Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.
Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
denis888 Ridley Scott made an obvious mistake here. I watched this film long time ago. What I got from seeing this drool, was a sour feeling of being bored. I have tried the Director's Cut. My. Three excruciating hours of utter doom. Everything is wrong in this movie -the cast, with Orlando Bloom being the worst offender, and Eva Green little more than an average bore. The setting, with its awful false tonality, epic mediocrity and inescapable feeling of clichés. We saw this all before time and again. Why suffer this horrid boredom-fest, which never rises above dull or gray. My, even such awesome stars as Liam Neeson or Jeremy Irons could be so miserable and so flat as here. Battle scenes? Only if you didn't watch much better Lord Of The Rings fights. Love story. Come on, boring trite banality. On top of that all, terrible plot holes, jumps and a cream of the crop - ;laughable accents that make you cringe. Truly, a crime of a film
Elijah This movie is one of the many movies that try to discredit religions by showing characters who don't understand religions and are full of doubts as a consequence. The movie doesn't attempt to explore their doubts but just leave them be. Furthermore it portrays Christians as religious fanatics and Muslims as much more peaceful than what is historically accurate. In fact, this movie strays so far from real history that it disappoints me how Hollywood is full of people who have jumped on the left-wing bandwagon. They twist the truth in order to appeal to generation snowflake. These people and mainstream media are a major part of the reasons why so many young people have been brainwashed. The characters are way too predictable and are not at all complex. The plot and lines are so cheesy that I felt embarrassed when I was watching it. Nevertheless, this movie has good graphics. Eva green is really attractive.
Adriano_Galliani For two weeks now I've been completely obsessed by this movie. I'm not even a fan of these epic, historical titles, but just as Gladiator, this movie is anything but.Sure, it could be easily mistaken for one as it offers stunning visuals, historical facts and names, but straying from real events wasn't just in the way to make movie great - its more about facing the mistakes and learning a lesson.While it could be seen as anti-Christian and in some ways even pro-Islamic, that cant be further from the truth - for most part, Crusades were a farce, only few of them were there for a right reasons after all, and this movie points that clearly. Yes, it does portrait Great Saladin as this calm and tolerant leader, but it features some lot less too, and we see that he promised to conquer Jerusalem again, he even receives a threats to do so or else..So don't be confused - its one thing to criticize Crusades and other entire Christianity, which in no case is happening here.What else this movie offers? This incredible dreamscape of Kingdom of Heaven, a place to find yourself, your believes, your destiny! It showcases all these great mysteries of life and ideas of solving problems. From romance to courage, from honor to principles, it just works in deep, deep layers and it works days later after you watched movie.Soundtrack is just as brilliant, and listening to it afterwards just making you to go back to the movie.Casting wise, there's no mistake here, and Liam Neeson, Edvard Norton and Eva Green are on spot here. Heck, I even found respect for Bloom - hes doing just fine and one cant deny hes handsome and attractive.This is experience that you either will understand or you wont, its as simple as that. It works great as movie, but for me it goes a lot further than that - into this great possibility for eventual happier ending for Kingdom of Heaven. Its all about it - a place for everyone who are willing to accept everything and free will to decide it.
cordell-42701 Kingdom of Heaven is not a movie I would normally consider when picking a movie to watch, however, my friend saw it and decided to watch it so I joined him. I am so glad that I did. The scenic shots were amazing and the battle scenes were breathtaking. The story line was enjoyable however I feel that it got very convoluted and extremely difficult to follow about half way in. For example You have no idea what condition causes the king of Israels problems until you are almost done watching the movie. Nothing was added to the film by keeping that from the audience except that it leaves the audience in confusion for many parts of the movie. The plot was a little too complicated. Maybe it was just me but I feel like the movie jumped around in terms of focus way to often and with too much intensity. Besides those points the film was enjoyable. As an audience member you really begin to take the side of the protagonist even when you sometimes feel like you do not need to. I understand that a point like that is something almost every movie contains but it felt especially compelling here. All in all I did enjoy the film even with its one significant downfall.
