Movie Reviews of The History Channel Presents The Crusades - Crescent & The Cross
Movie Review: Balanced and comprehensive discussions about the three crusade campaigns..
Summary: 4 Stars
This documentary film is highly recommended for everybody. The movie showed clearly balanced opinions in the discussion of crusaders' campaigns. I found the details of the first campaign were comprehensive and informative. On the focus of the struggle of the Muslims to liberate Jerusalem, the movie provided also deep analysis details about the conditions of the Islamic world in the Middle East in acceptable details. Above all, the Bonus Documentary "The Knights Templar" was a nice surprise and made the story of the crusades completed. Highly recommended for everybody!Movie Review: Very Interesting Documentary
Summary: 4 Stars
I found this to be a very interesting and informative documentary. Its focus is on the first three crusades. It speaks of the successful taking back of Jerusalem during the First Crusade lead by Geofrey and his brother Baldwin. Then, through the inexperience of tactical & battle leadership, the Second Crusade, lead by King Louis VII of France, ended in disaster and failure. The Third Crusade which originally was lead by King Barbarossa of Germany, but was taken up by King Richard the Lion Heart after Barbarossa's death, managed to reach the city of Jerusalem. However, the battle harden crusaders did not take it. This documentary presented to me a renewed interest in the Crusades. So much so that I began to research for more indepth information.
If you have an interest in the crusades and want key information concerning its successes and failures, then I recommend The Crusades: Crescent & The Cross.
