves into a plain ol' bloody mess.
