I agree, but I thought it could have been better. I am told that the extended director's cut DVD adds so much cut footage back the film that it comes out as a much better story with better character development.

Unfortunately, I bought the initial release on DVD, and I haven't yet convinced myself to spend another $20 for a movie I already own.

If we are to stay on a historical medieval theme and if you can find them there are two excellent older movies starring Charlton Heston.

The first that is touted to be one of the most accurate portrayals of the early medeival feudal system is the "Warlord"

The other is a big lavish telling of the story of "El Cid". This was made back in days when Hollywood was still making big budget historical epics without the aid of CGA and was filmed in Spain using real medieval castles and authentic locations.
