what a waste!!!
Waste of time and energy. The main character is an $%#@#$$ing model trying acting and singing (you can't be all, pick one for goodness sake). Her acting abilities are questionable, why? Because I (and many people) have never heard of her. The whole movie is just really badly done. It's too violent for children yet too foolish at times for adults. Especialy a little scene at the begining when Joan is a little girl and she just had that vision with the sword and she comes back home just to see her mother (am not sure if it was her mother or not) killed with that same sword and then raped. The scene is disgusting in that even though it is a bloody and violent scene and the viewer is raging with disgust for the rapist the director decided to make it a "fun" scene by portraing the rapist as a fool and clown. Anyway I do not recommend it to any serious watchers of history. VERY BAD
