Ironclad Movie Reviews – Watch Trailer
Ironclad Movie Synopsis: A ragtag group of Knights Templar hold out for months against the hard-fought siege of Rochester Castle in the thirteenth Century. Set in the time of King John’s signing of the Magna Carta treaty, the group struggles against the King to defend the freedom of their country. “Judging from James Purefoy’s bloody sword, the movie Ironclad is going to be a bloody feast! Well at least it will be somewhat historically accurate because the Siege of Rochester Castle was a damn bloody mess, a really hard-fought battle.”
Ironclad Movie Reviews
The problem is that the movie is only swords and stage blood. The suits of armor are all empty. – Stephen Whitty from Newark Star-Ledger
Casting is almost uniformly first rate with Cox, Purefoy and the always brilliant Giamatti providing noteworthy standouts. – Wade Major from Boxoffice Magazine
Through it all, Paul Giamatti spits bilious fury as a ruthless king with a mile-wide mean streak and an army of Danish mercenaries. What’s not to like? – Jeff Shannon from Seattle Times
The core fan base of this English sword battle drama will pay for the boundary-pushing blood and gore. Why bore them with things like plot and context and production values? – Peter Hartlaub from San Francisco Chronicle
