Joan of Arc (1999)
WONDERFUL movie!
We watched this movie and were completely enthralled in it from start to finish! As a way to draw people into history it is a remarkably fascinating movie! It's believable on its own without the story of Joan behind it to give it a dramatic edge.
The actors were believable in their parts without the over the top acting that one so often sees in a medieval movie. This is something that I would watch again!
I found the historical facts and the legend were all personified to a very believable extent, and the attention to detail in the wardrobe was good. It would have been easier to gloss over the gorier aspects of the legend here, but the ending scene paid full justice to what happened.
There were a few discrepancies in the footage (seen as goofs) but honestly, until they were pointed out we never noticed them.

Wrong character name on IMDb list!
Just finished watching this and have to say that while we usually find IMDb to be spot on in regards to movie details, this one has a mistake on it. The character played by Brittany Murphy is not named Ally, but Maggie. At least thats the way it is in the Australian movie.
About the movie itself - I personally found it a bit slow and hard to stay involved in it. I was able to get up and leave the room several times and upon returning found that not only did I not need to go back to see what I missed, but that I was totally indifferent to what I missed.
It definitely didn't hold the kids interest either.
