The production quality looks amazing from the poster alone. But I hope they don't overdo the CGI - historical dramas work best when they keep things authentic.

While I'm excited for the film, I hope they don't make it too one-dimensional. Historical figures deserve nuanced portrayals, not just heroic caricatures. The cast is promising though!
