Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Aimed squarely at anyone who likes stories from the past brought to life and anyone interested in what war does to ordinary people. One to watch when you can give it your full attention. Shelve it next to 1917.
The mood
Intense.
The pace
Unhurried and epic, at 3 hr.
What might put you off
  • It's long: 3 hr.
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1963: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

The first Sultan of Egypt and Syria leads the Muslim military campaign against the invading Christians from Europe during the Third Crusade.
