I'll withhold judgment until this comes out on DVD and I get to see it. I am going to keep an open mind though because I got burned listening to a lot of Freepers on the movie Kingdom of Heaven. Seems FR was awash with posters ripping the film for being a piece of Islamic propaganda. I finally saw it and didn't come away with that impression at all. It was primariy a historical action flick which showed both good and bad muslims and good and bad Christians. The final battle scenes depicting the siege of Jerusalem were very well done and were quite exciting. I thought it was a pretty good flick other than the main character being hopefully miscast. Sorry but guy (can't recall his name) does not make a convincing macho warrier at all. He's more a sensitive touchy feely type. Russel Crowe would have been perfect in that role.

I haven't seen K of H either, probably for those reasons. I may check it out now.

Not that FReepers are ever too far off mark, but somtimes a movie is just a movie.
