"9/10. Eisenstein epic about the 1242 Battle of Ice between the Teutonic Knights and Russians. A Stalin-era Soviet propaganda film that is anti-German and anti-Christian. Striking imagery. Over the top at times, but accomplishes its objective. The half hour battle scene is the first long epic war scene and uses as deplete for subsequent similar scenes."
