Entertaining for sure... but...0% accurate

Rating: 4/10 (23 November 2019)

Wanna watch a satisfying movie, where good and smart English heroes humiliate a bunch of bad and arrogant French villains? Go ahead and watch "The King" ! Most actors are great and battles are epic...
BUT: if you think historical movies should be historically accurate, FORGET THIS ONE!
I checked the facts after the movie... it ruined the experience. Nothing happened this way, it's almost like the authors didn't give a sh**.
Also (and this is more personal as I am French) : the performance of Robert Pattinson, supposedly a French prince speaking English with a terrible accent, was unbearable to me... I mean, they could have easily found an authentic French actor with a terrible accent. Most French people do have terrible accents. But an American actor faking a French accent... such a weird idea - it simply doesn't work... (by the way: at that time, most English nobles and kings were mainly speaking French even at the court).
