| Joan with suitably messy hair prepares for battle |
This film started well but rapidly descended into the usual main course these days: a hefty dosage of drawn out battle scenes. In addition compulsory funny bits are thrown in for light relief when the battle scenes become tedious.There is also a gruesome murder, rape scene, in that order, involving a hideous looking soldier and Joan's sister all watched by her. When the soldier finished he then turned to his soldier colleagues and said 'Your turn!'. Yes that's the humour bit. Historically accurate? I doubt it. But it would be an important detail if you were trying to understand Joan's life. From that point on I lost faith in this work to deliver something other than pop-corn entertainment. But I have to say that a lot of the set and photography did look good and at times convincing, unlike Milla Jovovich who should perhaps do a pop song video clip instead.
