Malazgirt 1071

The movie was far too much from the gratness of the battle against the bisence empire. The battle take just 10% maybe 15% from the movie with no tactics of the battle.

I wait a great movie represnt great personality from the muslim and turkish history sultan alpaslan I do not know why the work like that maybe the next historic movies try to work with main idean of the movie and take the most time of the movie to show a great view on the history of those legends They should be more serious and more careful in the next historic movies who represent a lot of nations ..try hard work hard seripus.

Very weak. A lot of imagination both about Christians and about Muslims. A lot of fanaticism. Jihad is always mentioned. The betrayals of some Greek generals and Norman mercenaries are not mentioned. Nor the betrayal of the Uzi Turks. During the battle, Roman Diogenes is also betrayed by Andronicus, the son of Ioan Dukas, who retreats from the battlefield. The latter wanting the Byzantine throne for his family. Alp Arslan's attempts to bide time are not mentioned. Very weak fight scenes. I have seen historical films, from the 80s, of much better quality. The merriment was brought by the white painted NATO helmets of the Turks. That was hilarious.

I am a big fan of Cengiz Koskun and he didn't disappoint. He is outstanding in the film. I would say the makers did put a great effort in the making. All the actors put in great performances. The actor who played Romano was outstanding in the role. Cengiz has once again showed what a star he is. The movie lacked proper pacing and like some other reviewers pointed out, there actually wasn't any proper strategy shown in order to win the war on the part of the army of Arp. Special effects were great and cinematography was fantastic. The digital images creating the historic atmosphere was very cool and gave the feeling of 11th century. I would recommend it to war movie fans.

This movie is very well made and very high quality. The movie is made on real events. The filmmakers are Turkish film studios but don't leave Hollywood behind. The events take place in Malazgirt, in present-day Turkey, and everyone should be aware of the story. The film can be seen both in Turkish and in many others view languages. This event is an important part of Turkish history and schould be teached to everyone.

May the heroic leader, who founded the Seljuk state and is remembered as one of the most notable Muslim leaders in history for his immortal victory over the Romans at the Battle of Malazgirt, rest in peace.

Cengiz Coskun as Alp Arslan is the perfect choice to play the lead role. His personality, voice and the whole persona does justice to the role he was offered. The cinematography and effects were amazing and top notch. However, the editing wasn't too good, there were some scenes which could have easily avoided and there should have been more effort by the makers on showing how they strategize the war. Anyway, the movie has heart and the choice of actors is definitely great. The actress portraying the queen is stunningly beautiful and acted amazingly well. Her screen presence was great. The actor who played Diogenes was perfect for the role. Overall, a great watch and a gruesome war movie which could have been perfect.
