William Tell - Less Robin Hood, More Brooding in the Alps

So... I came for arrows and rebellion.I stayed for moody stares and dramatic cloak-swishing. And I left wondering: was this a freedom fighter or a medieval therapist with anger issues?Claes Bang plays William Tell like he's auditioning to be the next Batman - dark, brooding, and emotionally constipated. The man shoots maybe one arrow, but delivers about 947 intense silences. Respect.Ben Kingsley shows up and casually steals every scene with the smug energy of someone who knows this isn't going to win any awards - and doesn't care. Icon.Highlights: Gorgeous Swiss mountains.Enough slow-motion stares to power a shampoo commercial.Historical drama that thinks it's Shakespeare but sometimes feels more like a LARP gone rogue.Lowlights: Pacing so slow, I checked my pulse. Twice.A hero with all the charisma of a wet log.Dialogue so dramatic, it circles back to being hilarious.Bottom line: It's not a bad movie. It's just very committed to being serious... even when it really shouldn't be. Like wearing full armor to a garden party.Watch it with wine. Or snacks. Or while folding laundry. You won't miss much if you blink - or nap.

Stop forcing female roles that aren't realistic

I thought the story was ok but predictable, acting wasn't bad, locations were beautiful. But Hollywood has to stop forcing multiple females into these battle scenes. It's laughable, just like the Disney run of Star Wars (which already had historically great female characters) Stop forcing this, especially in historical pieces that aren't accurate.

Entertaining take on a traditional tale

I found this historical drama enjoyable enough, if of highly questionable historical accuracy. The anachronistic role of women and the racial diversity of the cast is forced, very distracting, provides an unnecessary backstory to the lead character and thereby detracts from the power of the story telling. The CGI, particularly in the water-borne scenes, is poor because it is not that well done, too noticeable and in most cases unnecessary. The film makers should instead have allowed the mountain scenery to work the magic. It is really beautiful although it is not authentically Swiss (the end credits reveal it was filmed in the Italian Tyrol). The violence and the battle scenes are handled competently. Look out for a leg being detached with a scythe and a genuinely stomach-churning and realistically portrayed through-the-eye stabbing. The famous shooting the apple scene comes about half way through and seems a bit incidental to the screenplay, perhaps inserted only because audiences will expect it. All in all, there's plenty to criticize but enough positive points to make it worth watching. The end scenes set up a sequel but actually make this film end awkwardly.
