I love Ben Kingsley, he has been staring in great films consistently since I discovered him a as a teenager in the 90's. I love any medieval story, and this was a very well told one. My only complaint is the inaccurate political struggles between the Muslims and Christians. Seriously Hollywood, what was that? I am sick of Muslim culture being the scapegoat for media, I'm Christian and I could see that it was a thinly veiled ploy to again throw our Muslim neighbors under the bus and showcase their atrocities against the kind and loving Christan peoples - PSHAW!! I am not sure this is even an accurate portrayal of a historical event, if not why not keep religion out of it and just make it some bad tempered neighboring tribe. Besides that element which felt unnecessary, the story was fabulous, the scenery beautiful and the score fantastic. I can see why it got the 7+ rating! I would recommend with caution of realizing that the message contains thinly veiled anti-Muslim sentiment.
