Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

Ruben Banerjee To be honest, I am a sucker when it comes to Historical movies & for me this movie is sheer brilliance. I will not compare it to any other epic movies of the same genre like Kingdom of heaven or Troy because this one has a beauty of it's own. Each & every Character had a great screen presence which really added value to the story & to the drama. Some of the scenes are spell binding & all credit must go to the director for choosing some breath taking shooting locations.In conclusion, this one is for the keepers. Get to witness moments of lives of historical figures like Saladin, Arn; Crusades, Swedish & Danish battles. The scene with Arn & his horse is for me the best scene of the movie. Did i forget to mention about some romance .. oh yeah! ..this one is revolving around love. I won't add any spoilers as this movie is for grabs and talking about the plot is just not me. PS: I am yet to see the first part..

Brubaker19 Most of the people who have given poor reviews for this movie have read the book - they then seem to compare the two but most people here won't have read the book, like myself. I thought the movie was, in conjunction with the 1st one, the best of last year...and I watch a lot of movies...So the story takes off from where the last one ended. It moves a little faster than the previous movie, which I also enjoyed, and there is plenty of character development. I did identify with the characters in Tempelriddaren (2007) and so was very much ready for their last adventure.This film will not disappoint and the final scene where he rides onto the battlefield will bring a lump to your throat...Super film - don't judge the movie by the film and go and enjoy it instead.

Turbo123 The original story of the book has been changed in many ways to the worse. If you have read the book you will get very disappointed.For example the castle they build at Arnäs is not even in the movie. The team of workers Arn brings from the holy land, is not explained at all and thats how the story goes from many things in this movie. For example Arns brother Eskil has a great role in the book, but in the movie he has nearly a bi role. The book also tells much about trade and intrigues between people which is absent in the movie.Arns father is dead in the movie at Arns return. In the book his still there and gets help from the Armenian doctors. Also the same thing with brother Gilbert - dead in the movie and alive in the book.How Arn became rich is also false and so on...The director has done a horrible job of a very great book. To bad since I had great expectations!

Winston_The_Wolf It's 1187 and the time has come for Arn and his beloved Cecilia to reunite. They have their son who has grownup without his parents and they have their promises of everlasting love. Now our hero only has to go home and make a future for himself, his family and his people.The story is told with elements of love, war, friendship and deceit and visually impressive surroundings between the barren desert landscape in the south and the lush verdure on the north. This is where great battles and expensive special effects take place.Yet, it still doesn't become more than simple manners. No conflicts are deep enough to make it interesting, no characters are shaped enough to touch you and no surprising camera work is seen at all. Sofia Helin, Gustav Skarsgård and all the others can't do anything about the high-flown and ridiculous dialogue that makes you wonder why they wasted all that money on the casting.
