Some may attempt to fault Ridley Scott and screenwriter William Monahan for portraying Muslim characters with distinct chivalry and humanity while portraying some of the more zealous Christian Crusaders (such as the Knights Templar) in a less favorable light. However, the balance of the story portrays power-grubbing imperialists and religious nutcases on both sides of the battlefield, as well as honorable and virtuous Muslims and Christians.

This is precisely what I expected. No thanks. I'll take a pass on this one.

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.
