Query: A rather unintentionally stupid film

I tried to watch this film but could not finish it. Afterward I set to reading the unabridged book "Ivanhoe". I found the book to be infinitely superior.There were many gross (and I do mean gross)innacuracies and deviations from the origional book.For one, the melee combat. In the movie the fim makers claimed the Normans cheated by using daggers during the melee which never happened in the book. The Normans were actually noble opponents.And then there was Font de Beof's burning death scene. It is shown in beyond graphic detail. Sir Walter Scott (I'm going from memory here so excuse the paraphrasing) said of that scene: To describe the scene would be unchristian.A character is added for the sole purpose of being beheaded just to show how mean and nasty the villains are. We already knew that considering they kidnapped, murdered and stole.I could go on longer about this but to sum it all up, a very poor adaptaion of the wonderful book Ivanhoe
