The most Impressive thing about Medieval is the way the producers and director have committed to trying to re-create the world where the story is set in the most realistic way that they can. Everyone is filthy, the violence is disturbing, and all of the little details that you look for in a film set during this period are there.It's a pleasure obviously to see Ben Foster and Michael Caine on the same screen, though it would've been great to have them interact more. But they, and the rest of the cast, are first class.Someone has had a lot of fun with casting of the minor characters also, who are not there for their looks, let us just say!There are a lot of fights, but two of the battle scenes just stand out as being fantastically well done and gripping. Bravura directing.If you're not as interested in medieval history as I am this might not float your boat as much as it did me But you will certainly not regret seeing this fantastic and very non-Hollywood movie.
