William Tell Ratings & Reviews
FilmWeek (LAist)
Tim Cogshell
Very interesting movie that tells a cool history.
MovieWeb
Julian Roman
You can appreciate William Tell's cinematic scope despite its flaws. Director Nick Hamm nails the sweeping vistas, bloody battles, and historically accurate production design, but struggles with character development and plot connectivity.
Elements of Madness
Douglas Davidson
... the technical elements are as-expected for a narrative of this scope and size, & the thematic elements are particularly poignant in a political era of similar tyrannical greed, [yet] "William Tell" largely falls flat due to its rote approach ...
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Some stirring old-school action sequences can't plug all the holes in a formulaic script that takes some egregious historical liberties. Plus, the ending is ridiculous.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
It seems a bit of a stretch to think that this is going to end up as the first installment in a long-running MCU-style series of hard-edged escapist adventures loosely based on history. But stranger things have happened.
The Saturday Evening Post
Bill Newcott
A defiant throwback to a time when movie marquees boasted "a cast of thousands," immersed audiences in chaotic, close-up widescreen Technicolor battle scenes and featured chiseled, virtuous heroes doing battle with smirking, thoroughly evil villains.
The Newnan Times-Herald
Jonathan W. Hickman
By leaning into the passé action tropes, the story loses much of its emotional heft.

Unlike in Braveheart or The Patriot, it is the hero's success rather than his defiance that ultimately rallies his kinsmen.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
William Tell possesses the general feel of an epic story but little specific to make it so.
Spectrum Culture
Joel Copling
Hamm's film is a well-crafted but innately slight endeavor.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
A well-shot, but anemic, exhausting and overlong medieval action thriller. The talents of Ben Kingsley, Claes Bang, and Golshifteh Farahani are all wasted because of the vapid, pedestrian screenplay.
Movies Thru the Spectrum
Al Alexander
A big-budget ($45 million) medieval slayfest that doesn't shy away from its preposterously bold flirtation with parody. But that's to be expected of a filmmaker so presumptuous that he's already anticipating a follow-up, no doubt dubbed "Deux Tell."
Common Sense Media
Stefan Pape
But with so many characters and such a myriad of stories, the film might have been better served as a TV series.
Screen Rant
Mary Kassel
William Tell is a classic tale of revolution and sacrifice, but even its gorgeous landscapes and universal story didn't make up for its uneven pacing.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
"William Tell" might be of value to those most patient with historical actioners, but casual viewers probably won't walk away with any fresh appreciation of the man and his mission.
Loud and Clear Reviews
Joe Botten
For all its familiar beats and modest shortcomings, William Tell resonates, especially with those who cherish epic dramas.
The Movie Sleuth
Nate Adams
There is one thrilling sequence, and it's the pivotal one where Tell has to take the shot at his son's head, but it's not enough to sustain the rest of the film. Let alone a sequel that the movie hilariously tee's up at the tail end. (TIFF Dispatch).
TheWrap
Steve Pond
It's so handsomely mounted that it generally gets away with its excess, thanks in large measure to Bang and to a story that became legendary because it can reach to us across the centuries.
Variety
J. Kim Murphy
With a towering Claes Bang in the lead role and a dynamic supporting cast, it's easier to swallow the notion of there being more Tell adventures to come.
IndieWire
Christian Zilko
There's no unprecedented spectacle or unique angle to draw in those on the fence about the genre, but more than enough to satisfy anyone who can't stop counting the days until "Gladiator II" hits theaters.
