It was pretty good. It does a good job of showing how convoluted and personal Medieval politics can get, and also has multiple well choreographed fight scenes in varied locations. It's gotambushes, tunnel fighting, underwater fighting, field combat, and a siege.
[...]
It has acceptable action, but after a while I got the impression that I was watching some kind of anti Hungarian propaganda. The story itself was really relatively simple but became kind of convoluted.
IMO It was worth a watch because it isn't capeshit or a sequel.
Alright, I'm convinced. Hope it's not anti-Catholic.

Not that I could tell, a Papal Schism was the big issue, though.
I did not watch it, but current crop of European cinema - when oriented towards national kino - is painfully jingoistic due to utter lack of autors with something to say. This is particularly evident in Russian cinema, where every Red Army soldier is both a good patriot, Russian, just a good lifeless pointless overall mensch while Germans come straight out of CoD stereotypes. This basically goes for every single nu-kino I had the misfortune to watch, and the CGI is everywhere, composite, green screen, you name it. Like, Eisenstein made a movie where Jesuits are basically Nazis but it's so well shot, so visionary, so moving that it's on par with any modern blockbuster (well, there are no good modern blockbusters but you catch my drift). It's like every historical modern kino nowadays is made for morons who listen to Sabaton.
I think governments are investing in film propaganda again. I can't really comment on accuracy because I don't know shit about that period.
>People are fed up of whites.
Literally the only two nonwhites I saw. I checked the cast list and aside from the big names, the rest had salvic sounding names. I've also stopped looking for any reason to not consume media, and reasons to do so. I chose to watch this because its not capeshit or a 30 year old sequel.
But I guess penniless NEETs just want to drag everyone down to their level.

It's not great and Northman is much better. You'll walk into this either expecting Czech Braveheart or seeing some radical war-wagon battles (if you know the slightest trivia about the main character).
The movie is just a mediocre middle-ages outlaw story. Lots of guys with lots of thick accents you can barely understand. Michael Caine desperate for a paycheck. No war-wagons except in one shot of the epilogue.
Saw a single ad for this about a week ago, it's already out?
It looked like yet another grey-filtered dirt-covered gross misinterpretation of medieval warfare, so that's a hard pass from me.
The name seems fine, and it's got some serious big names in it like Michael Cain, it's probably even quite good but no c**t has ever heard of it because they never bothered to advertise it much if at all.
Because real people (Anglosphere folks) aren't interested in watching boring Slavic Mongol rapebaby films. We want movies about history that actually matters. Make a movie about Anglosphere history. Nobody cares about this crap.

There's nothing wrong with being passionate about something you enjoy. Do you guys just live in empty rooms with base walls because buying anything to decorate your home is "consumerism"? I knew communists were moronic, but damn.

That depends on whether or not what you enjoy is consumerist/manchild garbage like anime, marvel, video games, toys etc. You're an adult man. >I knew communists were moronic, but damn. >anyone who doesn't platster their house with pop culture references is a commie

This is pretty sad man. Maybe you should take a step back and think about why you blame any criticism of your childish behavior on women, inthink there's some underlying issues here. Do they say these things to you often? If so, do you just disregard completely? I would suggest asking yourself why women keep saying these things to you.

Let me be clear about why this is a flop in NO uncertain terms. The age when israelites (under the banner of christgays) took over Europe and then the Earth has been the darkest, most demonic, filthiest, most degenerate age in all of human history. The only morons who glorify it are germanics and slavs, because both are and have always been filthy barbaric savages. The DAY christgays took over Europe people literally forget how to even draw human figures.
The man responsible is a great producer and kudos for getting all the money and international crew for it, shame his ego would not allow him to also hire a director and had to do it himself.
It looks exactly like every other ahistorical medieval movie made in the last 15 years. They need to stop this dark and gloomy meme and make historically accurate outfits
It's weird because KCD is also made by Czechs yet is a 180 from the movie in terms of accurate medieval aesthetics and looks authentic for the most part
The movie bombed because it looks like generic shit with the same tropes you've seen in other recent medieval movies. Make it look authentic and then we'll see
>inauthentic grimdark medieval >no colour, doesn't look fun or interesting to normies >little appeal to medievalists either because of lack of authenticity. >little to no advertising
no brand recognition
audiences are so moronic they wouldnt go see the best movie ever unless they were told its the adaptation of some shit
and if we're talking about amerimutts, it would have to have at least 10 Black folk and 1 girlboss character
The soviets pulling a coup d'etat was the last straw in Soviet US relations breaking down. Stalin promised free elections for the countries they seized from Germany, when the polling looked like the Czechs weren't full commie they decided to roll in tanks instead.
The only reason I knew this was coming out was because they sponsored an ad on one of the history documentary youtube channels I watch. I wouldn't have even known this existed.
“The plot of the film starts sometime in the 14th century, when Wenceslaus IV is the king of Bohemia and Roman emperor at the same time. Wenceslas has received the throne after his father Charles IV, but his reign is not as successful and the kingdom seems to fall apart under his weak rule. The most powerful nobleman in the country, Henry III of Rosenberg, keeps seizing properties of lower nobility one after another, until one of them starts resisting. The brave hero is young Jan Žižka, a knight and mercenary, future leader of the Hussite army. Rosenberg had almost all his family killed and Žižka wants revenge. Rosenberg's fiancée Katherine falls in love with the warrior and hands him the text between Rosenberg and the League of Lords planning to dethrone the king. Although the plot is revealed, the League succeeds in kidnapping the king. The king's troops manage to make Wenceslas free, but he has to accept a humiliating peace. Thus Žižka has to choose between two alternatives: give up the fight for justice and receive a higher rank at the royal court, or keep fighting, though alone and abandoned.[16]”
I saw ads for it on Twitter but it looked boring and generic and I never heard of it so I payed no attention
>Payed
Apologize NOW!
ESL Black person
First I've heard of it.
Literally never heard of this movie and I live opposite a big cinema.
not enough advertising
Is it good? I'd watch it if strangers on the internet have convincing takes on it.
you will have the theatre to yourself most likely
Alright, I'm convinced. Hope it's not anti-Catholic.
It's pro Hussite
It was pretty good. It does a good job of showing how convoluted and personal Medieval politics can get, and also has multiple well choreographed fight scenes in varied locations. It's gotambushes, tunnel fighting, underwater fighting, field combat, and a siege.

