talal-1 I recorded this movie 18 Feb 2017, it was showing on Fox Action Movies HD Channel. Today 30 Nov 2017, my mom wanted to watch some movie. So I went down the list and found the name Richard The Lionheart (without the word Rebellion). Anyhow I started playing the movie and I first thought it was like an old version like from 80's 90's, I'm surprised it was made in 2015, also I noticed the cuts between scenes weren't normal but I thought it was done by the channel to fit the movie in the allocated time slot.Anyhow, I noticed that it was kind of medium quality flick but kept watching since my mom loves movies and used to watch the TMC channel back in the states which used to show all these old movies. So I guess it felt normal, ha ha.Anyhow, we kept watching and we enjoyed it. I know it is not a perfect movie but my point is that we enjoyed it and my mom even wanted more. She actually she was not convinced the movie ended when the father King said "prepare for war". So I started searching for a sequel and here found all these funny and harsh comments.I know again that it is not the best movie out there, but please know that some people enjoy those movies even if they are not perfect. Not everyone is so detail oriented and a critic or a film maker like some of you here.I really feel bad for the movie makers for the so much bad reviews here. but I know it is a learning step for all of them to become even better. But wanted to write this review to let them know that my mom and I enjoyed it even with some of those flaws listed by others.Not just that, we're ready for the sequel please. May be the sequel will be much better since the film makers must have learned a lot from making this film.This is my own statement and I'm not being paid by anyone. We are in Abu Dhabi in Nov 2017 and we've just watched and enjoyed Richard The Lionheart - Rebellion.I guess some things are just loved by fans. Remember the T-Shirt that said Skiing is like Sex, when it's good, it's good and when it's bad, it's still good. I guess for me and my mom, we love movies so much, and I love this medieval genre, so even a mediocre medieval movie is still a good movie :)
rmclamond Usually I try to get track of all new releases about middle-age films. I came across IMDb from another website and reading the negative rating I was almost falling out with the idea of watching this. So, what is wrong with you guys? I really liked this film and it was made really well. HEY? Middle-age is not fantasy and is not the Pirates of the Caribbean, I think you guys have some issues with ages and historical geo-localization. Do you think that in the 1100 DC as a guardian of a castle there was a navy troop?Good luck with your envy, and next time you can't get a movie because your limited budget don't come on IMDb to revenge your anger, you are delusional and cheap businessmen.
AnonymousCritic It is clear that this title received little funding, but given that it has some pretty good sets, locations, weapons, costumes and sound design.The actors are amateurs, and whilst there are some terrible performances (including a few bad attempts at the French accent) many of the actors are pretty good, and the camera work is well framed on the actors and their motions.There clearly is a plot although I couldn't tell you what it was.As far as films go this is an amateur production, but as far a amateur films go this is a pretty good effort.
GHill1173 Don't get me wrong, this film is absolutely terrible. You really only need to look at the trailer to see that this is a very low budget production. But, to be honest, that's what makes it so entertaining. Yes the acting and directing was horrendous, and it has all the historical accuracy of a Year 5 textbook, but that's part of the charm. It's so bad, it's actually quite good. And so if you want a film with realistic and relatable characters, that keeps you on the edge of your seat and truly brings history to life, then this probably isn't the right film for you. But if you want to watch something just to poke fun at how hilariously bad it is, then this is perfect for you.
