Romans wearing Renaissance clothing gives you a good idea of what to expect.

"My armor does nothing!"
"Our formations do nothing!"
and now, brand new:
"My carnyx sounds like a dremel!"

I’ve seen this film. In the Netflix description it states that the film is “inspired by historical events”, which is code for ‘’Fuck the historical authors, we’ve decided to make it all up”. The flying magic sword and Nero’s death were the most egregious moments of the film, but not the only ones. The Battle off Watling Street is crap. No huge armies, no bottle neck in an otherwise fairly open area, no Britons in the baggage train watching at the back of Boudicca’s lines, no impressive hoard of battle chariots, it’s basically a small skirmish in some random woodland with about 2 chariots they can’t use, because woodland… Did I mention the magic flying bronze sword? 😂🤣

Cool! I just watched the whole movie in two and a half minutes.

16% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. That's a shame. Boudica deserves a proper telling of her story.

[JoshWoltz-bm]

As an historian and former professor of Celtic culture, just watching the trailer I'm seeing things portrayed that absolutely did NOT happen to her. One example: she was never strung up and whipped. Whipping was reserved for men, particularly those who led. To whip her was to elevate her to the status of a man - something Rome would never do. She was tied to a post and beaten with their fists. Also, she was NEVER branded - also something reserved for male enemies. After being beaten, she was forced to watch as her two daughters were gang raped by the soldiers in front of her. This looks like a complete mess. So much for actual history.

[grahamgilbert]

I'm just going to give you a few samples demonstrating the awfulness of the dialogue: Boudica's daughters are learning Latin so that they can "navigate the future"; Boudica is off to a "cosmetics session", where she learns that excess hair is "not at all fashionable this season"; she then heads "outside roman security lines" (this is just in the first few minutes. I couldn't bear to extend my suffering). There, she comes across someone who has been crucified, whom her nanny and daughters recognise as being a "Christian" - about a hundred and fifty years before anyone in Britain had heard of Christianity. Jeez.

How has no one made a good movie about her yet. A proper, mind blowing budget, well researched movie. I mean, I get it...there can be issue separating fact from legend, but she was the real deal. We end up with one bad low budget movie after another about her. But there has never been a well written script with good talent behind it, nor a decent budget or good direction. Particularly awful in this trailer is the sound editing. I initially wrote that off as probably the computer I was watching it on, but then watched another movie trailer which has amazing sound. This feels like a production for TV from like 1992.

I was expecting half the Brits to be cast as black. A blessed relief.

[auckman]

I've always wanted to see a good Boudica film. This doesn't look like it.

[ronaldcole]

I think the producers vastly underestimated just how many people know this story. The huge armies and the unique flat top chariots are not even in the film. Was sadly a very poor production and lacking in the most vidal aspects of her life and battles.

"In stature she was very tall, in appearance most terrifying, in the glance of her eye most fierce, and her voice was harsh; 4 a great mass of the tawniest hair fell to her hips; around her neck was a large golden necklace; and she wore a tunic of divers colours over which a thick mantle was fastened with a brooch. This was her invariable attire. She now grasped a spear to aid her in terrifying all beholders" - Cassius Dio

[plevas]

I'm trying to think of a Roman show or movie that Netflix has done where the Romans don't get their ass handed to them. Who hurt you Netflix????

[ekulenwaiku]

I suspect this film was shot in someone's backyard.

[Lion_Heart_Zimbabwe]

Imo the Celtic people are among the greatest and most fascinating historical people to exist.

[Nuth]

Imagine a movie about Amanirenas, the African queen that actually drove them back and survived.

[alunevans]

why are Boudicas daughters indian when her husband is a white Celt?

[Ricardo-lbso]

Why has this film so utterly underrated by mainstream media? Strange.

[zwastiunburzy]

Before I watched this movie, I was hopeful that finally someone had made a decent movie about this exciting and legendary Celtic heroine. I tried. I did. I really did. I got about half way through before I urgently had to switch the movie off, because I could literally feel the intelligence in my mind leaking away. Leaking badly, only to be replaced slowly but surely by stupid. Why can't anyone make a proper, factual yet inspiring movie on this subject? This one left the impression that a team of five year old children could've done a better job. Not only were the action scenes cliche, (you could nearly see the buckets filled with fake blood being thrown across the camera's viewfinder), the acting atrocious, which I don't understand, Rollo(Clive Standen) and Olga Kurylenko 𝘤𝘢𝘯 act, I've seen them both do much better than this, the storyline and continuity seemed to have been written and edited by an orangutan high on acid, and directing done by someone who obviously had more important things on their mind. In other words, if you don't want to leave the cinema feeling a good deal more stupid than when you entered, I'd probably go and do something more enjoyable, maybe stick some red hot needles into your eyeballs.

Audio quality straight from the 90s :D
