"I was unaware of anything about the legend of William Tell, beyond that he shot an apple off his son's head with a crossbow, so this was a somewhat interesting watch for me. I'm not sure how historically accurate any of it is, but the manner of speech that is used in this film seemed to be a mixture of Old English, Shakespearean, and mumbling, and seemed odd. There are some good action scenes and at times, can be a bit brutal. The cinematography is quite dynamic and makes me want to visit Switzerland. A couple of the villains played it over the top, which kept things interesting. It has a longer runtime than needed, I guess they were trying to make it a big, epic movie, like Braveheart, but it falls a little short. If you like historical action dramas, it could be worth checking out. 6.5/10"
