Another failure

Rating: 2/10 (3 November 2019)

With a Netflix production you have only a fifty fifty chance of getting anything decent and even those odds are diminishing with the newer projects.
First of all....... no one , not one single person, was "tasked" with doing a job back in the late 1300s . They were ordered, or told, or commissioned to do the job but never tasked. That's because task is a noun, you buffoons! What are they teaching in film school these days?
As a movie covering an epic tale, this one is about as thin as a sheet of graphene, more like the "Holy Grail" made serious.
A few have commented that there is no character development (or very little at the most) and I have to agree.
They must hire their producers from Hallmark cards because it has all the feel of "The Gift of the Magi" but maybe I'm just too demanding.
On the good side it does have great costuming and evil looking and scheming courtiers. If some of the supporting cast had been brought in a bit more it could have been much better production.
I'm beginning to think that I myself could come up with much better stuff than most of the latest from netflix, but they won't let me out of the old people's home for fear I'll get lost.
If you've got time to waste or it's the inflight entertainment, then indulge yourself but if you have to make any sort of effort to see it .......... don't bother
