Just like the case with the first film, this one really impressed me with its beautiful cinematography and music score. Sadly though, while having the same strengths as The Knight Templar, it also suffers from the same flaws, as in being somewhat clichéd and bordering on the pretentious. A shame to say the least, as it's otherwise a very skillfully directed and engaging story.
I still liked the movie as a whole, however, and it's certainly one of the best Swedish productions I've seen in a while. That doesn't really say much though, as I only see like one or two per year. At any rate, if you've read the books by Jan Guillou, or like historical films in general, then this is definitely a must-see. Not only for its visual qualities, but because it captures a time that is rarily depicted in cinema.
Jag förstår varför ingen gillade Arn när dem var mindre, den är väldigt morbid. Mer likt svenskt Game of Thrones. Netflix reboot med original cast när?
+ en Skargsgård mer än första filmen
didn't realize this was the second one whoops (as if the cover poster doesn't have a big II on it) anyways sofia helin!! i've missed you :')
Havin watched all of the series in the 6 part mini series on Amazon I have to say it was super. A great story, great costume design and the Middle Ages everything u want. Good cast great score.

I never thought I'd ever see Morgan Alling in a war uniform... and think it's epic!
Arn & Cecilia’s love story was tragically beautiful and I like how it tied up in this one. I held in a tear at the end. I’m not crying you’re crying.
This was quite a big improvement over the first movie. Visually it's just as beautiful as the first but this one was better when it comes to pacing (with one exception about halfway through when things happened a bit too fast for my liking). This time around I cared more about the characters who were already established in the previous movie but I also enjoyed a few of the new additions to the cast. However some of the problems from the first movie are still present here like clichéd dialogue. But I can definitely say I enjoyed the story and the ending!
P.S. Glad to see Arn/Joakim Nätterqvist stuck to the beard in this one, even though he reminded me a bit of PewDiePie xD
