 Rating:  - Superbly Done Historical DramaFor a period piece about the English Civil War and the role that Oliver Cromwell and King Charles I played in it, this film is excellent. Both Richard Harris and Alec Guiness are perfectly cast as Cromwell and the King respectively and are surrounded by a fine supporting cast. Guiness at times is absolutely spellbinding as a King who slowly realizes that power is slipping from him and his performance is one of the greatest film representations of a Monarch I've ever seen. His trial scene is one of ... Read More Rating: - Little known but a fantastic period pieceOne of my favorite movies of all time. I show it to my 8th grade class in order to explain the foundations of our Revolution and democracy. Movie has terrific acting, costumes and worth battle scenes. AG and RH are beyond good. Makes Cromwell out to be a better man than he probably was but it is before he takes over as "Lord Protector." Rating: - cromwellVery good movie about the English civil war between parliament and the king.Both Richard Harris(Cromwell) and Alec Guiness(Charles) are excellent representing two different views of government.While the king lost the war and his head, the political situation which started the war was never really resolved.

First BIG flaw...Cromwell is shown as a main player at the battle of Edgehill. In the movie, he actually starts the battle because he looses his temper. FACT: Cromwell was NOT at Edgehill. ...

This area of English history is not as well known by Americans as Queen Elizabeth R, Henry the VIII, and others, but it is a part of English history that is taught well in this masterpiece of acting and storytelling. Alex Guinness is excellent as the King who just didn't get it. Don't miss this. |
