Trivia

At the beginning of the battle in the woods, the command given to the Archers is "Fire!" This command is derived from the use of fire weapons (cannons etc), which are not present in the film's setting. The correct command would be "Loose!" See more »Quotes

After reading a lot of the comments about this movie, I have to wonder if I saw the same movie as everyone seems to have watched.
I like Statham as an actor, the man has amazing charisma as an action hero, so I decided to watch this despite what I had read about it. I was very pleasantly surprised.
The movie I saw was very entertaining fantasy story with a great cast, great scenic locations, engaging battles, outstanding costumes, that kept me thoroughly entertained for it's entire running time.
I would describe the acting as "adequate". Some of the characters seemed over the top and the worst by far was Ray Liotta (I've never been a great fan of his), but overall they got the job done.
I liked the magic in this movie. It seemed very "physical" and hands-on. The fight near the end with the floating swords was very nicely done, and all the magical effects seemed "believable" as far as magic goes.
The scenery and costumes were fantastic, it gave "dark ages" feel to it, dirty and gritty.
All in all, I really enjoyed this movie. I'd give it a 7, maybe an 8, but I'm giving it a little extra considering how pleasantly surprised I was due to all the negativity, ending up at a 9.
