Romans wearing Renaissance clothing gives you a good idea of what to expect.
Exactly.
Kinda like seeing those 16th century cavalry helmets on "saxon soldiers" in Vikings. Ruined the whole show for me. lol
Yeh shit gonna be crap and probably dumb pandering too, hope they don’t do Boudicca dirty
No doubt there will be a couple of Chinese warriors as well a a sprinkling of Zulus...
do they know they lost at the end and she died a bit later ?
As an historian and former professor of Celtic culture, just watching the trailer I'm seeing things portrayed that absolutely did NOT happen to her. One example: she was never strung up and whipped. Whipping was reserved for men, particularly those who led. To whip her was to elevate her to the status of a man - something Rome would never do. She was tied to a post and beaten with their fists. Also, she was NEVER branded - also something reserved for male enemies. After being beaten, she was forced to watch as her two daughters were gang raped by the soldiers in front of her. This looks like a complete mess. So much for actual history.
Doesn't really matter dude 95% of her story is just speculation anyways. At this point she's just as "real" as King Arthur.
@@athena8534strange to compare a legendary figure who's existence is still debated to an actual historical figure who was written about and evidentially existed
I’ve seen this film. In the Netflix description it states that the film is “inspired by historical events”, which is code for ‘’Fuck the historical authors, we’ve decided to make it all up”. The flying magic sword and Nero’s death were the most egregious moments of the film, but not the only ones. The Battle off Watling Street is crap. No huge armies, no bottle neck in an otherwise fairly open area, no Britons in the baggage train watching at the back of Boudicca’s lines, no impressive hoard of battle chariots, it’s basically a small skirmish in some random woodland with about 2 chariots they can’t use, because woodland… Did I mention the magic flying bronze sword? 😂🤣
You forgot about she mentions about being the queen of the Saxon Britons 😂
@@alynwillams4297 Given the territory of the Iceni was settled by the Angles and not the Saxons, hence East Anglia, that's about as dumb as it gets if she said that in the film. Afterall, it was the Saxons who agreed to use the Anglian identity giving England and the English. This film just fails on so many levels.
@@damionkeeling3103 oh it’s a terrible film. Don’t get me wrong I realise that sometimes history in films is never 100% correct, but it’s like they never even bothered to research or even try for this. From the massacre on Anglesey making out that the druids believed in a prophecy of a warrior queen called boudica who will free the Britons,so they were happy to be slaughtered without putting up a fight. the moment she says she is the queen of the Saxon Britons, to the fucking bronze magical sword that broke, then somehow was repaired magically underwater and then flys into her hand out of nowhere while confronting a Roman soldier 😂
You do know large battles were far and between right most of her engagement were small numbers her tribe was one of the bigger ones but you still need to outfit a army to fight and feed it most rulers at the time would have maybe 10 to 20 hard core warriors the rest of their forces would be taken from the population witch Rome controlled half of
@@seanbraley2772 But if you read the classical authors Cassius Dio and Tacitus’ accounts, her army was a collective of tribes, and was such a large force that it was capable of destroying entire legions. Her force was so large that the Romans had to take advantage of bottlenecking the Briton army at Wattling Street to better their odds of winning the battle. It was, by all accounts, a massive force of 200,000+.
"My armor does nothing!"
"Our formations do nothing!"
and now, brand new:
"My carnyx sounds like a dremel!"
16% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. That's a shame. Boudica deserves a proper telling of her story.
When the audience rating is that low its got to be really bad!
Yeah, it's a heck of a story and about as nasty as the Romans got. I seem to recall that she came pretty close to pulling it off. History would be very different if she had.
@@mikebreeden6071 didn't even come close lol, she is great at sacking civilians. Loss everyone in her family. Not sure if that is a pull off, but great to see a female leader.
You know you cant trust Rotten Tomatoes ratings nowadays right?
She lost but she did change the course of history. She completely destroyed the romans capital city Colchester as well as London. When they rebuilt they made London the capital. So London as we know it wouldn’t exist without Bouddica. Colchester would probably still be the capital city and would be much bigger. London would be much smaller.
Cool! I just watched the whole movie in two and a half minutes.
