Watching Timeline

This shitty movie is on, based on a book I read that I got for Christmas ages ago. It wasn't a very good book, but the movie doesn't even have the book's limited charms. The book's main thing was constantly telling you that the Middle Ages were In Your Face and everyone was Badass.

The movie's Middle Ages, on the other hand, is neither. It's pretty typical in everything from the slow, "OMG this sword is heavy!" fight choreography to everybody speaking impeccable modern English (or French) and not behaving in the bizarre ways someone from an utterly alien culture does.

Oh shit, the guy commanding the archers just said "fire."
