Jesus sooo bad!!! But the end of the movie is quite good just a little ... Spoiler: Without training, the blacksmith will be a professional swordsman and then a fearless warrior. It would have been at least a few years of training ... In theJesus sooo bad!!! But the end of the movie is quite good just a little ... Spoiler: Without training, the blacksmith will be a professional swordsman and then a fearless warrior. It would have been at least a few years of training ... In the end, instead of a completely unambiguous solution, in the name of some imagined purity (holiness), he successfully - indirectly - successfully sends all the knights to their deaths. But no problem, then the commoners will become knights as he became and they will definitely become great warriors without training XXXDDD Expand

Ridley Scott should take lessons in how to use action scenes to aid character development from Peter Jackson. 'Kingdom' drags to a crawl too often. The only effective scenes in 'Kingdom of Heaven' are the siege scenes Ridley Scott should take lessons in how to use action scenes to aid character development from Peter Jackson. 'Kingdom' drags to a crawl too often. The only effective scenes in 'Kingdom of Heaven' are the siege scenes you've already seen in L.O.R. Overall, a 'Kingdom' of a disappointment. Expand

Watch the directors cut. I saw kingdom of heavens when it was release in the cinemas and was very disappointed.

I don't know why everybody likes this movie. The story line sucks, the acting is wood, and the action scenes are not up for the task. It is way over rated so I think 5 is very generous for it.

Literally put me to sleep. First hour plods along at snails pace - plot is disjointed and the scripting is bland.

This movie never really moved. It never climaxed or ended. The movie sequence and lack of acting skills(notwithstanding Liam) just kep this film at a monotone pace. Very disappointing!

Produced on a grand scale, Kingdom of Heaven is a lumbering sometimes confusing spectacle. Surely, the fortune spent on it could have been used to finance a dozen scripts more worthy of coming to the screen. Orlando Bloom, while giving a Produced on a grand scale, Kingdom of Heaven is a lumbering sometimes confusing spectacle. Surely, the fortune spent on it could have been used to finance a dozen scripts more worthy of coming to the screen. Orlando Bloom, while giving a generally decent performance, is way out of his depth here and not capable of carrying the film. Expand

The best version of this film is the Directors Cut. Its adds 45 mins extra and is worth every second. Directors cut is a 10/10. This version misses too much and spoils the navative.

Fairly plodding and confused, visually impressive but dramatically unsatisfying.

Also the siege of Jerusalem was nicely done and there are popular actors. The effects are very good, many pictures are beautiful and the details are great thanks to a big budget.

But I dont like Orlando Bloom, here, he is somehow not sympathetic. His character Balian was also a bit unrealistic, boring and annoying, because it is so one-sided shiny. In addition he was a blacksmith, then farmer, general and fighter...suddenly and without years of training, what a joke. Overall most of the characters were superficial and one-sided, only Saladin was interesting and grey. The story is just average and could have more details.