I was expecting half the Brits to be cast as black. A blessed relief.
No kidding lol typical historic revision I read no history books past 1960
I don’t think Celtic have black people in they tribe that I know Vikings yes have black cause dna study’s confirm that ….
😂
😂😂😂😂
This meme is kinda old now bro
Olga Kurylenko is one of my favorite actresses - I have to watch this one!
I'm trying to think of a Roman show or movie that Netflix has done where the Romans don't get their ass handed to them. Who hurt you Netflix????
after 2000 years they are still frustrating about that hahaha
Spoilers: In this, they don't
Oh i know they don't in the end - it's more that Netflix seem to love glorifying anytime the Romans get beat, whether then win in the end or not@@marks2516
Lol. This movie will never show aftermath of Paulinus so thoroughly and brutally punishing the Britons that Nero (!) had to tell him to stop. They probably won't do a miniseries showing how Germanicus got back the standards of the lost legions and how Arminius died in Antioch poisoned by his own people.
It's probably as much a case of wanting to do an underdog story, David v Goliath.
I'm just going to give you a few samples demonstrating the awfulness of the dialogue: Boudica's daughters are learning Latin so that they can "navigate the future"; Boudica is off to a "cosmetics session", where she learns that excess hair is "not at all fashionable this season"; she then heads "outside roman security lines" (this is just in the first few minutes. I couldn't bear to extend my suffering). There, she comes across someone who has been crucified, whom her nanny and daughters recognise as being a "Christian" - about a hundred and fifty years before anyone in Britain had heard of Christianity. Jeez.
Yes, it's full of historical howlers. So is braveheart mind, but that at least was a big budget well directed movie. Boudacia's tribe seems to consist of about 14 people, her daughters are now murdered early on, she has a magic sword, nor does she die in battle according to the sources.
I still think it's better than the 2003 version but barely.
I don't object to the line about the latest season of fashion though, roman women were pretty aware we think of which hairstyles were in and which weren't, they used lots of hairpins, busts show how fashion changed over time. Rome was quite successful at culturally influencing its neighbours too.
I didn't object to the cosmetics per se, but to the glib contemporary language. For example, Celtic men no doubt greeted each other, but I'd be appalled if a character were to say to another, "hey, bro, how's it hangin'?" P S Braveheart is an awful movie, don't get me started@@lw3646
@@grahamgilbert4883 the best historic movies usually find a way of striking a balance between making the dialogue sound authentic but intelligible. If you go back and read some 14th century English it's extremely difficult and unnatural sounding to read aloud, but a film like Beckett or Robin and Marion does a decent job at finding a good compromise.
The Scott's had more Christian falling than Catholics... the Catholics were not true Chistians then or now. They follow their own traditions. They persecuted real Christians during the Dark Ages.
Well her daughters would learn Latin lol. She and her husband Prasutagus spoke it as did the whole tribe. Prasutagus had been trading amicably with the Romans for a couple decades already. Most of Britton did. There were Romans living on the land conducting commerce. It wasn’t until her husband died did things go wrong for the Iceni tribe. But by that time Caradoc was already guerrilla fighting the Romans for a few years. He did a much better job too. Boudicca only fought for one season. She couldn’t command loyalty from the tribes like Caradoc did.
This is revisionist history. The BBC informed us both the native Britons and invading Romans were black.
This is hella white washed honestly
The Big Black Rooster?
@@Boudicaisback Whitewashed ?? Are you seriously saying the Britons and Romans should NOT be white ???!!!
and actually the real hero of this story is Gaio Svetonio Paolino, he tactically smash Boudica's hordes...
@@TomasFunes-rt8rd well all know blacks we're truly dominant in Europe during that time
I suspect this film was shot in someone's backyard.
why are Boudicas daughters indian when her husband is a white Celt?
How has no one made a good movie about her yet. A proper, mind blowing budget, well researched movie. I mean, I get it...there can be issue separating fact from legend, but she was the real deal. We end up with one bad low budget movie after another about her. But there has never been a well written script with good talent behind it, nor a decent budget or good direction. Particularly awful in this trailer is the sound editing. I initially wrote that off as probably the computer I was watching it on, but then watched another movie trailer which has amazing sound. This feels like a production for TV from like 1992.
