In the year 1215, the rebel barons of England have forced their despised King John to put his royal seal on the Magna Carta, a seminal document that upheld the rights of free men. Yet within months of pledging himself to the great charter, the King reneged on his word and assembled a mercenary army on the south coast of England with the intention of bringing the barons and the country back under his tyrannical rule. Barring his way stood the mighty Rochester castle, a place that would become the symbol of the rebel's momentous struggle for justice and freedom.

Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Ironclad is as weighed-down as it sounds.

fresh:
This English sword-battle drama is a mess. But there's a violent simplicity and a lack of pretentiousness that's refreshing.

rotten:
The problem is that the movie is only swords and stage blood. The suits of armor are all empty.

As a critic who complains about painless and brainless action movies, I hoist a glass of mead to the men and maidens of "Ironclad."

rotten:
The loud, closely photographed limb-hacking becomes as monotonous as the movie's unrelentingly gray palette.
