A bit overrated & it doesn't age well

Rating: 7/10 (3 October 2015)

I can somewhat forgive the movie for being considered the most inaccurate historical blockbuster ever made. Without even knowing this while watching the movie, I couldn't help feeling that 40-something Mel Gibson was close to 20 years older than the 20-something young buck he was supposed to portray.
It's also a very cheap shot to make the enemy so incredible evil, with the whole hanging children, killing innocents, and raping wives (Prima nocte: which for the record never happened), so we don't mind when they brutally kill them however they like Moreover, what's with the whole homophobic and womanizing explicit scenes of the movie?
It's clearly overreaching at times, yet is still has its moments and it's at times artful in its brutality.
