in one scene an English knight yells for the archers to "Fire!" (they wouldn't have said this in 1357...they would have said "loose"...they only yelled "fire" when actual guns and cannons were invented).....
the fact that in a small village in those times nobody would notice 6 strange people out of the blue when everyone in those times was born, lived and died in about a 20 mile radius....
The horses were the SLOWEST HORSES EVER, and every person on foot could outrun them.....
A French commander give a horse away to a total stranger, just before an upcoming battle.....this in a time when horses were extremely valueble and a man on horseback was worth ten men on the ground, (like handing someone out of the blue an M1 abrams)....

I could go on, and on, and on, and on......
Ok, maybe you can say the acting sucked, the plot was bland, and that it overall sucked (which when I see it, I'll prob agree)
But jeez, it's still a MOVIE, not a documentary. You're analyzing this movie like a history major.