Have you ever read Manda Scott's Boudicca? If I were ever given the honor to adapt that into something, I would never complain about anything else in my life.
@@nemain_morgaine4151 I haven't, but will now. Happen to be looking for a good read. Thanks!
Oh absolutely sorry chipping in here but Manda Scott's novels are epic. Now if someone had the budget to get them into a film hmm. @@nemain_morgaine4151
The best one is probably Hammer's Viking Queen but that is pretty average.
The 2003 version is unwatchable.
Olga Kurylenko was out of place in CENTURIAN and she's out of place in this. When will there be a FIRST CLASS production about one of the most famous Warrior-Queen in human history? I know it's not impossible. Every time a movie is made about BOUDICA it's always the same... "inspired by true events" and then bumped down into Bad Fantasy graveyard.
The 2003 version is terrible.
Viking Queen?
@@lw3646 I'd like to see real history for Boudica. Can you imagine what David Lean could have done with this story? Nothing is stopping a young filmmaker from trying. Money can be raised if the right one comes along. A good version of the Iceni War can be a classic.
Why has this film so utterly underrated by mainstream media? Strange.
Audio quality straight from the 90s :D
I've always wanted to see a good Boudica film. This doesn't look like it.
The best one is probably Viking Queen and even that is pretty average.
Good Lord, does Olga ever age?
Like fine wine 🍷 she ages.
Une femme d'un extraordinaire courage qui a fait ce qu'elle a pu avec les armes qu'elle avait à sa disposition et avec ces hommes, ces alliés, prêts à en découdre face à l'envahisseur. Malgré une grande détermination ces hommes prêts à la suivre, manquaient de cohésion entre eux.
Elle a été maintes fois trahie par ses proches qui subissaient la pression des romains. Elle savait qu'elle prenait un risque... elle avait conscience qu'elle emmenait avec elle des familles entières vers une ultime bataille et qu'elle ne pourrait plus faire marche arrière. Elle s'en est remis aux anciens et aux dieux.
La terre de ses ancêtres qu'elle cherissait, les us et coutumes devaient être préservés absolument et transmis aux futures générations. Elle était effrayée à l'idée de mourir mais plus encore de subir le joug des romains. J'imagine que cette femme détenait une grande force en elle mais aussi une grande sensibilité. Elle était aimée autant que redoutée car elle avait des hommes de mains.
C'est étonnant, lorsque je pense à elle, je vois toujours des corbeaux.
Comme s'ils étaient observés...et qu'ils étaient decrypté comme nous pourrions décrypter un oracle. La mer déchaînée avec beaucoup de vent et une côte très découpée comme une falaise.
Étrange comme cette femme me touche... À chaque fois que je pense à elle je me mets à pleurer.
Je ressens une profonde injustice et une indignation très forte.
Pour moi, elle a sous-estimé la stratégie romaine et leur capacité à soudoyer des hommes en contrepartie de richesses et de pouvoir.
C'était une reine et personne ne pouvait la détrôner de sa souveraineté hormis les dieux.
If I spoke French, I'd probably agree with what you said. And it appears that you had a 𝘭𝘰𝘵 to say! 😁 Merci, mon ami. 👍
Où venez-vous?
@zwastiunburzy3688 you don't have the option to translate?
CZcams for some reason translates sporadically. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. So I took a screenshot of your comments, well, two screenshots actually, you had a lot to say! And then I used my translation app to be able to read what you said. Very poetic, by the way! And for some reason the app insisted on naming Boadicea as "Elle"! But I totally agree with your comments, she was incredibly brave, and I believe what they did to her daughters had much to do with her fury and need for revenge. She did very well, but as you said, eventually the might and wealth, and their ability to "buy" people, allowed the Romans to vanquish even her.
