Review of Westender

Having quite an extensive collection of medieval and quasi-medieval movies, i was awed that a movie this good has escaped my attention. No, it is not a great movie but, it is what it is, a really, really good fantasy movie. The costumes were above average, compared to most of the drek that Hollywood has put out. (some of which were purported to be historical epics.) I was very impressed with the armor. The chainmail was real, as opposed to the "chainmail-ish fabric" that is so popular with most big budget movies. HEY Hollywood: if you have a "big budget", spend less on stars and their egos and more on costuming and voice coaching for actors that think just because they are Huge mega-stars that they can speak the way they do normally. This is fine if you are playing yourself, guys but, at least try to help me suspend disbelief.

I would say that if you enjoy fantasy/medieval movies, and do not care whether or not it has a "big name star" in it, you will enjoy this movie.
