Advantages: Great Cast and Great Story

Disadvantages: Slow start

I was at first reluctant to see Kingdom of Heaven. Being a fan of films such as Troy and Alexander I feared that it might not live up to my expectations. However this film is compulsive viewing for those with little knowledge of the crusades or lots of it.
I personally knew very little but loved the story of Kingdom of Heaven. A classic tale of a grieving, lost knight facing a battle of unbelievably high odds and coming through it all with glory and honour.

I have to say I was suprised at the performance of Orlando Bloom, who excells himself as the brooding and "perfect" knight Balian. I was not sure about his ability to hold a leading role before Kingdom of Heaven, but I now think he may become one of the greats.

Jeremy Irons and Liam Neeson also feature and manage to deliver spectacular performances in the little time they have.

I story that will make you smile and cry, Kingdom of Heaven is an awesome film, with action packed battles and complex emotional scenes. Congratulations Mr. Ridley Scott on another successful blockbuster

Summary: For lovers of action and epic movies

Suprisingly watchable film here. Nice to learn the history of the region.
