First of all i'd like to go with the trend that the book is much better! It's much longer and goes more in-depth into the technology and the middle ages part of it. (It's very hard to put a 400 page book into a movie though) That thing that peeved me off the most was taking out the best scenes (the tournament scene was the scene I was waiting for when I watched this)Also the complete change in character, Doniger was originally a charming handsome young man, Kramer and Gomez were women! And Marek was Dutch...not Scottish but I love Gerard Butler anyways.
The acting was okay. I've seen much better in my day but considering the low budget it was fine. Gerard Butler was very good in this film being a strong actor as usual (physically too!) fitting perfectly into the role of medieval guru.
I was really upset that the took away from the action scenes. A darker shot adds suspense but too much darkness and you cannot see what is going on. And the face the the camera angles where too close you couldn't see the full actions in the fight sequence, of which I was very exited for. But the scenery was beautiful and looked perfect for the movie (GO CANADA!) I was very upset that this movie wasn't better but I liked it as a fun movie just to watch and I do recommend it anyways.
