I am a military history buff. I will go to this movie to see knights on horseback charging into battle. The rest is just Hollywood drivel.

Me too. The trouble is, I end up scritinizing the anachronisms and stupid screenplays so much that a lot of the enjoyment goes out of it.
The only Ridley Scott movie I genuinely enjoyed was Gladiator. Though I grimmaced at the historical fudging, the special effects were fantastic enough to pull me through. Plus, there was no bashing of Christianity.
I'll probably end up seeing this on video--or borrowing it from someone if I can avoid sending Hollyweird a dime.
