Maybe it's the Hollywood treatment of the history I don't like, but whilst I find them mildly entertaining I can't rave about them.

I agree Rhino, it seems that they (Hollywood) skimmed over years of interaction that the book mentioned and put it into what appears to be a few days. No wonder that people get so confused.

I just wish movies especially big budget spectaculars would follow the book!
