I did laugh at the guy reacting to the snow thrown in his face like it was acid.
But it was really pretty to look at, and had a real Conan the Barbarian type of feel to it. Plus the one girl at the start was just outright butchered.

The bearded guy with a spear who the protagonist duels with is a HEMA instructor, he knows his stuff and he's not the only one on set with HEMA background. In general these are the kinds of people who really make an effort to get the history right (or plausible/credible).
