Talk:Ironclad (film)

Cast

/Film reported that there was significant recasting for this film.[1] I've removed the cast listing based on the Screen Daily/Imdb listing and replaced it with what is verifiable in a recent article. dissolve^talk 18:04, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Fictional ending

"The plot is fictional insofar as its ending does not correpond to reality.[5]"

Anyone know what this refers to, specifically? There were several elements to the ending but none that I could point to as being the one that is provably fictional? — Preceding unsigned comment added by RangerFish (talk • contribs) 22:09, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Well, for a start John won the siege and the rebels were hauled off and imprisoned, including Albaney (who in the film had his hands and feet chopped off). As for the rest of it, the French never did come to save them and John controlled South England. The French arrived the year after the siege, some six months or more after it had ended.

Who's Isabel?

Okay, I know she's the obligatory love interest, played by the exquisite Kate Mara, but she just shows up in the middle of the plot synopsis without any introduction. "Marshall finally succumbs to Isabel's advances"--what advances? They were not previously mentioned, nor do we know what Isabel is doing there, or who she is. I haven't seen the movie, but this strikes me as a case of clumsy editing. You need at least once sentence to establish this character, prior to saying she's managed to seduce the (very lucky) protagonist.Xfpisher (talk) 19:56, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Plot explanations

1. not three years but more than three years

2. not equal rights but "rights and privileges of all free men" not the limitations of the monarchy

3. strategic stronghold is important so to say so is just plan redundant.

4. in medieval military technology can there ever not be "makeshift" weaponry when made from the same stuff as all the other trebuchets of the time but from what was not originally intended to be made in to such weaponry? "Makeshift" is a value put upon it by us not the castle defenders or when King John. He called it an "engine" although of John's time "engin" pertained to family rather than machinery, the latter which was first used in the 1860s.

5. "tunnel" never used in movie, only "mine".66.74.176.59 (talk) 05:42, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
