Robert Abele Los Angeles Times The title's promise of violence is dutifully met in gory, sonically squishy close-quarter melees shot in Confuse-o-vision, as if the camera had been strapped to a whirring blender before the footage was edited with the puree button. Jul 24, 2014 Full Review Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter Essentially 108 minutes of woad-daubed Scots and begrimed English settlers slogging it out over a castle on the Scottish border in 1221. Jul 22, 2014 Full Review Trevor Johnston Time Out Much sound and fury ensues, but without a compelling story behind it, it signifies very little. Rated: 2/5 Mar 12, 2014 Full Review Betty Jo Tucker ReelTalk Movie Reviews Despite too much jerky camera work, 'Ironclad 2' boasts lots of action and a stirring background score. Plus, its cup runneth over with medieval blood and gore. Jul 31, 2014 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue It throws historical accuracy out the window even more than its predecessor. Jul 25, 2014 Full Review Maitland McDonagh Film Journal International Battle for Blood continues to make 13th-century England look like a truly wretched place to live or, more often, die in. But while it delivers some strong battle sequences, the characters are less vividly drawn than in its predecessor. Jul 24, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member The camera move way too much make me dizzy, not a good movie Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Divertissant pour ceux qui apprécient les films de chevaliers. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member another 'game of thrones' knock-off with a bit more blood n gore thrown in 4 good measure.skip this sequel and see the first 2011 'ironclad' much better than this pale sequel Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Waste of acting talent....total yawn fest Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Despite a caning by the critics, and can see why, I still found the much blood letting a decent view as a gang of mercenaries defend a castle for the sake of family blood. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Captures a good medieval mood, albeit one that suggests everyone always lived in turmoil, but it does look the part, however the success here is underdone by a weak plot and an underscripted script. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
