Most helpful review Kingdom Of Heaven

  • GREAT FILM FANTASTIC ACTION

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By David Hewkin from YORKSHIRE ENGLAND , 08 May 2005

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    This film host a star studed cast

    and the film lives up to this. The effects especially the battle scenes are without doubt out of this world. The story/plot is both acceptable and understandable.From the start it is gripping and holds your attention straight away ( avoid the toilet dash) whilst two and a half hours long it seems like one hour.Without disclosing the plot the movie portrays the battle between the various religeous nominations and the fight for the control of Jerusalem. A good portrail of the religeous beliefs but also the need and rights to control. overall two many key performances too mention ( eNglish fans watch for SPIDER from coronation street)

    Was really looking forward to this but found it to be very slow, even boring! Kept wanting it to get better and pick up the pace but it never did.

  • surprisingly good!

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    quite surprised that this was really good after reading the oh so many bad reviews about it!

    Orlando Bloom was better than I expected, the sets, locations & the story was Ridley Scott at his best.

    Didn't know too much about the Crusades if I'm honest but know a little more now & will be watching more about them. The main thing this shows is the tragic loss of life for a cause that many thought was their own but really it seemed just a few simple minded men were vying for power - but isn't that always the case.

    This film concludes my Ridley Scott film quest as I've seen all his films now - not disappointed with any of them!!

  • Not so good

    Rated - 1.5 stars

    Very flat and boring. The only good thing about this movie was it starred Eva Green in. Ok so i'm a fan and this was the only reason i watched it but still i wouldn't reccommend this film to anyone unless they have trouble sleeping.

  • Watch the Director's Cut

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By majortim (10 reviews) from Birmingham , 17 Apr 2012
    Only the stunning cinematography, art direction and wonderful supporting turns (particularly Saladin) save this from the gaping vacuum at the centre that is Orlando Bloom. Theological trite, it wants to say something about faith but never really dares to confront the real meaning of religious fanaticism. Having said that, the Director's Cut is considerably better.

  • Ridley Scott is a genius

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By gianino (618 reviews) from London , 25 Mar 2012
    However, this is not one of his best movies. It gets a bit boring and flat in the end and you tend to forget what you are watching. The cast and the photography are very good but the plot is a bit messy, Orlando Bloom is quite sexy here :)
