Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
One hell of a good movie everybody has a different opinion but this movie has a great story line will definitely recommend watching it .
Where should we begin? The movie itself is not bad: decent acting, lots of action, exciting battle scenes. However, one should just watch it just as an action/war flick, because from a historical point of view, this is nothing but a pathetic, biased, and intellectually dishonest attempt to distort the FACTS. The Turkish director and producers tripped over themselves to portray Sultan Mehemet II as an archetypal hero, ferocious in battle and magnanimous in victory. I will just limit myself to point out the following gross omissions and distortions: 1) In the movie we see the sinking of some Venetian ships that tried to force their way past the Turkish blockade. However, nothing is said about the fate of the captain of one of these ships, Antonio Rizzo (look it up, folks!), who along his captured crew was impaled for daring such a feat. 2) The Turkish admiral Balthogu (look it up, folks!) in the movie, was slapped by Mehemet for failing to sink the Venetian fleet, which sailed safely into Constantinople's harbor. In reality Balthogu was almost put to death, had not some of his soldiers defended him to the Sultan: he was beaten to a pulp, stripped of his titles and property and sent into exile. Magnanimous Mehemet, eh? 3) At some point we see the "evil" defenders of Constantinople hanging some brave Turkish prisoners on the walls of the city, in full view of the besieging Turkish army. No mention is made of the FACT that this was IN RESPONSE to the Turks first beheading 125 Christian prisoners before the city walls. One more: my favorite distortion: 4) Mehemet walks into the main church of Consatntinople Haghia Sophia, promising peace and protection to the terrified civilians who found refuge there. Ehem, small detail: Constantinople was sacked for THREE full days: rape, pillage, murder, robbery galore!!! Look it up folks! Conclusion: shame on the director and producers of this movie for their corrupted, stupid, insulting portrayal of history. This is ONE MORE reason for distancing ourselves from anything that has a "made in Islam" tag attached to it......
This film has almost 8/10 rating and 66% of users gave it 10 stars but this doesn't make it a good film for several reasons. First of all, there is no character development and you cannot relate to any of the characters. Secondly, acting is horrible, even laughable at times. In addition, there are zillions of all sorts of goofs (mostly anachronisms and factual errors). Finally, an important historical event is unrealistically told while using too much propaganda which casts a shadow all throughout the film. A far better acting, a much bigger budget with superior visual effects, a way more realistic narration and a lot less propaganda could have created a great film. Now, why does this film have a high rating? It is hard for me to answer this without offending my fellow Turkish citizens. All in all, this film is an insult to the art of film-making and a hundred years of Turkish cinema. If you want to see a good Turkish film, you can try this year's Palme d'Or winner "Winter Sleep" by Nuri Bilge Ceylan.
This movie was one of the most magnificent historical movies ever.. the actors were great.. scenario was excellent all of them from history real was.. I loved it so much.. the budget was so little but movie was superb.. if this movie was made by Hollywood and much more budget with it had become more splendid.. thanks so much to director producer actors and scenarists... the costumes and swords and other shields and cannonballs were fantastic.. like the kingdom of heaven this movie is a marvelous masterpiece I think.. and also the actors were fantastical seems like great strong warriors... also Faith sultan Mehmet wad a fabulous man emperor leader and warrior sure...
