I put off watching it for a long time because I thought it was just another shiny big budget historical blockbuster, but I didn't know it was by Guy Ritchie.
Apart from falling in the all-too-common trap of abusing you with gratuitous meaningless CGI, which seems to have become the norm for all such movies these days, it was actually a brilliant idea to get that story told by that director.
The story telling and actors are awesome... Jude Law as the evil usurping king is particularly memorable.
It's great at being mass entertainment and great at being different too.
