Boudica: Rise of the Warrior Queen

I don't care it's lack of fidelity to historical facts, but it's just a bad movie. It is so boring, the performances are bad and the script makes no sense.

This is a pathetic woke rewriting of history. It does NOT follow Celtic history or legend. According to history she DID NOT run away from home to avoid a "quant traditional marriage". She lived a normal childhood for the time and married an ICENI who became the tribal king and she the queen. The had two daughters. The rest of the story is well known.

The only historical records of Boudica where written by the Romans who had no interest in her until she become Queen so this is pure fiction. Why does it matter ? because the actual historical events that have been written about would make a fantastic epic move but I guess that would have required a budget. One of the things that annoy me the most about movie makers of today is they love to replace traditional male roles with women but there are many great woman like Boudica that great movies could be made about but all they get is low budget, badly written with nobody actors movie made about them ... if you have any interest in Queen Boudica don't bother with this insult to her

First off there is hardly any action in the film for the first hour and then some. The camera work is a lot of hand held and disrupts the movie. Some of the audio mixing/levels needs some work and the plot twist in the end is nice but cannot save this movie or make it better. The main male character needs more acting classes and delivers his lines flat. The story does not go anywhere until the last ten minutes of the movie. This movie is more of a drama than action or historical and the last minute sets it up for the sequal. Something to watch, but don't expect a lot from this and would have hoped the post pdlroductiin would of seen the outcome.

The movie poster shows Boudica in battle dress and the promotional material talks about epic battle scenes. Well the whole movie takes place before Baudica actually becomes queen so she's never actually in battle dress or the head of an army and the epic battle scenes consist of poorly acted skirmishes between 5 or six people.

I was watching this movie waiting for the preamble to end and the main movie to start when the closing credits came up. Total waste of time.
