   This movie is about one of the greatest events in history. With
   incredibly high voting numbers. That is getting attention, but is the
   movie worth it?
   
   Firstly the movie complete fails to make a substantial underline of the
   importance and greatness of Constantinople. The animations where nice,
   but a total fuck-up compared with 'Agora' or 'Lord of the rings'. More
   over the movie doesn't really show the Byzantine struggle en effort to
   get Latin help and still doesn't get a real help a the end. It would
   have be nice to see the might Emperor of Byzantium head to Italy en
   totally impress everybody. However the don't. For the feeling is also
   doesn't help that Byzantines, Italians en the church all speak Turkish.
   
   The Ottomans (somehow called the Turks in the movie) where depicted in
   accurate historical setting and outfit. Expect of course the army
   didn't all wear the same.... Oddly they didn't do the same for the
   Byzantine army, people and even the buildings....
   
   Regarding the plot, I never heard of a call of Mohammed to conquer
   Istanbul. So it is an outrage, considering the political contact, that
   such a claim comes in this movie. Even the siege it self contains major
   errors which I will not discuss because of danger of a spoiler.
   However, it is unbelievable that two major commanders of the Turks and
   the Byzantines look like twin brothers in almost no armor and end up in
   a matrix like sword fighting. The final ending is also so a-historical.
   I can sum up more major errors, but that would be a waste of time. It
   is so bad that we can come to a conclusion: this movie is pure
   propaganda, centuries late. But even as propaganda it is extremely poor
   executed and totally unbelievable. 1/10 11 years 6 months ago
