      Audience Member This medieval age 2 hour "epic" falls flat with a story that barely makes sense only half of the time and is littered with characters that are almost completely flat. With a reported budget of 30 million euros anyone should expect a film like this to be at least competent in most aspects but alas that is impossible with these filmmakers. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I managed to watch all of 15 minutes of it before I gave up-- not even Hildegard von Bingen's vision could save this one. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member The story of a rebel uprising against Emperor Barbarossa. An Italian epic built around other Hollywood epics with bigger budget, this film is just clumsy and awful. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Not bad. Dragged on a bit but had a good story and battle scenes. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Nothing seemed to have anything to do with anything and it was hard to tell who to side with. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Hyfsad historisk rulle. Skiljer sig inte nämnvärt från andra i genren.
