What a wonderful concept for a movie - Boudica, Warrior queen of the Iceni tribe.
Unfortunately, this interpretation is horrible, and does no justice to such a major event in British history.
The script is the first target. Whoever wrote it must have been watching too much 'Zena - Warrior Princess' and 'Highlander'. Numerous overly dramatic taglines and speeches with a very odd take on historical fact.
Next is the acting - too much of it! All of the characters seem to be portrayed as some kind of poor man's Shakespearian overly intense hyper maniacs.
Alex Kingston is the wrong choice for the character of Boudica. Although she may be a decent actress, this role/script/production is not for her.
So, overall this is not a film I would ever want to watch again.
