Started off well and then went down hill. At least the ending was correct.

I was very disappointed by Eric Serra's music. If it had a great score, it would have been a lot better. Eric Serra makes great music. I don't understand what happened here.

Well. It is a decent watch that is a bit too prolonged. What I just love is the production. Real places and 1000 extras. This will forever be superior to all the cgi in the world. Apparently there are some historic errors, but I don’t think these are a problem at all. It is simply the “source material” that is utterly batshit. During a time of prolonged war suddenly a jung lass joins the stage, stating that she is a messenger of god and he basically said “full solidarity, je suis Français”, so she leads the forces to victory against evil Englishmen. Right. Catholicism is so unhinged.

Gritty and impassioned, _The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc_ is a powerful historical epic from director Luc Besson. During England’s occupation of France during the Hundred Years’ War a young maiden named Joan, who claims to have received visions from God, petitions the Dauphin of France to give her an army to drive out the English. The film does an excellent job at showing the conflict within Joan as she’s swept up in the fever of war but struggles to remain righteous. And the violence of is especially brutal and quite graphic, giving a real authentic feel to the warfare of the time. Also, the performances by Milla Jovovich and Dustin Hoffman are extraordinary. Additionally, score is remarkably well-done and really complements the tone of the film. _The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc_ is a thrilling and provocative biopic that provides new insight into a fascinating historical figure.
