Well hollywood is getting better each time. The round ring maille sucks but the clothing is not as horid as it could be. I wish they would stop with the long haired knight crap though.

What little bit I saw wasn't to bad, though with Hollywood you can count on them finding new, innovative ways to screw up history.

Depending on when and where, knights did wear their hair long James. During the reigns of Henry I (of England), Richard II, during the 1470's-90's in Germany, Henry VII in England, just to name a few eras wear they wore their hair long that springs to mind.
