Medved? You mean the friend of lobbyist Jack Abramoff (guy who is now responsible for getting DeLay in to all the hot water he's in)? If you read his review, you are reading a repeat of Schlussel's review, just like what he did on "Million Dollar Baby" -- lifted her review. Why read the copy, when you can read the original. Schlussel wrote that CAIR and ADC love the movie. Which Muslims didn't like it? I saw some Muslim Arabs on MSNBC and FOX News and they all loved it.
The Muslims that don't like it are some Muslim viewers...not really famous reviewers or anything. Just did some more searching, and one Muslim on the Yahoo movies board says it portrayed Salidin as willing to do anything for revenge and he said the movie treated Salidin too harshly. The same reviewer said the movie helped him look more positively toward Christians though.
Based on this action in the movie, it may portray the Christians positively according to Christianity Today:
"Guy de Lusignan (Marton Csokas), a Templar who is married to Sybilla and is thus poised to sit on the throne himself, insists that God wants the Christians to slaughter the Muslim hordes. But Baldwin refuses to comply, even going so far as to hang knights who would pick fights with their putative enemies. Witnessing one of these executions, Balian remarks to a Hospitaller (David Thewlis), a member of the military-religious order entrusted with the care of unwell pilgrims, that this seems odd: "They are dying for doing what the pope would tell them to do." The Hospitaller replies, "Yes, but not Christ, I think."
This movie looks like it gives the good and bad in both sides. I am worried it will show more bad in the Christians, so I am leery of going to see this.
I don't want to waste money on pro-Muslim propaganda.
