Outlaw King (2018)
Can't Watch This
Normally a review comes after a movie, but my review of this movie is just that I can't watch it. From what I have seen the sets look good, the world created looks plausible (for the most part) and some of the Braveheart II elements are enjoyable. However I just can't get past the too strong female character pushing through scene after scene, it's just too much. Three times I have turned this off and twice I tried to go back because I read other reviews that convinced me it was worth it (the singing is good). If you don't mind feminists in your 14th century dramas then you may find this movie quite enjoyable.
Disenchantment (2018)
Weak
Really bad jokes. Plot is mildly interesting. Irritating cliff hangers at the end of seasons. Watch if you enjoy being disappointed
The Highwaymen (2019)
Poor
Stopped watching after a 1930s car lost another car because it made a bit of dust. This movie is packed full of cliches that have been done to death. The references to the 1930s depression were ok.
Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)
Terrible
A terrible movie promising all kinds of historical intrigue and politics and war and giving us nothing but tired overworked romantic cliche
The Countess (2009)
Poor
Poor dialog that sounded as though it were written by a child. They want their cake and to eat it, this movie will satisfy neither historians nor Gore fanatics because it delivers neither history nor Gore, just the usual romance and some inappropriate feminism
The Grey (2011)
Good cinematography, terrible antagonists
Even though I really wanted to like this film I couldn't. Some of the atmosphere is great and there are some beautiful shots, especially at the start, but all in all I just can't get past the fact that the wolves are stupid. If the plot was that there remained some prehistoric, game-of-thrones era direwolves (or whatever) surviving in the nordic/canadian (whatever) wastes or something maybe, but we are to believe that these are just your regular, murderous, humongous, wolf-seal-team bent on the annihilation of Neeson and his crew. The sound effects for the wolves are laughably post-production scare mongering and the their behaviour is demonstrably nonsense.
