Ironclad
This story tells of the year 1215, when the barons of the rebels in England forced King John to put his royal seal on the Magna Carta document, a document that supported the rights of free men. Things seem to have changed quite a few months after the Great Charter was signed. The king retreated from his speech and assembled an army of mercenaries on the southern coast of England with the intention of bringing the emperors and the country back under his tyrannical rule. Perhaps there may be more challenges that occur significantly.

What saves the flick is Paul Giamatti's John, played as a petulant, damaged man born in a world where he wields the power of a god and inevitably rages as that power is snatched away.

Like Takashii Miike's 13 Assassins, Ironclad takes a familiar genre-the historical action picture-and colors it blood-red.

Most of the movie is so bland and has such a lack of passion for characters or story that it makes you wonder why anyone cared enough to make it.

Good gravy, if you're looking for satisfyingly bloody swordplay, look no further.

The loud, closely photographed limb-hacking becomes as monotonous as the movie's unrelentingly gray palette.

James Purefoy's Marshal is still bound by his Templar oaths, but will he be able to preserve his vow of chastity when Kate Mara's lady of the castle starts fondling his great big Templar sword?

Ironclad is as weighed-down as it sounds.

A gore-filled guilty pleasure...

Terrific action spectacle and a great tattered and beaten performance from Paul Giamatti, but the film is largely lifeless and dull.

As a critic who complains about painless and brainless action movies, I hoist a glass of mead to the men and maidens of "Ironclad."

The problem is that the movie is only swords and stage blood. The suits of armor are all empty.
