A Rainha Guerreira

This was pretty awful, couldn't even finish it. Kurylenko was not a good choice, she is way too old, small and unathletic to carry the character of a warrior queen. And her face fillers take you out of the time setting, what kind of "barbarian" has fish lips and fixed forehead, it's obviously a 21st century look. The barbarians are cheezy with eyeliner. There is that whole narrative in the story that they made very loud, of because you are a woman you get nothing plus punishment. Which is kind of an overplayed pandering in movies these days. Tired of all the modern virtues being shoved at every opportunity.

You cannot make a film about the iconic British warrior Queen with this lack of budget, production values, script, bad CGI or directorial talent.

The cast looked great on paper, Kurylenko was well cast, as were the two guys from Vikings, Nick Moran and dear old Rita Tushingham. However, I had major problems with the 'magical flying sword' and the ghost twins. I was fine with the 'sixth sense' reveal about the twins halfway through, but to constantly consult them on battle tactics was ludicrous.

Also Boudica did not die by the sword, she did of poisoning/ fell ill, but hey, don't let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Shame. I wonder what Ridley Scott would have done with this.

Maybe I can make a better film. Wow how can you spend so much money on a film and cast set and not have basic knowledge about Christianity in Britain which did not enter Britain for at least 500-600 years after Boudica died?

What a joke to therefore show Christians getting punished and her walking past them lmao.

Really it's disappointing to watch films like these they can really distort your vision of history which we use these as tools to help educate ourselves in entertainment.

You've then got various other parts showing life back then traders talking about 'imported cosmetics' which I don't trust as accurate way they spoke back then along with the rest of the film and type of English used it does inspire confidence for those deeply interested in British history.

What a weird way to butcher such an iconic historic figure! This movie claims to be "based on real events".

Well to note a few of the gazillion historical inaccuracies,

• Boudica was a redhead. Not blonde
• Throughout the movie, the Roman soldiers wear a helmet that was only worn by the Ottomans in the 16th century
• For a movie that's "inspired by true events", Boudica all of a sudden turns into a witch. Has a floating bronze sword (like she's discount thor).

• Also the movie insists that iron is stronger than bronze. Which it really isnt.

Terrible acting, plot has holes bigger than sinkholes, awful dialogues. I'd give this a 2/10 overall. Don't watch this garbage.

The real story of Boudica is inspirational. This movie makes a mockery of that. First, instead of showing a woman who is successful through her own force of will, intelligence, and courage, this movie injects magic as the cause. (Is this male chauvinism?) Second, I'm a guy who likes some violence on screen, but this level of blood letting is absurd and gratuitous. There are never-ending screen shots of swords through eye sockets, beheadings, and decapitated skulls being bandied about. The dialogue is stilted. The acting is forced.

I'm so very disappointed as I've wanted to see her story on screen for many years. Don't waste your time on this. JPL.
