Movie Critics (823 KP) rated Game Of Thrones - Season 4 in TV
Jul 10, 2017
The show has the blood and gore that a show set during the medieval period would expect to have. There are also some new wrinkles sprinkled into some of these battles, particularly the one at the Wall

Charlie hunnam
Its ok film but not fantastic great fight scenes but did really need david beckham cameo in some places it felt like a medieval lock stock and smoking barrels charlie hunnam plays arthur well not sure jude law was not quite suited to play the villian. In the end just not worth a second viewing

Jude law
Fresh take on a classic
When I heard this was being made and saw the trailer, I thought, no thanks that looks rubbish. However, I watched it and I loved it. Charlie Hunnams acting was strong and powerful. Although I found Jude Laws character very weak. I actually found myself liking the urban take on this medieval classic.

Decent
I would be lying if I said that I have read every poem, but I have read a fair few. Reading early Scots is difficult (even for a Scot) but some of the medieval ballads are fun. Check out 'The Twa Corbies' or Jenny Nettles' holding her bairn under her oxter, good fun.

When Audrey Bloom is asked to provide the flowers for a medieval wedding, she embraces the challenge of finding meaningful flowers that are also historically accurate. But when the father of the groom dies right after the ceremony, Audrey finds herself facing another challenge – tracking down the killer.
I loved the first two in the series, and this one is no exception. The story is fast paced. I had an inkling where things were going, but I wasn’t completely sure until we reached the end. The characters are wonderful, although I do wish we’d seen more of a few of the supporting players. The medieval setting provided some great humor along the way as well. The pages flew by all too quickly as they always do.
NOTE: I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Robin Hood (2018) updates the legend to The Fast & The Feudal #Review
Unnecessary? Yes. Historically inaccurate? Ridiculously so. Fun? Absolutely, you miserable bunch. 2018’s “Robin Hood” sets out to put a modern #OccupySherwood spin on the age-old tale of the redistribution of medieval wealth and taken on its own bonkers terms, there’s a lot of fun to have with this bombastic fast and feudal’ adventure yarn....
