Kingdom of Heaven

woah! soo may convos at once! What was your favourite part of the movie? i liked when they were building the well and how he made every able bodied man a knight! 😱

There were a few very obvious mistakes about the Islamic faith in the movie. In fact they could be easily corrected.But I do not understand why they are omitted.
And I still find it rubbish for a blacksmith to be so capable; he was a wonderful engineer,warrior,commander,farmer and a little doctor with his wide infection knowledge.
By the way, the character of Salahaddin was in a very little part of the film. For me, he could be seen more in the movie.

I think Saladin was depticted as more of a "force of nature" in this film, neither 'good' nor 'evil', whatever the Christians do he'll be taking back Jerusalem with his 100,000 warriors. And that's probably what the director wanted. In Balian you had the hero you were rooting for. In Guy you had the villain you hated. In Saladin you had a character that you wanted to be rooting against because he was fighting Balian but you ended up liking him because of how honorable he was. It was probably a conscious decision on Ridley's part not to include too much of Salah Al Din because if he did, people would probably start going for him instead of Balian and he couldn't have that.

😐 thats a great explanation! 😱 couldnt hav said it better meself!

It was alright. The beginning was somewhat confusing, but it got on track once it got going.

yes.... i wonder where they put his wives head...

i'd prefer not to think about that 😐

I think they needed to stick to the book more. it was alright it could of been better

That was about the coolest role i have ever seen edward norton in

erm WTF when was edward norton in it?

btw its silly to compare this movie to troy or gladiator because it wasnt an action film it was a drama piece about the nature of organised religion and religious beliefs... rationality vs extremism...

Edward Norton is the King who has skin cancer. Man you really gotta listen to his voice if you dont know that the King who had the skin cancer is Edward Norton

Wonderful! I finally saw the Directors cut DVD yesterday and I was quite in love with the film. Ridley Scott did a decent job. The score of the film had both muslim and christian themes. Made the drama more intense and more emotional. Might give it a full review later. A well done work by Scott.

Not to sound all correcting, but the King Baldwin had leprosy, not skin cancer.

I don't know if I necessarily ENJOYED the movie. It was difficult to get into it, you know. I loved Eva Green, Edward Norton, and the guy that plays Saladin. Orlando did well in his performance, I think. It wasn't AMAZING, but I liked it.

What I really want to see is the extended version of the film. It is supposed to be really great. The original has the POTENTIAL to be a great movie, and I think that will be illustrated in the extended version.

But i heard the sex scene isn't extended. DAMN IT!!!!

This movie was okay, not bad. I'm just getting tired of all these movies that use Peter Jackson's LOTR hand me downs. 😬
