Beards, long hair and blood!

Rating: 7/10 (18 October 1999)

Let me start with the story line. The story line for this movie is like it has been picked out of a kids cartoon serial. It's a plain good versus evil story line. All the characters are shallow and there isn't any romance in this movie(a little hint at it but that's all). Despite all this, this movie is nice to watch if you like period movies. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Antonio Banderas' character isn't as present as I expected it to be. You could even say there are no real leading characters in this movie. The visuals are nice, lots of blood and macho poses by the characters. All in all a fine piece of entertainment, without any pretensions.
