Why is Tom Cruise so popular? No matter how old he gets he still has problems looking and sounding like an adult?If you want to catnap between battle sequences, this is the one. It wasn't a BAD movie but I did fall asleep once.
Now, about the battles: very, very good. Some of the best choreographed action I've seen on screen in quite a while. What struck me as unusual was the huge number of charging-horse stunts. Many, many leaping and going down with rider. More than I recall seeing before. Well photographed.
Is it worth the price of submission? Yeah, I think so. But take a pillow and shawl.
