The Messenger: Friday November 12, 1999

The Messenger Poster In 1429, a teenage girl from a remote village stood before the world and announced she would defeat the world's greatest army and liberate her country. It began as a small voice in the heart of a simple girl… but as the voice grew stronger, rulers were drawn to listen, armies were empowered to fight and her countrymen were inspired to believe. -- © 1999 Columbia TriStar Interactive .

score = 80
comments = I think this is a good film but like people say it is not accurate and the pop culture is totally different (changes story all together)...The version of Joan of Arc (mini series)i perfer is the one starring Lee Lee...It is still worth seeing. All the actors and actresses did a good job. Good on yas all...

Good movie. A little long. Milla Jovovich is incredible, and Dustin Hoffman is wonderful as well. Only an 80 because of the length. Could have stood some editing without losing its punch. But definitely recommended!
