What makes this movie so good?


A 7.8 is really solid on this site and I'm considering watching this movie. Without any spoilers, why do people enjoy this movie so much?

Tremendous action, awesome acting across the board and great direction. While the historical inaccuries have been picked apart by many I really didn't find them relevant. If this was released a year earlier or even before Passion, I think it would be generally regarded as Mel Gibsons best film and one of the top films of the decade

^That and the sense of "you are there."
