Favorite medieval films

Only directors cut. It’s historical kino

directors cut explains much more and adds a lot of story

Well, he said medieval films, not necessarily "(pretending to be) historical medieval films".

Director's cut if you like stories that make sense

>It’s historical kino
It’s almost braveheart levels of inaccuracy

I loved the legend of King Arthur. Is this kino?

This was not without it's charms.

There is at best one or two movies that have anything even resembling combining human warfare, cinema and accuracy.

Like the Spanish-funded movie with tercio massacres, or Battle at Waterloo (even then, exploding cannon balls...) by the USSR and Italy.
Historical cinema is about nothing else but deceiving the viewer into thinking what he's looking at isn't as made up as it actually is.

heh heh I watched that a week ago

I miss these

I want a movie based on this battle

Most epic scene. They should've made a prequel and a sequel to KoH
The 1st-2nd crusades and the 5th crusade

It would be Kingdom of Heaven 2 no?

possibly. I really like that sections of the wall were defended by knights based on what language they spoke. Has some potential of a diverse cast

You're more likely to get an anime adaptation of 1632

No it wasn’t. It has bad acting, poorly written characters and plot, historical inaccuracy, and it clearly pushes an agenda.

Yeah I don’t like it because it’s a bad movie

the first 2 films are super comfy.

you're a shithead, half-satan

You’re angry because you know it’s true.

what does Yea Forums think of Outlaw King?
I know it's >Netflix, but the depiction of rituals and the battle of Loudon Hll (minus the retarded "duel") really put it one step above a typical action flick

One of the few good medieval movies. And it’s historically accurate (for the most part)

i'm angry because you're a shithead who is dissing one of the greatest Hollywood movies ever made
what the FUCK more do you want from it???

>what the FUCK more do you want from it???
Actors who can actually act, decent plot and characters, an neutral view of the Muslims and Christians rather than blatant anti-Christian propaganda, but most importantly I would like some actually historical accuracy in a historical film

>Neeson and Bloom can's act
no
>decent plot
it's historical kino
>characters

>Neeson and Bloom can's act
Neeson is fine, but Orlando Bloom’s acting sucks. Completely bland
>it's historical kino
Just because you say it is, doesn’t mean it is. The plot doesn’t make much sense. To give an example: When Balian arrives in the holy land, king Baldwin almost without hesitation gives him command of an army and suggests that he should marry his sister despite Balian being a bastard blacksmith with no military experience. And later in the movie, Balian sets up canals and ditches for irrigation on his land even though he would not know how to do that. And finally he can later defend a city from a siege even though he has no experience doing such a thing. Of course the *real* Balian of Ibelin would be able to do all this stuff because he was a nobleman born and raised in the kingdom of Jerusalem, but of course this movie doesn’t care the slightest about portraying real events accurately does it? This is just one issue out of many in this movie.
>/pol?
Huh? I was suggesting that the movie have not so blatantly an anti-Christian bias to it
>oh wait, you're serious, expecting accuracy from a Hollywood movie
I am expecting historical accuracy from a movie telling historical events, yes. Do you just accept anything that Hollywood gives you even though it’s poorly made?

they didnt surendered in 1099
jews sided with muslims during the siege so they got what they were looking for

a city that has to be stormed will be subjected to looting for atleast 3 days.
a city that surrenders will not

that was basicly law for centuries and everybody followed it.

>not historical kino
just because it's not accurate doesn't mean it isn't
this is fucking Hollywood we're talking about, go watch some gay documentary if you want accuracy you faggot, I'd rather watch something engaging and exciting instead of thinking about why the MC wouldn't know fucking agriculture, are you listening to yourself?
>anti-Christian bias
fuck off, not only is it anti-religion in general, but who gives a flying fuck about the Crusades?
I'm more offended by the Pope than I am by Kingdom of Heaven, and that's just in regards to the sexual abuse, nevermind the "let's wash the feet of invading "refugees" bullshit
>I EXPECT REEEEE
then don't watch Hollywood movies you bitch
go read a book you boring cunt
btw I'm not an Aussie so I mean that as an actual insult

*it isn't good
fuck how did I forget that word

you right

Saladin isn’t religious in the movie though. He literally says allah didn’t do shit and he liberated the muzzles.

Historical accuracy was only part of my point when talking about the plot of the movie. I’ve also pointed out flaws that have nothing to do with accuracy, which you haven’t responded too at all, quite telling that is. Balian is blacksmith yet he can lead armies and defend cities from sieges. He is a bastard who has no experience in government or military whatsoever yet Baldwin promotes him and offers him his sister in marriage. These things do not make sense and there are more.
>fuck off, not only is it anti-religion in general,
No, it is quite clearly anti-Christian. Show me a single scene in the movie where the Muslims are portrayed as bad because their religious piety.
>then don't watch Hollywood movies you bitch go read a book you boring cunt
Okay user, I have a movie pitch for you. It’s a movie about George Washington. In this movie George is black slave who rebels against his master and blows up his house with a hand grenade. He then rallies the entire American population and defeats the British without taking a single casualty. He then boards a ship, sails to England and burns down London and defeats George III in a duel. He goes back home, writes the consitiution all by himself and makes himself president for life.
Now, surely you wouldn’t have a problem with this movie at all right? It’s not a comedy after all, it’s depicting real events.

Everything I've seen of it seems like a strange combination of good and bad ideas, but with exceptionally bad editing

barely read but ur an idiot lol
anyone who dislikes KoH is such

damn

Guess how I know you are a poser and a pleb

Incredible argument. If you are , I’ll just take that as an admission of defeat

Most of the complaints about Balians competency are explain in the directors cut btw.

How so?

take it as an admission of fuck off

There should be a 1453 from the Latin's perspective.

They expand upon his past a shit ton in the director's cut.

For example, he was an engineer in the lord of the town he lives in's army, where he participated in many sieges and built their siege equipment. The town also relies on him to build new buildings.

So just with those few scenes at the beginning they already establish he is a skilled engineer, builder, and experienced in sieges...

>>eating pussy is gay
Yes.

No one knows shit about what happened in the west. That's why I would have the film be from the Latin's perspective. You get to dump a bunch of exposition on a Genoan main character because conceivably he isn't totally privy to what's been going on the last 50 years either.

>Romans are equal to modern Westerners

Romans also wiped their ass with community sponges and drank lead water

That would be amusing

>get off boat to defend city
>walk through the docks
>get up on one of the sea towers
>look out
>Constantinople is a fucking village and farms and all but a ruin
Imagine their and the audiences surprise. Stuff like that is perfect.

This, you also find out the priest played by Michael Sheen is his brother and their relationship is expanded. Neeson also visits the Lord of the town in his castle too (I forget what else is revealed there but some shit goes down), but it also explains why the Lord sends men after Neeson etc.

And were still superior to you.

nah
fag

It sucked

low effort & low energy

Agreed. This was really well written. It's an obvious stage adapation so if you like acting, it is good

it...doesn't rely on cohesive narrative to make you care tho?
once Bloom makes his way to the Holy Land, Neeson's character doesn't matter, it's all about the conflict between Saladin and the crusaders
Kingdom of Heaven is an action movie at its heart
