Summary: Eck! Glam Trash - Ishtar in France
Review: Never have I been so disappointed by a movie. Joan of Arc - France's patron saint - a real-life person, portrayed like a super hero. It might have worked better if they'd added the cartoon 'Sock' , 'Bam', and 'Pow' during fight scenes. All I can tell you is AFTER seeing this, I happened to catch "The Passion of Joan of Arc" on Turner Classic Movies, and thought it was a contemporary film. I was shocked to learn the film was done in 1928! So my advice is to leave this 'glam trash Fishtar' version on the shelf, and buy the REAL DEAL instead - "The Passion of Joan of Arc" (1928). .

Summary: GREAT MOVIE
Review: I'm not sure why people have been giving this movie such low ratings. I highly recommend the DVD version. The artistic effects were absolutely brilliant! Although the story tends to drag on at times and the acting could have been better, I believe it is worth watching. I'd rent it before buying it.

Summary: DVD review & differences between International & US versions
Review: Let me say that I like the movie and Jovovich's performance. The film is also more historically accurate to Joan life then the TV series with Sobieski. You aren't reading this to hear if you want to see the movie, but if you want to buy the DVD, so I'll review the DVD and this International version which is different from the American version shown in theaters. The picture quality is good especially the battle scenes and landscapes although in somewhat dim scenes the background did not have a lot definition which I don't remember from the theater. The sound quality was fine. I'll break down the difference from the International version with the American theater release version one by one and my own take them. 2:30 minutes was added to the scene where the Dauphin chooses who will be the impostor. This is a good addition because it introduces the characters that will be Joan's captains in the following battles. A single line, where Joan tells the Dauphin her message. I didn't like this because the Dauphin never told anyone what Joan said to him to make him believe in her. The American version left this a mystery too. 7 minutes (a whole chapter, 3 scenes) was added right after the private audience where various officials examine and interview Joan. I liked this because historically this is what happened, although I don't agree about how it was done, a bit ridiculous, and it could have been cut in half. A few lines here and there that I don't remember, particularly during the battle scenes that made the battles seem a little bit less intense. For example, "Do something!" "What do you want me to do?" "I don't care, just do something!" which are lines I don't remember, but I could be wrong. None-the-less some parts of the battles seemed less intense to me from what I remember. I may be mistaken, but there seemed to be some deleted scenes too. The trial seemed shorter in the International version, which makes sense considering Americans love of the TV trial a la O.J. Simpson; they would have made it longer. I also think the lines where Joan screams out "Jesus!" were deleted which I didn't care for because it was reported that she did scream out his name. The final burning scene seemed rather abrupt. I could have sworn they had a scene where they brought her out, tied her down, and read the charges before burning her. I'd definitely buy this DVD if you like the movie. It would have been nice to get both versions of the film on this DVD much like they did for the Abyss. If you are interested in learning more about her, "Joan of Arc: Her Story" by Regine Pernoud is an excellent book as well.

Summary: Shame on you, Luc!
Review: 8 out of 10 for technos; 3 out of 10 for drama; 1 out of 10 for history. Besson's Joan is a raving vengeful femme and bears no resemblance to the real Joan of Arc, so well documented by dozens of scholars. Don't for one minute be fooled by his revisionist Joan; the real woman was a real star and a saint. I was left with a feeling of anger, as if a fraud had been perpetrated, because Besson's Joan simply cannot have achieved the heroism that the real Joan so patently did. Her trial and life are among the most well-documented of any historical figure, and Besson's Joan disavows or ignores what the best scholarship has long established. A modernist gothic horror it might be, but it's cheap cinema (because this Joan is just not credible) and even cheaper fiction. Don't infect your children with this a-history.

Summary: Milla Jovovich rocks
Review: I initially only went to see this movie because milla was in it. I had no idea who Joan of Arc was or her history. I was greatly impressed by the movie, watch it and you'll know why.

Summary: Not a bad film but some stuff was out there....
Review: I've been fortunate enough to have visited Rouen, the city where Jeanne was held, put on trial, and ultimately put to death. Many features of this film (costume, setting, etc) are very accurate. The battle scenes were very good. I have a problem with Milla's acting....it seems as if she tries too hard. Also what's with the Conscience...let the actor portray that stuff! Or is it that Milla couldn't do that? 'Screaming and crazy screaming' were her two modes.....I'd agree.

Summary: what a load of garbage
Review: I started to wastch this pathetic excuse for a movie and was so irate after the first 10 minutes that I had to leave the room. waht the reviewer says about the Violence does not scatch the surface in the opening scene we see much more than is nessacary or within the bounds of good taste I would not recomend this movie to anyone and the point of the story is better illustated in the tv version called Joan of Arc which is a beautiful Masterpiece TRUST ME rent JOAN OF ARC instead of this horrendous disaster

Summary: Saint Or Sinner?
Review: A sweeping epic film. I was impressed by the cinematography. I was fascinated by the psychological twists and questions the film raises. The battle scenes, I must say, are not for the fainthearted. This could have been a great film. What ruined it for me was the performance by Jovovich. I found it overdone and annoying. I was greatly disappointed.

Summary: St. Joan of Arc
Review: I enjoyed this film every much. It moved slow at times. BUt the war sences are very good. Luc Besson doesn't go all out in his usal ways. But the set's, customs, and other things every good. This shows Joan more like a crazy person, but the film was to bring up questons like that. I tought the sound editing was vary good. I wish it was nomatied for a couple awards. But the "Fifth Element" didn't get any awards ether. But I think you people should see it. You may or may not like it. But thats good because we are all different. This is a strong Film. Really relazitc and a very eventful war film, probly the frist one since "Saving Private Ryan" or "Braveheart". Rent it or buy it. Watch out for misspellings
