Critics Consensus

Paul Greengrass' cinéma vérité-styled medieval epic draws most of its potency from the evergreen rage of wealth inequality, but its mingling of history and myth proves more awkward than enlightening.

Audience Says

With a sound historical foundation, The Uprising offers an immersive, cinematic journey that may not fully land its ending but remains a rewarding experience overall.

3/5

The pacing is often thrilling, and the depiction of the King’s council is suitably boo-hiss repellent — step forward Tom Hollander as the treasurer Robert Hales.

Even when it’s set in the 14th century, you instantly know a Paul Greengrass film. The kinetic charge the director gave Captain Phillips and the Bourne movies now crackles through his new project, The Uprising.

It’s battle after march after battle. And then another march happens. This makes it hard to remember what the masses are rebelling against at a particular moment.

AMAZING & DISAPPOINTING! This movie is GREAT. It really made me witness what people of England had to go through back in 1381. It had me rooting for them and questioning for the VIOLENCE that was happening both sides. I don’t know much about the HISTORY which is good because what happened in the movie got in shock and disappointed.

Good story. Good acting, Garfield is a brooding, reluctant protagonist. Accent is a bit hard to deal with in faster dialogue sequences, but a worthy watch overall.

A beautiful film from start to finish. It is emotional to its core. I shed a tear watching it in the theater. The real antagonist of the movie is surprising. The ending is so badass that I was totally pumped watching it! That was so cool!

Thought it was great. Almost didn’t go see it based on the negative reviews. Glad I ignored them. Great start to hopefully a series of Robin Hood movies.
