Ironclad Ratings & Reviews
Detroit News
Tom Long
Ironclad is as weighed-down as it sounds.
Film Journal International
Maitland McDonagh
Like Takashii Miike's 13 Assassins, Ironclad takes a familiar genre-the historical action picture-and colors it blood-red.
Boxoffice Magazine
Wade Major
Casting is almost uniformly first rate with Cox, Purefoy and the always brilliant Giamatti providing noteworthy standouts.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
As a critic who complains about painless and brainless action movies, I hoist a glass of mead to the men and maidens of "Ironclad."
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
The loud, closely photographed limb-hacking becomes as monotonous as the movie's unrelentingly gray palette.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
A gore-filled guilty pleasure...
eFilmCritic.com
Erik Childress
A certain bloody matinee charm to it, if your idea of charm is brutally graphic combat scenes and well-known faces hamming it up in the downtime between.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
The core fan base of this English sword battle drama will pay for the boundary-pushing blood and gore. Why bore them with things like plot and context and production values?
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
The action is cluttered and the story overly compressed, with a lot of yammering about who's aligned with whom and why (no wonder Mr. Giamatti's eyes keep rolling) in between the geysers of red.
Seattle Times
Jeff Shannon
Through it all, Paul Giamatti spits bilious fury as a ruthless king with a mile-wide mean streak and an army of Danish mercenaries. What's not to like?
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
As history it's bunk; as inappropriate historical fiction, it's awfully close to comedy.
Metromix.com
Geoff Berkshire
Fetishizes the various ways in which men can be skewered by medieval weaponry
BrianOrndorf.com
Brian Orndorf
It's overlong, but Ironclad provides a righteous jolt, working as a gritty work of period recreation and as a sword-swinging marathon of squirting blood and flying severed limbs.
AV Club
Sam Adams
Unfortunately, a narrative needs characters as well as plot, and that's where Ironclad falls off its horse.
IFC.com
Matt Singer
When they named 'em the Dark Ages, brother, they weren't kidding.
Associated Press
Jake Coyle
An utterly joyless exercise in blood and dirt.
Village Voice
Nick Pinkerton
While Ironclad captures the casual cruelty and flesh-and-bone violence of the 13th century, it fails to do the same in the more intimate material set in the downtime between assaults.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Like most of Ridley Scott's medieval adventures, the film subscribes to such a stark good-versus-evil setup that it's devoid of any nuance or suspense.
The Hollywood Reporter
Ray Bennett
Medieval history lesson with lots of shattered bodies and splattered limbs.
Variety
Leslie Felperin
Ironclad might be the perfect actioner for gorehound fanboys gaga for medieval trappings, but all others may find this British-American-German co-production a bit of a drag.
