I saw this film today and I loved it. Better than a lot of the bigger budget releases. I even noticed Marshall had riveted maille due to my friends high def TV. Didn't like the woad or paganism on the Danes though, that felt totally out of place. But the film was brutal and very dark, almost like something I'd direct. Also liked how the armor actually worked, Marshall got hit multiple times (once even by the big axe) but his maille and coat of plates actually held together and protected him. I also thought the scene where he donned his great helm and coif and used the flail was just plain awesome, he got beaten up after being knocked off the horse but still kicked major ass and I liked how the armor protected him. That was practically the only way to beat a fully armored knight, knock him on the ground and beat him to death. I now want to get a great helm I thought it looked so badass.
