She Died At 19. 500 Years Later. Her Legend Still Lives.
Leelee Sobieski (Deep Impact) shines as the legendary warrior Joan Of 'Arc, who, at seventeen, let one of the greatest campaigns for freedom the world has ever witnessed. Supported by an all-star cast including Jacqueline Bisset, Neil Patrick Harris, Robert Loggia, Peter Strauss, Peter O'Toole, Academy Award winners Maximilian Schell and Olympia Dukakis, and a special cameo appearance by Shirley MacLaine, Joan Of Arc is a riveting epic of inspiration, triumph and tears.

not even close to "the messenger" - 2.5 out of 5 (1/24/2002)
feels like it's made for television - lot's of costumes and extras - cliche driven story - cheap, sticky-sweet soundtrack, the drummerboy for the poor - missing everything "the messenger" has: showing the passion of jean, the mystery behind the revelations, the voices, the victory, the defeat, the inevitable. this is yet another anemic history lesson, at best yet another inexplicable glorification. nothing that really makes you think, hope, fear, commiserate, sympathize, cry.

Great Movie - Better on all aspects when compared to The Messenger. - 4.5 out of 5 (4/23/2000)
Having seen both films, Joan of Arc wins on all fronts: Acting, Soundtrack, and special effects. The characters are much more fully developed than
in The Messenger. Even cinematography is every bit as good as that of the messenger. A worthwhile addition to any DVD collection.
