More than just audiovisual enjoyment

First of all, I'm not a fan of Elf Prince, but I've never missed any big-budget Hollywood production,
especially when the film's producer and director's previous experience
has super entertaining ears like Black Hawk Down and Gladiator. and eyeball films.
The result is quite unexpected. In addition to more than 2 hours of audio-visual enjoyment,
this film rarely provides the audience with another perspective on Christianity and Muslims.
Although it is a Hollywood production through and through,
most of the Christians in the film are greedy, incompetent, and disgusting, while the Muslims on the other side of the conflict are portrayed as more likable.
The Elf Prince has the worst acting skills in the whole film. He can't even read the lines loudly and imposingly.
(It's worse than Pitt in Troy, which is rare.) I
like the line at the end of the film. Balian and Saladin are in As he negotiated the terms to end the war,
Balian looked at the countless casualties and asked; "What is Jerusalem worth?"
Saladin replied, "Nothing," before taking a few steps back and saying, "Everything."
