Timeline?" 

I've read the book. I  enjoyed it, in part because the story was good and in 
part because I'm interested in 14th century Europe (particularly the HRE, 
though). 

My hopes for the movie aren't high. One of the main points of the book is 
the misunderstanding surrouding the Middle Ages due to inaccurate movies, 
commonly believed falsehoods, etc., and I have a feeling that this movie 
will, ironically, feed those very myths. I'm guessing the garb, arms & 
armour, politics, etc. will probably be as bad as those depicted in movies 
like Braveheart.
