Medieval (2022)

A lot has changed in the past 600 years – governance; church; combat; medicine. These things all used to be much less refined. “Medieval” takes audiences back to these rougher times to witness how a little ingenuity and a lot of determination could turn the tide of battle. While the movie fails to be Czech “Braveheart,” it succeeds at portraying a resourceful, young military commander fighting against a more powerful enemy. If you see the movie expecting to see a deep character story with moving romantic moments, though, you will likely be disappointed. If, on the other hand, you see it expecting to see a gritty, historical war drama, then you will be much better served.