@@douceange Okay. It took me a while to decipher and translate your comments, nevertheless, I found them to be very interesting indeed. You obviously have a love for the antiquities and ancient cultures, I do also. But what I found is that I had to basically unlearn what they had taught in the "history" classes in school, which was mostly lies and suppositions, and then do my own research through ancient texts and learn more facts, rather than fairy tales. I researched much ancient Celtic culture, things like the various tribal chiefs and king's and queens, such as Nile of the Nine Hostages, the early beliefs they held, and the things they were shown by the Druidic elders, many of whom took on the role of "school teachers", and educated not only the young children, but adults also. I find this kind of thing fascinating.
Well, they already screwed up. She had flaming red hair. That was one of the reasons she stood out.
Maybe.
The actual events of historical figures and the original source material as written is always better than making it up or changing it. I don't know how long we have to wait to see this change in film and streaming, but apparently longer. It's really too bad as I would have liked a film or series about Boudica, and you'd think the actual story of a strong woman from that long ago would be something someone would wish to tell.
"In stature she was very tall, in appearance most terrifying, in the glance of her eye most fierce, and her voice was harsh; 4 a great mass of the tawniest hair fell to her hips; around her neck was a large golden necklace; and she wore a tunic of divers colours over which a thick mantle was fastened with a brooch. This was her invariable attire. She now grasped a spear to aid her in terrifying all beholders" - Cassius Dio
Though that description was written about 100 years after her death.
The Romans always made their enemies sound fierce and scary, because it made the Roman's crushing them seem all the more impressive.
@@ComicGladiator yes I heard that too. I think though they also wanted to give her some good qualities to contrast with what an awful ruler they saw Nero as.
Imagine a movie about Amanirenas, the African queen that actually drove them back and survived.
Before I watched this movie, I was hopeful that finally someone had made a decent movie about this exciting and legendary Celtic heroine. I tried. I did. I really did. I got about half way through before I urgently had to switch the movie off, because I could literally feel the intelligence in my mind leaking away. Leaking badly, only to be replaced slowly but surely by stupid. Why can't anyone make a proper, factual yet inspiring movie on this subject? This one left the impression that a team of five year old children could've done a better job. Not only were the action scenes cliche, (you could nearly see the buckets filled with fake blood being thrown across the camera's viewfinder), the acting atrocious, which I don't understand, Rollo(Clive Standen) and Olga Kurylenko 𝘤𝘢𝘯 act, I've seen them both do much better than this, the storyline and continuity seemed to have been written and edited by an orangutan high on acid, and directing done by someone who obviously had more important things on their mind. In other words, if you don't want to leave the cinema feeling a good deal more stupid than when you entered, I'd probably go and do something more enjoyable, maybe stick some red hot needles into your eyeballs.
I also tried, and then tried again. I lost it when she said Queen of the Saxons
Damn - bummer, but thanks for the warning. Yeah the trailer gives all indications that whatever it has going for it just falls apart... alas.
Appreciate you saving me the displeasure of watching half of it...
@@justinklenk I reckon there's been at least five or six attempts at making a movie about this Celtic warrior queen, and not one has been remotely watchable. All of them dismal failures. What's the issue, surely it can't be that difficult to make a factual yet dramatic epic movie on this subject?
Seems you know how movie directing works, maybe you should make one and lets see😊
@@ex-soldier4341 I think a five year old child with learning difficulties and a bad case of the hiccups would do a better job. Have you even seen it? Because if you have, and for some strange reason you're defending this embarrassment of a movie, then, if I were you, I'd be having a very stern conversation with myself.🧐
Olga was a Pictish princess in The Eagle❤
I would love in such history-themed movies for the original languages of that era to be spoken.
Yeah that hardly ever happens, unless it's directed by Mel Gibbson. I'm not sure we even know how the Brits would have sounded since they left no written words behind, possibly like Welsh?
Does the film mention how she was totally crushed by Suetonius Paulinus and the Iceni ceased to exist afterwards? Lack of historical reality is fine so long as the fail is badged as fantasy.
Exactly, the only thing she managed to do was slaughter small garrisons, a detachment of a legion and mostly roman settlers in the province, farmers and the like. The moment a semblance of a trained army appeared, she was completely demolished. Not only that, as you point out, the outcome was brutal. She accomplished nothing, so many competent and good leaders, and they chose this...
