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.
In 13th-century England, a Knights Templar and few of the Barons men, fight to defend Rochester Castle against the tyrannical King John.
Ironclad is set in 1215, mere months after King John is forced to sign the Magna Carta. With the help of a hired army of Danish mercenaries, King John plunders the southern coast of England on his way north. So far, we're still in the realm of history…<br/><br/>King John has an abbot killed, since the Church was source of the Magna Carta. And the bloodshed begins… Thomas Marshal, our hero and a member of the Knights Templar breaks his vow of silence, chastity, and obedience….this is where the fantasy comes in…<br/><br/>Along side Baron Albany (Brian Cox) Marshal and a rag tag group of brigands, thieves, and mercenaries decide to hold off King John at Rochester, a key fortress on the way north, to London… More bloodshed…<br/><br/>Our group of seven men, along with eleven guards at Rochester, attempt to hold Rochester Castle until the French can come to their aid… Riveting…<br/><br/>All in all the movie is actually very good. The story is loosely based on history, and the outcome is the opposite of what actually happened…but hey…it's a movie made to entertain…and it does.<br/><br/>The fight sequences are bloody, gory, and historically accurate for the fighting styles used back then. One of our crazy seven actually beats a man to death with a severed arm. Though it sounds fantastical, there are historical records claiming that soldiers did just that in the heat of battle, so who are we to argue? I highly recommend this movie to anyone who loves a good medieval story, with lots of action…and lots of entrails.
…And here's what I mean: The movie is absolutely watchable (if you are a fan of historical action, medieval theme and hack n' slash of course). The Battle scenes are shot perfectly. Costumes are not 100% authentic, but not so fantasy-drivenother "historical" movies tend to create these days, but: In places the movie raises the question: did the director any historical research prior to arm his team with cameras and lights or not at all? How, being English, is possible to not know own history if not in details, than at least to some degree? The case here is not about "artistic freedom", that sometimes demands to sacrifice realism or fact to make an art better. The inaccuracies occur here in places, where there aren't any necessity of them.<br/><br/>The rip-offs from the other movies were obviouswell. I don't know whether the authors really did intend to make "medieval magnificent seven" but if they did, they failed. Each character in Magnificent Seven is someone you deeply care. Someone you deeply know. Someone who you never forget. Each of them is unique.<br/><br/>Here: They are sevenwell. They have one womanizer. They have on guy who throws knifes. They have one unexperienced youngster who asks for the trouble. They have one huge guy who chops wood when the group is approaching him… But that's it. That's where similarities end. Neither of these characters have any charisma.<br/><br/>Out of two main villains, one plays it's part really good, while other has not much to do except swinging the huge Axe.<br/><br/>Templar - the main protagonist of the movie, is played wellwell… but again, his character is clichéwell and notdeepwriters could have imagined. (No fault of the actor here. He worked with what he had).<br/><br/>Plot is simple and somewhat unrealistic. 7 heroes, together with random 11 soldiers are guarding the castle from thousands of bad guys. (One English king and whining Danes who run at the first sight of blood among their ranks.<br/><br/>Bad guys need castle so badly because it's on the strategic spot on the English map and if King who regrets signing Magna Carta wants to rule autocratically once again, he must take it at all costs.<br/><br/>Here you will need all your suspend of disbelief to not raise the questions such as: why the rebels have sent only 7 men with questionable reputation to hold such an important spot…<br/><br/>Overall, like I said in the beginning of this review, the movie is watchable. If you're looking for some good action, blood and gore, you'll get what you paid for. If you're history buff though and easily offended about historical inaccuracies, you can avoid this one.
Like all sieges, this offers moments of choppy terror and excitement followed by dull sit-it-out-and-starve spots. Straddled between uproarious schoolboy tosh and serious historical movie, this still offers enough dismemberments, royal tantrums and portcullis-rammings to make for a lively Saturday night out.
