A huge step for the Turkish Cinema

Rating: 10/10 (19 February 2012)

First of all , the movie is about the conquest of Istanbul ( Constantinople ) by the Ottoman Turks under the lead of Sultan Mehmet Han. After the conquest , he was given the title " Conqueror " and since then he has been known as Mehmet the Conqueror.
This is clearly the most important incident took place in the history of the Turks , so the expectations were pretty high. What I believe is that they thrived under the pressure. In terms of the accuracy of the story , almost everything looked fine. There were a few extra stuff added such as the love that took place between Eva and Ulubatli Hasan.
And the visual effects.. This is what I was wondering. To me , they rock ! . There were some scenes that I haven't even seen in Hollywood movies. This one will encourage the producers to make such movies again and again. This was just the first and huge step leading to the others that will come after Conquest 1453.
All in all , this movie rocks ! Even if you are not Turkish , you should have a look at it and I am sure that from the moment you start watching it , you won't dare go to the toilet.
