Title: Accuracy be damned....
Product review: It's "Fellowship of the Ring" meets "Pirates of the Caribbean" meets "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" meets the mask from "Kingdom of Heaven" meets, I think, the bridge from "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" meets way too much spinning with swords meets a speech with full orchestra meets...the list goes on and on and on.I really wanted to like this movie but maybe given the plethora of Roman/Medieval/Robin Hood movies/TV shows, this makes it seem somewhat used up. Historical accuracy withstanding, this should have been a bit darker, given the period of which it represents. But given some lush greens and deep blue waters under sunny skies; not happening.It seems to have been more of a vehicle to test the "leading hero" of Colin Firth. I do enjoy watching him, but this just wasn't the right one for him. To be fair, while he is excellent in English period films, he can hold his own in modern ones, too. I just couldn't get into this one.
