Ęxçëşș M @ExcessMale 02/04/2021 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. See more 04/26/2016 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. See more 01/01/2014 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. See more 01/06/2013 Not bad. Dragged on a bit but had a good story and battle scenes. See more 03/17/2012 Nothing seemed to have anything to do with anything and it was hard to tell who to side with. See more 02/26/2012 Hyfsad historisk rulle. Skiljer sig inte nämnvärt frÃ¥n andra i genren. See more Read all reviews
