  Gratuitous violence, weak plot
  
  At least the photography was good. But we gave up on this film about a third of the way in. The graphic brutality (while historically accurate) may have been ... read more »

  Excellent soundtrack
  
  It was a watchable film. I was slightly confused with who exactly was who when the fighting was going on? I thought the soundtrack was excellent.

  An epic bore!
  
  To make an epic worth the money spent on the battle scenes, you need interesting characters. On this measure, Kingdom of Heaven fails miserably.
