The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

A decent movie, good solid cast and acting, OK action, a nice cliche hero, a classic story, worth watching. For me they ruined it all by making it a romance.

What a waste, they should use a steady camera in fight scenes, after 10 minutes of unstable handheld movements I was dizzy and had to turn it off,
a pity because the ordinary moments were good, but also in the quiet parts
also unnecessary camera movements, I hope it will not become a trend.
also the story and acting where good,
But because of the iritant camera movements, the film has a low score from me.

This film is typical example of what is wrong in modern cinema. If it had been made in 1950's, it would have been impressive, gorgeously photographed Technicolor spectacle with clean clothes and dialogue, no gore and zero realism. Made in 2011, Ironclad looks drab and boring, with gore, dirt and foul language, because Realism, but historical accuracy is STILL thrown out of the window, because that's too much realism. In one scene main villain orders the herd of pigs burned alive - it didn't actually happen but THIS IS MACHO FLICK FOR MANLY MEN, DAMMIT! Add clichéd script and miscast Kate Mara as medieval female warrior a'la Jeanne D 'Arc, and the result, shall we say, is not overtly impressive.

This is definitely not a chick flick. If Braveheart and 300 are some of your favorite flicks, you'll be adding Ironclad to your list. Look, neither Braveheart nor 300 were completely accurate. Sometimes, the screenwriter needs a little leeway, and this film does just that. We watch, we enjoy, we forgive.However, the script is well written. The film is well directed and extraordinarily well acted.You really do get the sense of the squalid, brutal conditions humans endured in medieval times. You also get a solid sense of mankind's ability for atrocity during the "dark ages."What you also get is a series of very gory battle action scenes, a despicable villain, the tale of a man torn by his calling, and a little bit of a love story thrown in to boot. What's not to like, here?Find time to watch this one. You won't be disappointed.