She was massively over rated, but Netflix are never gonna show a woman getting her ass kicked lol.
The Roman era town of Venta Icenorum would not have been named if the tribe had ceased to exist.
Haven’t watched it but I’m guessing no theirs no reports of her older daughter’s death just her her lover and younger one’s death and wall the tribe officially stoped existing because Rome named there language and name
More then a few tribes claimed kinship with her later when fighting forced the Roman’s to withdraw from Britain
In the film she losses, though mostly to roman archery which is weird. They kill off her two daughters early in the movie though, so in a copy if gladiator she's sort of fine with dying so she can be reunited with her dead family, so of course even in losing they can try and make out she dies happy.
Imo the Celtic people are among the greatest and most fascinating historical people to exist.
Gets more interesting when you learn the anthropology of it & their origins prior to their migration waves west where they settled in Northwestern Iberia before some of that group later moved into Ireland/Scotland/Wales
@@IntroducingMrLucci I’ve been reading that they now think the celts didn’t actually settle in Britain and Ireland. And it was just a culture takeover which stemmed through trade. I think one historian described it like how American culture has been passed into Europe e.g music, food etc but without actual settlement.
May I ask why you feel that way?
@@IntroducingMrLucciWhat were the physical differences between the Celts and the Germans, if there were any?
@alynwillams4297 yeah, I don't think that theory is widely accepted though, the Bettany Hughes series on Britain thinks it was the Celts who introduced farming, there's a prehistoric expert called Francis Pryor who argues against that.
Dónde se puede ver?Muchas gracias
They should really make a movie about Caradoc. He accomplished much more with the resistance by uniting the tribes under the title of Avaragous given by the druids. Boudicca only fought one season picking up where he left off after the Romans captured him. And she did it badly. Don’t know why there’s such hoopla about her. All British tribal women could fight. Caradoc’s wife, daughters and sister fought. Read The Eagle and the Raven for a really good story.
I watched this film because Dominique Vandenberg was in it and was disappointed about how little screen time he had playing and underdeveloped character. He stole every single scene he was in with very little to work with electrifying charisma it's a shame Hollywood doesn't see it
Be nice to get a pro Roman film once in awhile. They do all these movies about resistance movements that lost and their executed.
That's a hard sell. They were colonizers, unwanted for the most part, especially in the early days when the Iceni, lead by Boudicca, revolted with their war host. As the years went by there would have been some intermingling and with it, more acceptance and complexity, but I think you'd be hard-pressed to get people to sympathize with the Romans as they colonized the eff out of Europe, parts of Asia and parts of Africa.
@@laurasosnow7507 "They were colonizers"
Every group was at some point, you problem is with them being good at it.
Not really, or at least, not the same extent. History argues otherwise, especially when you look at groups of people 'within' a polity who disagree about what to do. Being good at subjugating others generally goes hand in hand with it being a cruel form of domination that rightful deserves to be condemned. It is far better to be critical of colonial or imperial projects in general than to accept the practice as justified or as natural, as that is an attitude that, for understandable reasons, is compelling only to those who dominate others. @@ComicGladiator

Enya tem uma música/homenagem "Boadicea"!!
A tragic but fascinating story from Roman Britain.
where can we watch this?
BOUDICA (2023) reminds me of《Centurion》(2010).
Its all fun and games playing with swords until someone puts an eye out. Boucdia started to belief her own press, however it existed at the time. She showed on her final battlefield with a wagon train blocking her retreat. The Roman used their famous battle formation, rotating soldiers in three or four ranks deep. 80 thousand dead Britons later, Boucdia was no more.
Why do movie productions love to hate the Romans? 🍿
Cuz they were invadors and enslavers. That's how they build a successful gigantic empire ( like many others but on a smaller scale, or somewhere else ).
Inspired w.male strength unified scares the goblin power 5th column like shh
Because a lot of cultures have dealt with them and grew to hate them? Do you except a film about the southern Irish set in the early 1900s to love the British...?
