Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

fluffset I totally disappointed with this movie, but I still give this movie 5 because I think its not so bad but just its 70% historical inaccuracy that make me quite angry. Some other reviewer try to make quite a stir by saying that Sultan Mehmet is a wine drinker and everything but its not, Sultan Mehmet is the one of the pious Muslim king in the history, just like Salahuddin Ayyubi. He likes to pray a lot, very kind with his people, like to read koran a lot, but they never show this in the movie. Hadith of the Prophet said,"Verily you shall conquer Constantinople. What a wonderful leader will her leader be, and what a wonderful army will that army be!". And they totally don't describe about how Sultan Mehmet work so hard in his life to produce exactly what prophet have said in order to fit his kingdom with the hadith rather than always yelling at his minister. Actually I've read the biography about the detailed conquest of the Constantinople so I can say that I quite know everything and this movie fail to do so.It looks like they just take some inspiration from "Kingdom of Heaven","Troy","300","King Arthur" and maybe "Alexander" to make this movie. How come the queen of Muslim country wear outfit like Penelope Cruz? By the way, this movie is still good but just have no originality and total of historical inaccuracy.

bc_rocker So I finally got around to watching this film after having it on my list for quite some time. I have almost no historical knowledge of the Ottoman/Byzantine empire from this time period; I went into this film looking to be entertained, to watch a pseudo-historical period piece similar to something like "300" (expecting less action) and that's exactly what I got. The cinematography, sets, landscapes, and costumes were all very beautiful. There was a surprising amount of military-related action, and while there were a few slower moments involving politics and character relationships, overall I was entertained and didn't really find the film boring at all despite the 2 hour 40 minute run time.I see a lot of criticism on this forum regarding the historical inaccuracies and the possible vote-manipulation but I really can't understand why. The film doesn't market itself as a documentary, it's as historically accurate as 300 or Gladiator. The film stands on it's own if you go into it with an open mind without any expectations other than being entertained. As for the vote-manipulation by Turkish people, I myself am not Turkish, I'm Canadian (english/german ancestry) and in fact don't even know a single Turkish person. I easily rate this film 7/10 based on the quality and entertainment value and have already recommended it to several friends who all enjoyed it as much or more than I have.Ignore the naysayers! If you enjoy a beautiful and well-made film with a touch of political intrigue and big-scale siege warfare you will enjoy Fetih 1453 (Conquest 1453)

unixfreaxjp I watched this movie without reading any reference (except the trailer), so I think I can write my honest opinion. If you want to watch it, please bear it in your mind that this movie is the historical basis event that is fictionalize as for entertainment, then you won't get any disappointment. However, if you want to see this movie and expecting the historical summary to be well-presented in there, please consider not to expect too much and be ready for some contradictions to what we learned in the historical lessons in school.I didn't watch any Turkish movie before this. But I think they spend good effort and a relevant budget for its making, and for the result it is a presentable entertainment, meaning: you can enjoy this movie with relax with the pop-corn in your hands and enjoy some heroic actions.For the historical point of view itself, it is a bit too one-sided story although some dialogue of Constantinople and Rome was presented, it missed or maybe made up some important details, and I will not say much of those. It seems the director wanted to build the modern historical image of the Ottoman empire from their point of view, and they made it. As entertainment I score it as 8, and as historical background is 4, the producers, directors & actors did their best in overall which deserve a 7. So the average score I can give is 6.3, rounded up to 6.

fatihokur3 This movie was one of the most magnificent historical movies ever.. the actors were great.. scenario was excellent all of them from history real was..
