Watch Richard The Lionheart For Free

Sorry, this movie sucks

Better Late Then Never

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I love this film! I like it very much! Macolm Mc Dowell is amazing as usual and Chandler Maness is a talent actor. I already know the director Stefano Milla and I think he's brilliant. His special view and the way he use to tell us the story is unique. I've bought this DVDs on Amazon and my vote is 10! This title is a good way for a light and funny evening at home. I'll planning the next vacation to this movie's location. I'd like a story and the editing. I've seen this movie the first time during the Monrovia film festival and the critics were enthusiastic! I think you should watch this movie. And I hope you enjoy it.

If there is only one small redeeming quality about Richard: The Lionheart, it's that they did get Henry II's sons' names right, the only bit of history in the movie that's accurate. Other than that, the low-budget shows in some of the cheapest and most vague costumes and sets there's been for any low-budget movie, the modified night-gowns comparison for the costumes is pretty apt and from the way the movie looks it is not clear what the setting is. The special effects never rise above crude standard and the sound constantly sounds as if it was recorded in an over-reverberant bathroom, which is really jarring. The music is the opposite of rousing, instead it's monotonous and sounds like a very, very pale imitation of Hans Zimmer in places. The dialogue sounds stilted and underwritten(especially in the very clunkily-written romance scenes), with a lot of the line delivery being very awkward, plus it has a weird mix of archaic and contemporary so you never feel as though you've been transported to the era of the Plantagenets. Richard: The Lionheart is flatly directed throughout that has the word inexperience all over it, and has uniformly bad performances from a largely unknown cast, most of them under-acting to the point of not looking as if they want to be there. Even worse is that the movie also wastes Malcolm McDowell who on paper seemed perfect and would elevate, but his performance is a mix of over-compensating and sleepwalking through and not helped by being hampered by having little to work with. The story is the biggest failing, it is often very difficult to follow, some scenes drag on for far too long and uses plot devices so overused already that it becomes very predictable as well. The action sequences are incredibly lazy, both in pace(like being in slow-motion) and choreography, school playground fights are honestly far more believable. In conclusion, just horrible in all areas, apart from that one historical accuracy, and unforgivably wastes McDowell. 1/10 Bethany Cox

I have never been a part of a review site my entire life (yelp,rotten tomatoes, etc...) because I am lazy guy that does not want to spend the 5 minutes to sign up. I am the guy who doesn't contribute but checks the sites and values the other viewers who are nice enough to spend the time. I thank you all. *** HOWEVER, this is a special situation***I felt that if I did not spend the time to log in and say how ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE this movie was that I would be doing humanity an INJUSTICE.Giving this movie a 1 is 5 to many stars, it deserves a negative 4 stars. No human should have to sit through such filth and waste their lives. My dog seemed to be entertained at the slow moving guards that have no freaking idea how to swing a sword. There is no sense to the plot, the acting is GARBAGE. The worst part was the ending. You spend 2 hours waiting for a Braveheart type battle only to have been shafted. It likes going to dinner with an unattractive person because you are sure that they will put out. You waste 2 hours of your life with that person and expect great things only to get a kiss on the cheek at the end of the night and a cold shower. The only thing worse than the movie was the guy who gave this movie 4 stars. His review made less sense to me than the movie.***MY RATING NEGATIVE 4 STARS*** ***THE WORST MOVIE OF MY LIFE*** GARBAGE.

DVD Box looked great, plot seemed OK, so I watched it.Wish I hadn't, and also wish I had gone with my first instinct 20 Min's in and switched it off.Totally cant understand this film, are you supposed to suddenly start liking the hero (Richard) after his appalling behaviour 30 Min's before? Basically a pathetic storyline, that doesn't really add up, effects and Atmosphere seem to be added just cos they wanted to, despite being awful effects.Only redeeming quality was the fight scene's made me laugh, it was like watching kids in a playground pretending to fight, slow awkward movements, embarrassing.....My advice would be to NEVER WATCH THIS MOVIE
