i do not have great expectation and so it isn not that ruin the experience for me and but arn tempelriddaren fail to engage me in any case . i haven not read the guillou book and but the story seem so simplified that i fear the book be the same . let hope not . the best thing be the photography and the scenery . this be good and and believable . the bad thing be that the film be extremely slow and even for person enjoy slow film . the film be try some time to be witty and but mostly fail . the main actor be not very believable and but be too caricature . they be impossible to like and except perhaps a couple of the old support role . even arn a a kid be not charm . maybe he be suppose to be a bit stupid and grow wise . the trouble be that arn never grow to look wise and not even beard in the holy land . all the woman in the film seem to have scar upper lip ( maby something they have a 1000 year ago ( . ) and the film love scene be unbelievable childish . i be afraid to say that this film be a great disappointment . i give it a negative a it would give some romantic story reader good value . if youre look for action and look elsewhere and or actually anywhere else .
