The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

The movie started out good but later turned into utter rubbish, villainizing islam and making it look evil. Lots of historical inaccuracies, just another hollywood propaganda movie.

I worked in Hollywood as a screenplay writer, and acting teacher. Nee, I know something about da biz, having worked in media for 50 years. This movie, probably costing millions, well, I'll be kind... I felt sorry to Ben Kingsley, who once played Ghandiji! And all the other actors, I'd love to get their stories... A cast of thousands, exotic locations, sex and violence, an epic saga, without heart, rambling from trauma to trauma, Jews against Arabs, warlords against warlords, camels against camels, the desert against all! I don't know how something like this get's produced, ah, maybe the de riguer sex scene, arrows flying hither and yon. I can picture the pitch meeting, with the creators going for the money, IT'S THE STORY OF THE FIRST MEDICAL OPERATION, AND THIS HAS HISTORIC VALUE Wouldn't the millions spent on this mopic have been better used to feed the hungry?

I start from the story i gave it a 8 because it was fun to watch an exciting journey but honestly as a science student i know that the portrait of Aveccina was totally wrong. He died from a disease that he easily treated at that time but since he was always taking care of patients he never paid attention to his health. at the old age he had already achieved an amazing level in medical science that has never repeated in history of mankind. he was a genius at only very young age he had mastered all scholar texts of his time. they could merely put focus on the young English physician and show that Avicenna actually supervise the surgery not learn it! totally ridiculous scene! such a shame! if anyone wants to know the accurate history site watch Bou Ali Sina TV series made in persian in 70s i have watched it over and over and i cant get enough even if it looks pretty old but still amazing to watch maybe available in Eng from ifilm.

VERY VERY loosely based on 'Medicus' by Noah Gordon, a book I read twice and which I love very much. Other reviewers have already spoken about the historical inaccuracy of the movie so I will not go into details. I don't like it either, BUT, if you consider this movie a fantasy tale set in a medieval-like world, it's a wonderful compelling story with well written characters and great actors. I decided to forget the movie was based on a book I love and that it was supposed to be set in a particular moment in real history, and I enjoyed it very much. I also fell in love with the Shah, a character that you are brought to hate and despise in the beginning and that you love and admire in the end (when he closely resembles the Asian version of Aragorn oh my God what a man). I loved Ben Kingsley's performance and the way Ibn Sina was portrayed despite the historical inaccuracy, the scene of his death included, very poetic and moving. I tend to like movies with my heart and soul as well as with my mind, and since I cared for the characters and in the end I was moved to tears, I give it a 9/10
