This was a pretty good flick. The most impressive scenes involved horse stunts. Not sure how they do that these days w/PETA and all...
My nitpicks w/Hollywood on these movies though:
Sound effects guys are working too hard. How come every time a guy pulls out a sword from a leather holder, it makes a metal on metal loud swoosh sound? Every damn time. Or when they throw a spear into a guy's chest. Does that really make a sound? Don't think so.
Why do they have to make the hero such a sweetheart? Nice to everybody, let's his nemesis live, chicks dig him, etc. Any historic leader needs to be ruthless, not Mr. Nice Guy.
Can we get some actors w/wooden, missing teeth and scragly hair? These people are just too good looking.
