Review of Ivanhoe

Ivanhoe (1982 TV Movie)
2/10
Claptrap!
25 April 2020
Really only for kids who haven't yet learned their History. Richard 1 spoke NO English. He despised England which is way he spent so little time here, a soldier who wanted to fight. He was NOT a Christian but a Catholic, as indeed were most of the UK at the time. Perhaps I should have called my review "Kill a Jew anyone?" which really should be the subtitle of this film. Throughout, the "Christians" (who should be referred to as "Catholics" are nothing short of murdering thugs who can kill, rape and pillage for their own good pleasure and enjoy the slaughter of anyone Jewish as part of their allegiance to their faith. This isn't remotely close to the events of the time, as depicted in this version with Richard as a soldier wanting to unite his country - completely untrue or "claptrap" and not worthy of anyones time
