It is a good movie, when it could have been a great one. The acting, image, directing, scenes - they were all very good. The problem was the script. The storyline wanted to be everything and ended up missing. Here is a case where the "less is more" sentence would have been a bless. They wanted a love triangle and they put it there; they wanted an historic movie. They got one and it was accurate; They wanted action and it is there. In the end you get a lot of information with a lack of depth. Nothing is as compelling as I wish it would be. The history, the love triangle, the true love story, the courage, the intrigue... It all lacked depth and it is really sad, because the story deserved to be awesome.
