I wasn't sure what exactly to expect, overall, Ironclad got mediocre reviews and myself not being a Paul Giamatti, I was skeptical. Thankfully my skepticism was short lived; acting was great, the cast seemed knowledgeable in ancient history, the sets were spot on and era accurate, plenty of realistic and believable gore, overall this was a great movie.
I'd recommend it to anyone wanting their medieval movie fix, there are far too few as it is, if you've been thinking about watching or buying it, hesitate no more!
