Medieval.
Ben Foster, who you will recognise from playing the bad guy or the tragic best friend, showing here that he does not have the charisma to carry a film as lead. Showing on Netflix I think, I get muddled up with all these streaming services that seem more and more alike as they descend into mire of poorly made zombie and fantasy dross. Sorry, but I Lee Grant. Back to the film.
It is the story of Jan Zizky a Czech (Bohemian) hero of long ago. By all accounts an incredible military commander and one of the most influential Europeans during the time of the Holy Roman Empire, which sadly was not covered in my history curriculum at school.
Anyway the film. Instead of telling anything of the real story, they made him a Robin Hood type figure, with a tragic and less than believable love interest. Some good-ish action scenes, little in the way of coherent plot and a phone it in performance from Michael Caine (one of many I know).
Tit watch: a brief view of some unleavened baps during a mild rape scene.
Not a film to make you keep the subscription going.

Black Adam
- I want to say that I don't know why this movie exists. It's just... damn near a parody of superhero movies from this century
- AM I missing the point? Was it actually a parody?
- But sadly - Hanlon's Razor suggests not...
- It really does seem like some movie exec types really are as simple-minded and as cartoonish as worst estimates, and said "Um, yeah, like - Marvel had a Black-Superhero, and it did really well, so... let's do that?"
- Throw in a shit-ton of other characters that I'm sure DC-
comic-sorry-"graphic-novel"-fucking-nerds will recognise and understand, but nobody else will... - And we get a horrifying B-grade mixtape of X-Men vs Black-Panther vs Guardians-of-Galaxy
- With tit-watch: zero
Just atrocious.
1 under-utilised People's-Eyebrow out of 5 under-utilised "can you smell what Black Adam is cooking?". 's.
Or 1 stupid-henchman who decides that firing a gun at an obvious "meta-human" is a good idea, minutes after seeing the lack of effect... out of 5... locals who suddenly decide that an uprising against literal agents of fucking hell is sweet, after enduring decades of oppression by dumb-ass south-african mercenaries. -

I have a feeling it is better than this…….
I think the narrator of the trailer makes the movie even worse than it is.
What’s even more scary is I actually remember seeing it as a kid.

Lucky I’ve got @Bones to audit that thread and point out my discrepancies.
