Outlaw King Movie Review
Outlaw King is a fantastic historical film
Outlaw King is a 2018 historical film on Netflix that follows the tale of Robert the Bruce (Chris Pine), as he strikes up another rebellion against the English Crown. The film opens at the end of the Scottish rebellion that involved William Wallace. The Scottish lords are re-swearing their allegiance to the English crown, and Robert the Bruce is to be married to the king's goddaughter. After a bit of time, once they populace discovers that William Wallace has been executed, Robert the Bruce strikes up another rebellion against the English, but will it work this time?
So, first off I want to say that I love historical films. From what I gather, this film is very historically accurate, and I love that! I don't know much about this time period in history, I myself learn more about Roman, specifically I'm interested in late Republican times, and I'm also interested in the American Founding. Yet I found myself greatly enjoying this mid-evil period piece. It was pretty cool seeing people wear gambesons, and all that sweat sweat chainmail. Also they showed different kinds of weapons used in combat other than swords which is fantastic!
I have to give you dear reader a warning about this film. Some of the blood and gore involved are pretty graphic. I would say it's more graphic then some other historical films, So I just wanted to give you that warning.
This movie has made me want to read more about Robert the Bruce
. It's a fascinating period, and it's a story that most of us haven't heard. Also from what I hear, this movie is more historically accurate than Braveheart
, and to be honest, I can believe that.
The acting in this film is pretty darn good. Chris Pine does a fantastic job in the film, and this is probably one of the best works that I've seen him in. The other actors in the film also do a fine job as well. I don't think there was an actor that I could specifically point out as being bad.
I throughly enjoyed myself with this film and I feel like it's one that I will come back to and rewatch multiple times in the future. The cinematography was great and the acting was amazing, also I believe they filmed the whole movie in Scotland. If you haven't seen, Outlaw King, this is one of the must see films of the year!
final score: 4.3/5
