Alternate title: What Were Those Reviewers Smoking?
This movie was profoundly disappointing. When you feel the urge to look at your watch during the climactic battle scene, that should tell you something. This was a puff propaganda piece that was mind-numbingly boring. The escape sequences were downright embarrassing. As for historical accuracy, it would have been even worse if the bulk of it hadn't been simply left out, like how he went from a family of four to an army of thousands in a frame or two.
And how did someone keep their head clean-shaven in the 1100s?
