    A Scandinavian film based on the fictional character of Arn Magnusson and one of his crusades as a Knights Templar. The story is set from the Middle Ages, and tells the story of his life...( read more), his love, his relationship with the true king of Sweden and how the young boy became a Knight Templar.

    I think the story is a bit complex, perhaps most especially if youre not familiar with the swedish literature, but if you loved the Kingdom of Heaven then you will most definitely like this movie.

    I cant believe people have rated this just with 3 1/2 stars! The acting was good, and when the movie ended I was like, what? Noo! I want more!! Maybe the general rating for this is only 3 1/2 cuz the story isnt very well known?? Or perhaps its because I havent really read the books yet?? Im confused, I actually found it to be a good film, its a very impressive swedish film and I cant help but wonder if Hollywood tried to rip this off with Kingdom of Heaven. I still have a lot of questions regarding Muslims and Jerusalem... I wish someone would answer them really.

    For the bookworms, try to see The Knight Templar (Crusades) Trilogy by Jan Guillou. - Vägen till Jerusalem (The Road to Jerusalem), Tempelriddaren (The Knight Templar) and Riket vid vägens slut (The Kingdom at the End of the Road). -- Ill try to grab a hold of the books too when I can. :P


    *You might also want to see: Arn - Riket vid vägens slut (he Kingdom at the End of the Road), it is the sequel that follows the story of Arn as he returns home to Sweden after 20 years as a Knight Templar.

    BTW, best get a copy with proper english subtitles, the conversations on the film are mostly Swedish and only a few parts are in English.

    If you're expecting action you will be disappointed. There's a lot of slow scenes with talking and sometimes it gets too cheasy. Overall a great story with beautiful environments. Despite it's length I found it enjoyable all the way and I'm looking forward to the sequels.

    I liked the 13th Warrior because they didn't speak their scandanavian language through the whole movie. I will give this a try in subtitles, but if I get bored it's switcher-off time baby!

    A very good Swedish action movie.

    Recommended. A very good movie, with strong scripting, acting and production.
    But don't be fooled, this is not an action movie. It is a movie with action elements. Lots of politics and drama in this one (which just makes it better).

    If you want to see a great war and strategy in this movies. Don't hope you can see it in this movie. More than 60% of this film tells about the life of arn before he was recrutited as one of the knight of templar. There are to much a romantic story in it.
