i dont agree i thought Orlando bloom was amazing in this movie any one ealse would have killed the part u pple are crazy in thinking orlando bloom should not have been cast ur all nuts but i do agree that sabylla could have had a lil more purpose in the movie i felt like she was just kinda there u no i have never seen the DC but maybe i should but i still think orlando bloom was a great choice
I love this movie! My favourite characters are King Baldwin IV and Princess/Queen Sibylla. I think Ed Norton and Eva Green did fantastic jobs on this film. Eva Green's character was given mixed reviews because her character's story wasn't all that good, but that's only because the theatrical release cut out the boy, which was the whole centre of her character. It just seemed like she was moping around for nothing in the theatrical, that she should have got over Baldwin's death, but the whole plot with her son was as Scott said the whole 'juice' of her part, and without that her character seemed to just be a silly love interest who didn't seem to quite know what she was meant to be doing. But in the DC she was great and that's what I'm going by. I always thought Scott was silly to cast Bloom, I mean he was alright, but they only got him because they couldn't get Russell Crowe, so that says something. And when Baldwin died, well...I really thought they should have made that later on!

i thought it was good in my opinion. the entire cast did a good job
It's set in the 1180s, during a time of relative peace between the 2nd and 3rd crusades. Jerusalem and its surrounding territory are controlled by Christians, descendants of the First Crusaders, who had conquered it in 1099 from Muslims, who had themselves conquered it in the 7th century from Byzantine Christians.as the Muslim armies have united under Saladin to attempt a reconquest.
King Baldwin of Jerusalem did die young from leprosy, but served as a respected ruler before that. Baldwin's sister Sibylla was unfortunately less noble than shown. Instead of trying to escape her inept and nasty husband.
Muslim Govts had a pretty good record for tolerance. They levied extra taxes on Jews and Christians under their rule, forbad them to proselytize, but otherwise left them alone to worship. And under Muslim control.
The Christian record is far more troubling. The Crusades unleashed a torrent of hatred directed at non-Christians, spurred by the new teaching that "killing for Christ
I agree with a few other people on here that this movie could have been so much more. How could scott been so blind to cast orlando bloom with the lead?.
Brilliant movie. Kind of sad after reading allot of comments and reviews that some of you are so blinded by the hypocrisy of your own beliefs.
Sad, really, that some of you missed the whole point of the movie.