@@Kaspar.C0LD There's logic in your thought but it's really not the same. Showing that Barbarians like Boudica as the "good" guys is ridiculus both for history's sake and for the fact that according to your logic, modern English people feel closer to primitive tribes and peoples with who they have almost no cultural or even linguistic connection whatsoever. The only ones who could actually say that Boudica is their kin are the Welsh and maybe the Scottish people. But guess what? Those Romano-Britons who ressisted the invasion of the Angles and the Saxons were actually the ancestors of the Welsh people.
@@byzantinetales You realise that the Britons who resisted the Anglo-Saxons regarded the likes of Caratacus and Cassivellaunos as heroes precisely because those guys fought the Romans. Caradoc and variants became popular for noble sons with the sense of fighting off the invader.
And yeah, Boudicca is the 'good guy' here. The Romans weren't doing anyone favours by invading and massacring the local populations. The end result of Roman occupation was a weak people who were easily defeated by the Anglo-Saxons. The list of Roman massacres in Gaul is legion with entire populations turned into slaves and cities reduced to rubble for generations. The archaeological record in northern England/southern Scotland show a decline in agriculture due to Roman military presence there.

There are 2 or 3 ways tis story goes in British history. I see they are going with the more exciting one.
If it’s done by Netflix Boudicca takes out an entire legion just by herself 😂
Well, I have yet to see a well-made and ACCURATE story of the struggle of our great queen in her attempt to challenge the might of the Roman Empire in what was after all a small and futile effort. But the queen gave them a battle the world did not quite so soon forget, And let's remember her name means VICTORY in the Icini language. She showed them courage and the will to make them remember, And it seems some did. Some day a worthy movie will be made to commemorate her great struggle! Let us HOPE FOR THAT!
I think the producers vastly underestimated just how many people know this story. The huge armies and the unique flat top chariots are not even in the film. Was sadly a very poor production and lacking in the most vidal aspects of her life and battles.
Even the 1960s Viking Queen at least had chariots and a decent number of extras. This could maybe have worked as a TV show but not a film.

Olga was not a good choice to play Boudicca, who was tall, strong, and golden-red haired according to a Roman historian of that era who was in Britannia at the time. Such a missed opportunity. The film was not good and a travesty(perhaps intentionally?) of the true events.
I think that description comes from Cassius Dio who was born about 100 years after she died, so we have to take it with a large pinch of salt.
That the "barbarians" in all these movies always have to run straight for the shield line / wall like lunatics instead of trying to flank the enemy.
In reality though the Brits were brave but disorganised fighters who wore little armour.
Ah yes. Another version of the 'Noble & peaceful natives finally having enough and give the evil Romans a good trashing 'trope. This looks suspiciously similar to the German series Barbarians. Even the native warriors look the same. Cool facial paint. Lot's of leather & mohawks .
Yes, the native brits did spike their hair up though, it's why they didn't west helmets, which was not very wise.

They weren't actually full time soliders though, they would have spent part of the year farming and maybe still hunting.
It was the romans who had a professional paid army with retirement and pensions.
Also it's not thought the Brits wore armour or helmets either. Which again gave the romans the edge. The Brits were great individual fighters but didn't fight with as much discipline.
It's like the native Americans v the US Army in the 1800s.
Not a good movie..sometime it seems like a good introduction of character has started but the next scene it started spiralling downwards..story telling is a bit dull as so the directing..screenplay is boring..someone out there please make a new movie that does gives goosebump and a sense of pride for the viewers and the natives.
Never mind historical events. Fact is that Boudica fought the Romans (w/o success) but the Romans ultimately guaranted peace and stability and brought culture to the land and when they left in 410 AD the population had to resort to German tribes (Saxsons) for protection against the Picts and various other other invaders. Talk about a lost cause ...
Looks like entire movie shot on an iphone 13 with a bunch of community actors.
Even the histoy channel said this lady commited war crime killing old men and children at night, then when rome shows up she rides into battle for about 10 seconds to get butchered.
Her great deeds were finally accomplished by the Goths and Turks.
Why do the Iceni speak Anglo Saxon?
Thats not accurate. My grand mother said: no matter what people tell you, cleopatra..erm boudica was black
Don't forget Achilles and Hannibal......or Anne Boylanne
