The costumes are good. The leader of the Nordic mercenary looks full of aura, but it's a pity that there are too few scenes.
I think the highlight of this film is the two-handed giant sword of the actor. The director has obviously worked hard on studying cold weapon combat.
The use of the two-handed giant sword, the chopping with the two-handed grip. There is also a piercing action with a handle in one hand and a sword in one hand. There is also the impact of the counterweight at the end of the hilt, and other details, the director has taken into account and performed well in the film.
After watching China's fancy and unrealistic action movies, watching such realistic war action movies is still very enjoyable.
Unfortunately, there were a few beautiful shots of mace attacks when I first appeared on the scene. I thought the director would arrange a knight with a mace as a supporting role, but I didn't see it in the end.
The hammer is actually a common weapon in the medieval battlefield. The hammer is durable and relatively simple to manufacture. Even if the enemy wears the armor, but the hammer hits the body, even if the armor does not break, the flesh in the armor will suffer considerable damage. Mace combines the advantages of blunt impact and sharp piercing, and is very popular among knights. But I don't know why, there are not many movies showing this weapon.
Finally, the role of the archer is too small. Although the time in this film is not the peak period of the British longbowmen shocking the world, considering the military regulations that the King of England smashed in 1242 that caused the whole people to bow. I think it's totally justified to show the charm of the yew longbow vigorously in this film.
It’s a pity that the archer in the movie is thin and not like an archer at all. 50 catties of rice is enough to eat.) And I died without firing a few arrows.........The
most regrettable thing is that the ultra-long range of the British longbow is not shown. It is a quick shot at close or mid-range. What a pity in regret.
Of course, the film is not perfect, but it is still very enjoyable, especially for cold weapon lovers or medieval lovers. So I gave 4 stars, of which 1 star is for the two-handed sword.
