A young man who is wanted for murder joins the crusades. I thought this would be another 'Troy' with a good cast and director but the story was lame and I gave up watching half way through. Sorry Orly.
Beautifully shot in Ridley Scott's sweeping style, rich in cinematic detail. I am looking forward to watching the Director's Cut, to see the film as was originally intended - a meditation on religion and history as opposed to a battle-heavy action adventure.

Better than I expected. Specially good the pair of brothers (the king and his sister). Jeremy Irons always acts good, but itīs not the best role for him. Good setting, visual display and peopleīs characteristics.

Kingdom of Heaven is another historical epic developed by Ridley Scott with a quiet dull add on of battle sequences and characters. B+: Really good.
