Very weak. A lot of imagination both about Christians and about Muslims. A lot of fanaticism. Jihad is always mentioned. The betrayals of some Greek generals and Norman mercenaries are not mentioned. Nor the betrayal of the Uzi Turks. During the battle, Roman Diogenes is also betrayed by Andronicus, the son of Ioan Dukas, who retreats from the battlefield. The latter wanting the Byzantine throne for his family. Alp Arslan's attempts to bide time are not mentioned. Very weak fight scenes. I have seen historical films, from the 80s, of much better quality. The merriment was brought by the white painted NATO helmets of the Turks. That was hilarious.
