Very, slow, boring, too few action, bad directing and bad acting. Waste of time, especially for Kingsley and Pryce.

A clumsy adaptation of the folk tale, making it seem overly long and tedious. Its 21st century influences give us heroic sword wielding women, truly psychopathic baddies, peculiar choreographed bonding rituals, over familiar rallying speeches and little understanding of the history of the time and region. It's poorly scripted and has one or two dodgy acting performances. In fact I got the impression some of the actors couldn't bring themselves to believe in their characters sufficiently to deliver their lines with any real depth or feeling. It also has Ben Kingsley wearing a golden eye patch with an eye on it! But, if you like good battling evil (many times), suffering innocents leading to ultimate vengeance, and of course, the legendary apple shot, you'll enjoy it.

It's a great story line just the action isn't that great, and seems like they will have 2nd run up.

Toller Film. Gute Schauspielerei, schöne Landschaft. In der Entwicklung der Geschichte waren 15-20 Minuten nicht genug (manchmal springen Ereignisse sehr), es gibt solche Filmfehler wie ein Schrei 10 Meter von einer Person, die vorgibt, ihn nicht zu hören)) Das Ende deutet eindeutig auf eine Fortsetzung hin, obwohl ich es nicht tun sollte.

Absolutely watch this film!!!! So entertaining and well done. A cool way to bring a folk story to life. Claes Bang cooks.

This is far from good. From beginning to end this was so predictable it was hard to watch and the lines some of the actors had to read came across as childish. No, the director also the writer made a mess of it trying to mix Shakespeare with Ivanhoe from the sixties. And why o why throwing in all that middle eastern vibe, a character of a mix between bin laden and jezus and those pitbulls in medieval Switserland? And you know a half hour before, do not go near the pole with the helmet on and do not plot in the open square. And there was a shortage of people to give you a feel of a massive army. All those small negatives combined with the biggest negative namely the writing and B-acting gives this flick a rushed feel with a limited budget. Claes Bang and Ben Kingsley did their usual stuff but Nick Hamm wrote poorely. And we all know that no acting can save a bad script.

Thoroughly enjoyed this movie! If this is your genre, definitely check it out!

A delightfully old school romp, reminiscent of those historical action adventures that were so popular in the '90s. Some stellar performances and lavish cinematography raises William Tell above the competition.

A rip-roaring epic adventure. Beautifully shot with some superb performances across the board. Thoroughly recommend!

This film was my perfect popcorn Saturday night. The medieval world was incredibly well shot and brought to life a tale that I knew very little about - a true Robinhood meets Braveheart drama. And the acting! Never have a loved a baddy as much as Conor Swindells! Nick Hamm's tone and execution is modern but also a throw back to western type movies. The story line is simple but the layers of the characters keeps it fresh. And the pace was perfect. Loved it!

Childhood stories brought to life and filled in with history in background. To put up a fight is worth the effort

This film was a respectable B movie good actors let down by some of the main leads and script in parts, it just didn’t quite gel. If it had been given to & say directed by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patellière, who gave us the gorgeous 2024 Count of Monte Cristo it could have been a powerful & beautiful film. Or alternatively it could have gone the way of an ‘all action’ film Directed by someone like Tony Scott. A thrill a minute. It was neither of these & therefore fell short & was patchy. Worth a watch when streamed.
