The side you don't get to hear in the MSM.

The reason no one hears it is because no one's going to see it in this country, though of course it's a big hit elsewhere. Kinda like how Americans flocked to that histotically-accurate classic Rambo/s.o.
I'm going to see it because I love Ridley Scott movies, spectacles, and all that fun stuff. I will laugh at the PC junk. I will also laugh at those who expect movies to be historically accurate, when we can't even get TEACHERS to be historically accurate.

That message is that, in a conflict between Christians and Muslims, the former attack, the latter react That's because Hollywood hates nothing like it hates Christ.

When I first heard about a movie being made about the Crusades, I was pretty excited. I love that part of history, and some of the stories are great and compelling, with a warning also.
However, the more I heard about it, the worse it sounded. A friend who saw it said it was like Troy without the historical accuracy. Not a good review to say the least.
