European movie for a European audience. This movie gets too many bad reviews mostly i think just cause people read how bad the movie is.Well i liked it cause it is a very good historic epic movie.The fight scenes which is what americans care most about i think were ok.The drama in it was pretty good also.It was not as big as a Gladiator or Braveheart maybe but i think they may not have hasd the same amount of cash the others had,I would not be surprised if compared with other European historical movies this was pretty good.If you compare it with big movies with lots of green-screen action in it you may think it not so good.But it is not some fantasy movie this is an effort to make a historical epic movie and it has succeeded pretty well i think.But i guess alot of peopel now would call Shakespeare a bad writer.The movie is fine i just deserves another audience.
