I was amazed to see reviews with top ratings. This movie will be watched by someone who likes history and knows something about the Battle(s) of Vienna and etc. Well, let's start: - it is insanely inaccurate when we speak of uniforms, only the Austrian musketeers and the Janissaries had proper uniforms but the second were armed with sabres only... - but the previous was nothing - it is insanely inaccurate when it comes to the real events. Indeed, it has little to do with them, even Hollywood would make it more accurate. - the whole plot is based around a monk and the main event - the battle - goes like they didn't want to do it at all but decided the movie was too short and went on adding it - the battle is inaccurate, not even close to what actually happened (besides the breach of the wall but it was not caused by a mine) - 95% computer explosions that were made on the first generation Celeron, as it seems. Not ugly, but dreadfully bad. Muskets were even worse. - sound from guns and muskets was probably generated by firing an AK-47 and then multiplying it - the movie is groundbreaking in revealing that Austrians actually invented the first recoilles gun with the exception of the Polish artillery which had recoil absorber - no one had a pistol in the whole movie - Austrians had a total of 18 men infantry and some cavalry which run away - how did the monk and Reiter escort get into the city when it was besieged - battle was hilarious
I think this movie deserves -6 but can't select it so gave it 1.
