Title: A balanced story ... presented really badly
Review: Watching this disk is like reading a really dull high-school level history book or watching a *really* bad stage production. The narrator is as exciting as a mashed-potato sandwich and his script has had all controversy removed from it. The acting/reenactments are between not good and laughable. (As another reviewer commented, Saladin's dialog is so bad you will be rushing for the mute button.) Another down side is that the sound mastering is so bad that it is very difficult to hear the narrator over the fake sounds of battle in many places. On the plus side there are lots of facts and neither the Christians nor the Muslims are portrayed as the "hero." If you want a very "safe" introduction to the first couple crusades, where the atrocities committed by both sides are mentioned but sterilized, this may be an alright disk for you but there is a LOT to dislike here.
