Outlaw King

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Muddy and bloody to a fault, Outlaw King doesn't skimp on the medieval battle scenes, but tends to lose track of the fact-based legend at the heart of its story.

Despite a dynamic performance by Chris Pine, the film has a rote "been there, done that" quality that will be hard to vanquish. Go to Full Review

Outlaw King might be summarized as one big lapse in good sense for David Mackenzie. Go to Full Review

For what it is, Outlaw King is plenty entertaining, with a hint of humanity in Robert and Elizabeth's courtship. Go to Full Review

3/5
Outlaw King is occasionally frustrating, as its shortcomings prevent it from being a potentially great film. Thankfully, the pros outweigh the cons just enough for me to recommend it. Go to Full Review

B+
The film lifts itself and has great technical and production design, great lead performances, and a story that while familiar, is a much better representation of the same story we have gotten before. Go to Full Review

Apr 6, 2019 Not my cup of tea! The film director did Pine his alter ego gray beard including. A youngish man seemed a good distance for more than 50 years old. Pine starred without passion like doing a favor for a friend! I have the feeling that the film wasn't his cup of tea either! The film changed the old man's wet day dream. The queen was a beautiful young woman. Pine gray beard to highlight the age difference so that he seemed downright pedophile. The wedding night was awkward to watch. My sympathy to the young women who end up sleeping with the old man's alter ego! Half star to landscapes in the movie. Half star to performance in the movie. The actors do their best to. It was not enough to replace the Pine lack of passion in this old man's wet day dream movie! See more
George P Apr 4, 2019 An accurate depiction of the Late Medieval world, with a stellar attention to customs and aesthetics.
Mar 23, 2019 i loved the cinematography, there was this maybe 9 minute one shot, dynamic, alive, precise, just loved it, story and acting more than decent, loved to see all those game of throne actors again in one place, and the medieval feel was on the spot! watch this movie! See more
Mar 17, 2019 It just didnt land for me. I mean it has uninteresting vharacters boring and bland scenes And i think it should have had more emotion in the action scenes, lets say; if his father didnt die in a weird way and if you could see he was very sad about it. The charcter would already be more interesting because. You as a watcher pety for him and u care more about the character the action scenes would have been way more thrilling because you really want him to win then and you are way more invested. I think that small of a thing could have changed the whole movie.but there are also many other flaws for me in this movie. See more
Luke R Mar 9, 2019 Pretty accurate to history except for a certain scene in the ports which won't be named.
Ron S Mar 9, 2019 Enjoyable, better than I expected.
