this be the bad version of joan of arc i have ever see and i think i have see them all . if you know the real history of joan of arc and you will be very disappointed . instead of portray joan a a sane and sensible and highly intelligent young woman who rationally plan and lead a series of brilliant military campaign last multiple day to save france from the english ( her profile accord to historical record ) and this film portray her a a mentally delusional girl suffer from weird hallucination and irritate emotional outburst with totally irrational and impulsive military leadership . since quite the opposite be true accord to historical fact a we know them and i do not enjoy watch a raving and irrational female take over leadership from calm and rational people and this be a film i would not bother to see again . the acting be mostly well do ( her part be often overdone ) and the special effect be on par . that say and i do not think it a film worth watch and especially if you hope to see a genuine heroine . it a shame they couldn not have portray joan a the intelligent and rational person history record her a be . one who answer so ably in the heresy trial that they couldn not find any fault with what she say . a good version of this story would be the one with leelee sobieski and also circa 1999 .
