I Love Movies Like This

I am a big fan of Marvel, and I couldn't have been happier with this movie. Thor is one of the classics, based off of ancient mythology. He is a God. A protector. In this movie they gave him a funny side and it makes it that much more enjoyable.

I love the realistic sarcasm that was thrown into the battle scenes. While the costumes are a bit odd, the movie itself is well made and I would definitely watch it again.

David McK (3632 KP) rated Conquest (Making of England, #1) in Books

Jan 30, 2019

A fictionalised retelling of the life story of Hereward of Bourne (also known as Hereward the Wake): an Anglo-Saxon who lead the resistance against William the Conqueror following his victory against Harold at Senlac Ridge, in what would become known as the Battle of Hastings.

While it is a name I had heard before, I have to say it's not a story that I was familiar with (unlike that of, say, Robin Hood or King Arthur) - this, however, I actually found to be rather a dry read.

Movie Rating

2-part TV movie that takes, as it's basis, the earlier-set (India) but later-written of Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series of books.

As the actors have aged somewhat since the 90s, this has to take a few liberties with the plot (and covers several of those earlier books), such as setting this after the Battle of Waterloo instead of in the late 1790s, and by replacing Sergeant Hakeswill with another such like character: unfortunately, as there's no real history between that character and Sharpe, the animosity between the two characters never really sits right.
