Kingdom of Heaven

Is it better than:

Troy?
Alexander?
Braveheart?

It's on par with Troy.

Never seen Alexander, but the people I went to the movies with tonight said Kingdom of Heaven was better.

Braveheart was infinitely better.

Uh-oh...I thought Troy was shit...

Oh, well some people thought it was better, this is merely my opinion.

yea id agree with this, although i think troys a bit more hollywood and some people might like it better cause it maybe moves a bit quicker.

and the alexander and braveheart parts are correct too

Far superior to last year's Troy, King Arthur and Alexander and up there with Gladiator. Ridley Scott has returned and saved the swords and sandals epics.

Saw it last night! Thought it was equally great to Gladiator, but I'll agree that it was no where near as good as Braveheart. I doubt it has a chance at Best Picture next year because Cinderella Man is supposed to be great. But it was Orlando Bloom's best performance, by a long shot. Wouldn't you agree?

Ya probobly his best I've only seen him in LoTR, Troy, and KoH, and he dose best in KoH, I love this movie, it's much better then Troy, it's almust as good as Gladiator, and thats saying alot, this is acturly one of my fav movies to come out in years! it truly shows that Ridley knows his stuff when it comes to epic film making

this wasnt clost to gladiator the story was too f'd up and the character development was poor

Just saw it and I thought it was good but not great. The middle part just dragged on for way too long and really didn't go anywhere. The actual siege of Jerusalem was amazing though, one of the best battle scenes I've seen in a movie, and it was quite long at that.

orlando bloom was a poor casting choice.. This isnt a biased remark either.

I don't think he was poorly cast, I just think his character was poorly written.

i agree with cal i think orlando actually did a good job with a poor character

Orlando did pretty well, not good, not bad.

It was the narrative and character development, and very bad writing that hurt the movie.

I think orlando bloom was changing. Sometimes he did a great job and sometimes not so good. On and off. It took a while to get into. I saw it today. I'd give the first half 6/10 and the second half 8/10.

Guh! I knew messing with the original story would mess up this movie. It's still better than Troy though. And nowhere near as good as Braveheart.

I saw it again on Sunday night and now that I've seen it again, I will say it wasn't as great as Gladiator was. However it was a very decent movie. Some parts were a bit of a mess, though, and the audience didn't understand a lot of the ending. One very negative thing about it was the character development. Like Sybila and all those men in the beginning. That was the only bad thing about the movie. But, it is a movie I would see again and probably buy on DVD.

You'll have to admit, the action was pretty damn sweet!!

The part where Balian steps on that one guys neck and snaps it was awesome.

The end battle had some pretty smart moves!

It was ok, but definately not in league with Ridley Scott's masterpiece, Gladiator. And Troy sucked along with Alexander.

The only thing about Orlando Bloom is that his facial expressions are always the same, his father is dieing and he doesnt even frown or lose a tear, he needs to go back to acting school and learn to show emotion besides that he did a pretty good job. But lets get serious this movie was not on par wit gladiator, it didnt develop very well mostly because there was to much story to tell and not enough time to tell it in. Personally i think Ridley Scott was overwhelmed for this one, he could of payed more attention to how they defended the city rather than wht they were defending it, it seems like it most epic movies lately their concentrating to much on sending messages to the audience about society today and war instead of maknig a good movie. i give it 2 1/2 stars.

The storyline of Kingdom of Heaven was a bit pathetic, i dont know what but something just seemed a bit off about it but the battles and killing and stuff were all very cool so i'm glad i went to see it.
