Redbad (2018)
7/10
Flawed but enjoyable
31 January 2023
The makings of a decent film buried in an overlong epic. I made it to the end, but distracted by slow moving and disjointed action, unbelievably incessant rain to indicate location, repeat showings of unnecessary journeys (wait didn't they pass those crooked branches poking out of the water twice before?) and strange mishmash of costumes and trappings as mentioned by other viewers. Then to top it all I subsequently discovered serious historical inaccuracies. E.g. Charles Martel was a convincing film villain, but not so in actuality. But still, I watched it to the end and it's got me interested in the period.
