Joan of Arc as portrayed in the film seems to be a self-proclaimed messenger of God, over zealous in her beliefs. She came across as an obsessive, compulsive individual or one plagued with schizophrenia. The onscreen Joan of Arc didn't possess any kind of battle skills besides shrieking and egging people on to fight. The battle scenes are very small in scale and felt more like a skirmish between two warring towns rather than two countries. Milla Jovovich did a commendable job playing an unbalanced Joan of Arc. However, due to such extreme eccentricities, as an audience you never fall in love with the character or empathize with her, inspite of her tragic death. There lies the reason why the movie didn't do too well at the box office. But it's a movie worth watching once.
