5.0 out of 5 stars
Family Film, June 7, 2006
This is a great movie! The movie trys to show what may have happened before the Ivanhoe book. How Ivanhoe met and fell in love with Rowena. Why Rowena really came to be at the caste. When Ivanhoe first met King Richard. Do not go into this movie to compare it to the Ivanhoe book or movie, but to see it on it's own merits. The movie takes place when Ivanhoe looks to be about 17 to 20, so he's young(and I think cute!).
This movie has action, sword fighting, and even the Black Knight. In this movie the black knight is not the king, but a loyal subject who helps the people. There is fighting, but no blood, gore, or guts so it's more kid friendly. There are a couple of scenes where a knife is thrown into a person, but no blood.
This movie also has romance. If you're like me and believe or are at least willing to go along with the love-at-first-sight aspect of the movie, then you'll love that part. But, if you're like my dad, then you'll think that it's a sappy, unrealistic story, since they're only together a day or so and already proclaiming their undieing love for each other.
I personally encourage all you romantics out there, who like some action and even sword fighting, to watch this movie.
