The sets and costuming are really accurate to the time period but apart from that it’s just not good.
(I put this on at like 1:30 in the morning and then went to bed so now I finished it.)

I’m a massive Monty Python fan so a lot of humour landed very well for me. That being said, the story wasn’t enough to make this a favourite for me

usually i like movies like this but it just missed the mark by a longshot
it wasn't all that funny, the plot was vague and mismatched and the ending honestly kinda sucked

The dark ages have never been more dusty, damp and amusing. Never quite a full comedy, but every endless misfortune is a joke.
