Forgive the History Lesson: We are Moviegoers to be entertained!

Rating: 8/10 (31 May 2020)

If I wanted to attend a history lesson or learn accurate history then I would go back to school. That being said, what I really a. Is a man that wants to be entertained by watching a good movie. Fortunately for us, this is a truly entertaining film! Those of you reviewers and historical buffs that are crying out that this movie is no good because it doesn't strictly follow the actual events that took place.
The reason most of us go to the movies or watch a film is because we wish to be entertained in the most satisfactory way possible! If this requires changing the truth similar to the way other GREAT movies changed the historical account to create a masterpiece then by all means please do so!
Many other great films have VERY noticeable historical modifications made to be able to increase the entertainment factor. To name a few of such films is quite easy: Inglorious Bastards, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood and many other great films have intentionally changed history to create a masterpiece of cinema greatness. We are to be entertained as cinema lovers, as that is why w3 hav3 come here correct? I cam to watch a movie and be entertained. If you came here to study for history then you have com3 to the wrong place.
The acting: fantastic! The King's method acting young star Is nothing short of great and I expect to see him in similar and even much larger roles in Hollywood.
The cinematography: Very good. The shots are wide and expansive including much of English moors, forests and actual castles. We feel as though we are there.
The sound: Grim and foreboding music accompanied many of the scenes in thi# film, albeit quite a serious and somewhat grim atmosphere throughout the film, I feel as though it works as such. In some places the LACK of sound and music spoke strongly for itself. It is not GREAT sound, but rather good enough.
The actors: I recognize many of the actors in this film as many of the young experienced Hollywood and English professionals that they are. I feel as though it has been well cast with some new faces mixed in with the veterans for a good effect.
Overall: this certainly no masterpiece; however, for what it is with the budget they had, this is certainly a solid 8/10 film. It entertained me. As many "historians" have quite loudly spoken about this film not being historically accurate, I say to them that if I wanted history I would go to school. This is a movie, so I want to be entertained and this film has delivered on that front providing a good escape for the somewhat long 2 hours and 20 minutes. Well done! Watch this one.....unless you are a historical buff that is!