I never heard about it, I should CZECH it out
It looks like he's still getting one last joke out. What's he saying, bros?
Czechs should stick to what they do best . Being poor whites who force beautiful white girls into prostitution
Damn it, Carlos!
Saw a single ad for this about a week ago, it's already out?
It looked like yet another grey-filtered dirt-covered gross misinterpretation of medieval warfare, so that's a hard pass from me.
Not many Czeckoslovakians in America.
Who else would watch this?
is it better than the northman?
no
No advertising. Thought it was a straight to streaming movie.
cant find a screenshot but there is a scene where a giant stake is put in someone's ass so they could do that slow death torture thing
Not enough Superheroes for the Americlaps
Why did what flop?
Apparently the Czechs spent a shitload of money to make a shit looking generic movie with bong actors. Sad.
looks awesome, what the frick? Why the advertisers think I wanna watch cape shit, but not this?
>a shitload of money
the budget is like $20M
Michael caine in a medieval film... he can only do one accent.
Seems like it's a kidnapping/love story instead about the undefeated half-blind then fully blind general of bohemia.
>medieval filter
The Czech are only good at making porn
>spend $20million on a film
>don't tell anyone you're putting it in theaters
>wonder why it doesn't make money
looks like some Ironclad kino
looks cheap and I'm sick of the desaturated look.
It looks kino as frick but I agree about the desaturated look. It's getting old.
it got old in 2003 when King Arthur did it. I have no fricking clue why they're still doing it 20 years down the line.
p.s. that also starred TIL SCHWEIGER among a cast of european actors. time is a flat circle.
at least it's somewhat stark compared to the lifeless blue hue.

I didn't even see ads for the movie. Also, it has such a generic name.
Where's the people of color?
No marketing and it looked extremely generic
probably because no advertising agency would touch it due to it's negative ESG score considering it's all white cast.

Funny never heard of this film but a couple of days ago my gf suggested we maybe go see it since I got a couple free tickets.
So did you? Or not yet?
Not yet we were talking about going this weekend. But she looked at the reviews and that gave her pause and she was thinking See How They Run instead.

Why did they make him look like Berric Dondarrion?
more like czech these digits
given the fact I'm just hearing of it now, I'm gonna guess it was ineffective marketing.
I guess you could say they frogot to Czech em
>why did it flop?
White people are boring race to focus on. The majority of the US is diverse, and non-white races won't play ball.
The Czechs should stick to their thriving gay porn industry

Generic title. It’s like naming a cowboy movie “Wild West”, or a caveman movie “Prehistoric”
This is where I even heard about it existing. I'm sure the movie was generic garbage though, but his story is interesting.
Never heard about it anywhere.

Well, it only got released to theaters on Sept.8
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_(film)
“The plot of the film starts sometime in the 14th century, when Wenceslaus IV is the king of Bohemia and Roman emperor at the same time. Wenceslas has received the throne after his father Charles IV, but his reign is not as successful and the kingdom seems to fall apart under his weak rule.

>Wenceslaus IV is the king of Bohemia
I recognize that name. Never heard of the movie but just seems like a fine enough medieval action movie.
I've never heard of it. Do people in Europe know that films have to be marketed to an audience that might wish to see it?
Oh and I forgot to mention that both nonwhites suffered particularly brutal deaths.
cast wasn't diverse. the people want blacks.
literally not heard of it until you made this thread, so I'm going to say they didn't advertise
Just more proof that diversity is the way to go
probably because it was fricking boring and stupid, the trailer looked incredibly mundane
Watched it a couple days ago. I was the only person in the theater, I thought it was a but weird. The movie was shit though
