Selahaddin Eyyubi

No doubt Salahudin Ayyubi is a great historical figure who lived a great life and even his enemies admired him but this show is clearly not a representation of that. It is a very small scale production with poor visual effects and a lack luster repetitive story line which has no depth. What covers most of the episodes is a hand full men chasing each other and fighting in the same locations even the sets are not that good and more importantly it is not even historically accurate. How can you justify 10 to 20 people conquering cities and a sultan who has 20 soldiers who guard the defenses of Damascus. Another thing is that most of the main characters are shown to wear no caps to cover their heads, however this was a necessity in the old times specially in the people of that region. In fact even the Sultan Nurredin has been shown not wearing his crown for more then a dozen episodes. There is no detailing and the characters have been shown wearing the same dresses for almost the whole season.

All of this show highlights the small scale and the small budget of this series. Instead watching this it is better to read a book to learn the legacy of Sultan Selahudin Ayuubi rather than watching this fictional disgrace.

Dont know why turks need to show too much romance into these shows, ertugul, osman, salahudin, i believe that this is not thst needed to show for this important character. And they conquor whole world with few batles and fighters. Why they dont show mass battles with large amount of army if we know that was the case. In some batles these was thousands casulties. Fight scenes are not that convincing. Main character was hit multiple times and he survive, side character hit once died at once. Blod is blured for no reason. There should be invested more into theae tv shows especially for this important historic persons.

Salahuddin Ayubi is perhaps one of the greatest Islamic history which is also recognised by the West. However Türk Pak joint production tv serial simply could not match the greatness of an important chapter of history. Very weak script, poor acting, unimpressive characters, below average production. The script is childish. It is mainly impressed by ertugrul serial so it failed to create its own identity. Not a single character could click. Totally flop serial, waste of time. Ertugrul and Usman serial have left very high bench mark of performance, Salahuddin serial is not even close to that standard. It's better to read a book on Salahuddin Ayubi rather wasting time on this serial.

The series started with significant potential, but the writing has been deeply unsatisfactory. From the outset, the main character, Salauddin, appears powerless, surrounded by merely five allies perpetually engaged in recovery tasks-whether it's saving hostages, finding lost tribes, or retrieving ancient artifacts. He lacks any definitive leadership traits. Furthermore, the show misrepresents the historical narrative, offering a shallow, one-dimensional storyline. It's a complete letdown and pales in comparison to 'Kurulus Osman', which is richly layered and compelling enough that it never wears out its welcome.

After watching Mehmed: Fetihler Sultani, I turned to this series for another engaging historical story. While I was impressed with that series, this one about the hero Saladin was hampered by a lower production budget and mediocre writing and direction. Real history is fascinating enough; it's not necessary to create fictitious characters and side plots that are repetitive and confusing. Lack of VFX results in "battles" with a handful of participants...more accurately defined as skirmishes, which are choreographed the same way over and over, between Saladin and his "army" of a half-dozen close followers and a dozen or more sacrificial Crusaders. Tactics and actions often make no sense - enemies marked for death are often freed to kill again...cities are conquered with a handful of soldiers...seriously wounded men are magically restored to fighting shape in a single day...women fighting (and usually outfighting) men. It's just silly. Direction, too, suffers - Whenever there is a dramatic scene, we get the facial "reaction shots" from each character; similar shots are held way too long for dramatic effect, and the types of shots and scene framing are repetitive and boring. I found myself fast-forwarding through most every fight scene as they all looked the same. Hardest of all - for a Western viewer - is the difficulty that YouTube's auto-translate has with the script. Turkish must be a hard language to translate; it's sometimes hard to discern past and present, and pronouns are constantly mixed up - we get "she" when referring to men, "he" when referring to themselves...after a while you just get used to it. Also, the dialogue contains so many metaphors that it doesn't translate clearly - the often-flowery language and sentence structure of medieval times becomes hard to grasp for modern ears in translation. Of course, this is not the production's fault, but a side effect of auto translation. Overall, the settings and stagings are well-done; the terrain is a little more lush and wooded than I would expect for its location in the holy land; I know it is not all a desert, as often depicted, but this also feels "off." A decent series overall, but viewers may tire of it after a dozen or so episodes.
