I feel like this movie pops up on here every couple months. I watched the directors cut earlier this year. It was good enough, just super long. Bloom didn’t really do it for me but the setting and battles are great. It had the misfortune of following up Gladiator.

A great film but very historically inaccurate


Been thinking about watching this because I've been on a kick of learning about the crusades and this is the review I've seen the most.

I know a ton of movies are really loosely based on history but I've heard it makes Christians looks so bad that it's pretty much killed my desire to see it.

You can watch the director's cut for free on YouTube. The fact that's it's called an 'Islamic movie' should clue you in a bit, though. The protagonist and a lot of his allies are constantly scoffing at Christianity the entire film.

That said, the director's cut is an incredible film.
