Title: Ironclad
Post by: SleepyArcher on July 11, 2011, 12:14:28 AM
Here I have been waiting for this to hit the theater but on Netflix it shows us available as of 7/26/11 only on DVD or blue ray so I guess it's not coming out in theaters?

This would appear to be the case for the majority of the USA. There was supposed to be a limited release in certain theaters. Most of us have already peordered our DVDs through AMAZON.

I had the privilege of viewing it last night and can honestly say, its without a doubt the best medieval flick I've seen since the release of KoH in 2005.

How does it stack up with Arn?

Both good movies almost a draw. Ironclad lacks the romance (there is a little) and is by far more graphic.  So, Ironclad gets higher ratings on the man scale.  ;) ;D

Yeah! Always good to see the man scale broken out to rate movies. Last one I had to use it with was "The Eagle".

Saw it last night, was pleased.
There's another thread about this in the movie section here where I did a humble review of it.

It is also available on demand from DirectTV for 6 bucks, which I did.  ;D It will likely find its way into my DVD collection. ;)

I saw the movie a few nights back. I must say, after waiting 3 years for its release I was disappointed. Bottom line is that this is "historical fiction: with a 300 mentality for delivery. :'(

I watched for the pure escapist release it provided versus reality TV and whatever else gets put on the air. I guess I now wait for the release of Camelot and Game of Thrones on DVD.

And see now brother, I found it to be one of the best ones I have ever seen since Arn and KOH. I was sooo fixated on it. And yes, it is VERY graphic. But hey, it is the middle ages. It was one that kept you interested for sure. I will try and post more of a review when I get the DVD and watch it again. I was surly not disappointed.
