I enjoyed watching this movie. It is well made with an interesting script and good acting performances. Kiera Knightly, especially, is wonderful to watch.
Scriptwise it is fairly formulaic. Basic themes are: teenage coming of age, taking responsibility and the danger of the misuse of power.
The thing that really grated was the scriptwriters wilful lack of knowledge of the powers of English kings.
Watch it, it's amusing entertainment but of little enduring value.
