You won't be disappointed!

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

One of my all time favorites.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

This is not a movie I would have chosen, but Director Luc Besson has "Valerian" coming out soon, and this movie was mentioned in a review. There are reviews written by people with far greater knowledge. I have a casual understanding of the story of Joan of Arc, and know less about the events of the time. As a movie, I enjoyed this immensely. This movie gets the people right.Milla Javovich hits it perfectly. She is vulnerable while unstoppable. She is full of doubt, but completely certain. And during the trial, she can do "caged animal" with just her eyes. I can't imagine anyone else pulling this off. Milla does unapologetically devote better than anyone since Audrey Hepburn in "The Nun's Story".The supporting cast did a stellar job. There are a lot of medieval movies and TV shows, and most of them aren't believable because people aren't stern or earnest all the time. "Game of Thrones" is fun to watch because sometimes people laugh, and sometimes they fight. If you ever saw a medieval movie, and wondered what the guard standing next to the door does when the camera and the king aren't there, this movie has it. Some reviews called that filler, but it was fun and humanized the soldiers.I gave it a 10 because it showed people in a way different than other medieval movies. Again, I don't know if the historical facts are correct, but I would not be surprised if the people acted just like they are portrayed.

i never wrote any movie review before, but I felt that it's too bad to let someone else suffer by watching it. the movie star was a disaster and totally fake. i think any other actor could've played it better than her.if i could give it below 1 as rating i would but unfortunately, 1 is the least. 2 hours wasted for nothing.

This time the film is just a pretext for what I want to share. I will express it in a few moments.The period of time which indicates the film is one of the essential ones for the further historical development. These are process of awakening from the influence of church and shaping of national states in the forms in which we know them today.Joan of Arc marks the full expression of faith in good and proper, faith in the church which no longer follows the tenets properly. Joan fully believe in God and adhere to church rules. She live as "should be" but she meets no support, she meet the stake.On the other hand her military actions are amazing. Maybe that's what people need - hysterical constancy that does not comply with rules, norms and has no tact. I was whole goosebumps when I saw how she used the military facility for seize of the fortress. Definitely what she saw was not entirely reasonable but that was the surprise that brought victory.True story or not, it is a significant example of how different can be views on same issues. About how unclean seems from aside the desire to succeed at all costs and be saved as position, not as person.http://vihrenmitevmovies.blogspot.com/

The film opens terribly with small, fast-scrolling revisionist history in an ersatz medieval script superimposed on a nearly featureless map of a northern coastline, presumably somewhere in Europe. French place names compete for our attention as blood seeps over the obscure territory, presumably representing English invasion. All this when a simple date would tell us as much as we need to know. Then there is a wonderful series of establishing shots, rendering all the previous text unnecessary. Here is medieval agrarian France, here is the title character, here, her conflicted relationships with the Church & God, the ambiguity of what is real, what is visionary. A melange of differing accents alerts us that we are dealing with an ensemble cast. Then John Malkovich, Faye Dunaway, and Dustin Hoffman remind us again. Americans in medieval France...hmmm. Of the three, Dunaway seems the most at home in her role. Hoffman...does anyone ever forget he is watching Hoffman? Jack Crabb is the last role I saw as a character and not Hoffman-in-a-role. My point isn't to disparage his acting, but that the casting director has placed too-high-profile actors in supporting roles. With Hoffman, the question is never what will the character do next, but rather, what will Hoffman do with the character. Milla is nearly perfect for the part - wild eyed volatile delusional virginal zealot, not much different from her roles in other films (Fifth Element). But one almost waits for her to go off on a rant in Ukrainian. Has a French actress ever played this role in an English language film? I liked the props and most of the sets. Much of the photography is beautiful, but there is a visually disturbing lack of roads leading to some of the castles. And in the end, the story runs down without reaching a memorable conclusion. Or maybe I dozed off.
