Historical TV miniseries - 2eblue
Keep in mind this is a historical TV miniseries. It is not a Hollywood feature so despite a star- studded cast it is not a blockbuster. It is entertaining and educational but it is not a masterpiece. A lot more drawn-out slow motion battle scenes than necessary to make the point but otherwise a look at one of the greatest female heroines in history.Avoid - Bogart
The acting was poor. Leelee was the wrong choice for this role. Hard to imagine her as a school teacher, never mind a warrior-hero. The script was worse. The picture quality was after-school-movie quality. It is unforunatel since it is a great topic. This is definitely something to avoid.Awful Movie - hilkayaker
Acting ok, but definately not great. Special effects were awful, her "talking" with St Catherine was so corny and stupid we all burst out laughing when the light came down. I like Leelee Sobieski, but even I just couldn't handle this movie. I do not think it is worth watching over and over again, and I love movies and that's what I like to do. I've seen it twice in 10 years and I think that is too much!
