A fair historical film, not exactly exceptional but, in nice doses, offering a good message, love, patriotism, war, trahison, a king, then a hero from ordinary people , good crafted tension and not bad acting.
It represents one of examples of affirmation of legacy of past from an European people, sure, using not exactly comfortable cliches but offering a coherent story, defined by precise traits, remind of importance of moral values and a wise definition of courage.
And a wise lesson about democracy reflected by the chain of royal rings . Not the most polite portrait of Rome , very subjective, in fact, saved by the poor monk, not awful fight scenes and few well used symbols.
So, just pleasant.
