Arn: The Kingdom at the End of the Road

If you like the medival genre, like I do, than the two movies of Arn will probably give you some entertainment. I can write a review and use it for both of the movies as Arn: The Knight Templar (2007) and Arn: The Kingdom At The End Of The Road (2008) are both basically the same movies, or one is the sequel of the exact same quality. Well quality is a big word as they both could have been much better with a bit more bloody battle scenes and lesser religion and devotion. Joakim Nätterqvist as Arn is not a bad actor but his nerdy face doesn't make him very believable as a strong warrior. Both movies are a bit too long, or could have been the right length if there was just more action and a faster pace but overal both movies are still worth a watch if you're into that kind of stories.

Most of the people who have given poor reviews for this movie have read the book - they then seem to compare the two but most people here won't have read the book, like myself. I thought the movie was, in conjunction with the 1st one, the best of last year...and I watch a lot of movies...

So the story takes off from where the last one ended. It moves a little faster than the previous movie, which I also enjoyed, and there is plenty of character development. I did identify with the characters in Tempelriddaren (2007) and so was very much ready for their last adventure.

This film will not disappoint and the final scene where he rides onto the battlefield will bring a lump to your throat...

Super film - don't judge the movie by the film and go and enjoy it instead.

Camera work, script and acting are brilliant. Concept to go from language to language stunning even with subtitles Long film watched with effortless desire for more

Just about to watch this film - haven't read the book but it is next on my list.

Have to say I thought the first movie was brilliant - even with the subtitle - and I have read the first two books.

Obviously it wasn't possible to include everything in the movie but there was enough to whet the appetite for the sequel.

As a Scot I wouldn't put too much store on the Braveheart comparison. Braveheart was a Hollywood abomination with little or no respect for the real story - eg No bridge at the Battle of Stirling Bridge!!! As for Troy - the first and greatest epic tale ever written (which I have also read) - Hollywood once again creates a vile and obscene version of the tale, changing the story to make sure Brad Pitt survives until the final scenes and allowing Paris to survive the final battle (and what was the pronunciation of the names about) Despite some negative comments I am looking forward to watching this movie and will mark it later.

This movie and the previous one is actually quite dissatisfying. If you, like me, have read the books. You will be quite disappointed. The movie does not live up to the standard of the books, unfortunately. There's so many things in the books which is not present in the movies, I actually had quite big hopes for the second movie. Unfortunately, the movie did not live up to my hopes.. I had hoped for so much more. Especially when it comes to the parts regarding the Holy Land. Unfortunately my expectations were a lot higher then I should have expected :S Well, the movie was alright. But the money spent on it was a total waste since they removed all the great parts from the story.. Excuse me for my poor drunken English, its not much more to say except that the movie was quite the appointment :(
