Kingdom of Heaven

Pros: Excellent (extraodinary) production values, photography, effects, and acting.  Very impressive historical drama.
Cons: Lots of blood and violence.  Requires sitzfliesch.  (Also fudges some historical details.)

KINGDOM OF HEAVEN (2005) is another historical spectacular by Ridley Scott, who brought us GLADIATOR and many other big dramas, so we expect a lot - and are not disappointed.  This movie deals with the ugly events that occurred between the end of ...

Pros: Story, supporting cast, moral
Cons: Bloom weak in lead, score sounds recycled

Kingdom of Heaven (2005) Ridley Scott has made a passel of excellent movies and the Kingdom of Heaven is another in that long line that began with Alien, Blade Runner, Thelma and Louise, Gladiator, and continued through many more until ...

Pros: Epic Storyline, Superb characters, unmatched action sequences, and a relatively happy ending
Cons: Historical Inaccuracy

When I first saw "Kingdom of Heaven" I'll admit that I was rather skeptical. Medieval History being my obsession I approached fully expecting to find a miriad of historical errors and an overall poor film. However, I was to be pleasantly surprised. ...

Pros: Director's Cut = great story, beautiful cinematography, good acting, great effects
Cons: Theatrical Cut = mediocre story, beautiful cinematography, lackluster acting, great effects

I don’t remember it, but apparently there was some pretty big controversy over Director Ridley Scott’s epic about the Crusades, Kingdom of Heaven. With the success of other historical dramas, Scott planned an epic on the Crusades. ...

Pros: An educational movie.
Cons: I did not find any.

If you are a person who likes Braveheart and Gladiator, here is another DVD that you need to see. I am talking about the Kingdom of Heaven. The Kingdom of Heaven dates back to the time of the first crusades. Orlando Bloom’s character is the son of a ...

Pros: Scenery and cinematography
Cons: Incredibly long speeches that amount to nothing but a yawn or three

I kind of have strong feelings about this one or I wouldn't be the 35th person to review it. Old Jerusalem had a siege, ee-ei-ee-ei-oh; with a fight fight here and a speech speech there, her a speech here a fight every where a speech fight ...

Pros: Gleeson, Irons, Neeson, Bloom (most of the time), some parts of the script...
Cons: ... Eva Green, uninvolving characters...

Kingdom of Heaven is a rather interesting film from Director Ridley Scott, but ultimately I found it rather uninspiring. It follows the journey of a young Blacksmith named Balian (Orlando Bloom), who turns out to be a Crusader Knight’s ...

Pros: Genre, Plot, History, Set, Scene, Supporting Casts, Eva Green, Heroine, Religion, Racism, Character, Sexuality
Cons: Bit

Ridley Scott’s “Kingdom of Heaven,” begin in 12th century France. A well-known knight Baron Godfrey of Ibelin (Liam Neeson) returns home from battle in the first of Crusade.He rides horse accompanying by eight others. He is here ...

Pros: Exceptional video, Better storyline, Actor performances, Gorgeous backgrounds, Many 3-D effects
Cons: Virtually no Special Features

Hello again! I'm back to review another in my collection of Blu-Ray Disc's and this time it's Ridley Scott's epic "Kingdom of Heaven: Director's Cut". And, the best part, is that it's been released in the high-def Blu-Ray Disc format. The Flick ...

Pros: Everything!!!!!
Cons: Too long for the incontinent.

Make no mistake; Kingdom of Heaven is an incredible movie. True, it may not, as some say, be factually accurate to what we know of the crusades but what we know isn’t very precise. There were no real chroniclers of the events that unfolded. What ...

Pros: Graphics, acting
Cons: Difficult to follow, weak storyline. Could not connect with characters

Unable to afford the high price of movie tickets, I highly anticipated this movie being available on cable. Finally, last night, the time had come. What I thought was going to be a highly-detailed historical endeavor turned out to be somewhat of a ...

Pros: the acting, plot, and action are great, but the message and relevance are even better
Cons: theatrical version hurt it, too many cynical review by others, length not for the timid

I was finally able to buy the Director's Cut edition of "Kingdom of Heaven". This is a great movie that deserves better than the ratings that it has received. A lot better. So sit tight because I have a lot to share about it. PLOT: It has been a ...

Pros: Bloom, Irons, Neeson, and Scotts brilliant camera work!
Cons: the story can drag just a during the first half.

During a period when tensions are high (for obvious reasons!) between Muslims and Christians, I'm surprised Ridley Scott ever got the backing to produce a film like this. Set in the 11th Century between the first and second crusades, Scott, ...

Pros: stylish and visually rich
Cons: historically flawed

“If this is the kingdom of heaven, let God do with it as he wishes” so spoke Balian of Iberlin during his defence of the city of Jerusalem, unfortunately it is Ridley Scott and not god who calls the shots here. Ridley Scott does have an impressive back ...

Pros: Orlando Bloom, Liam Neeson, David Thewlis, Marton Csokas, Ridley Scott, music score by Gregson-Williams
Cons: savagely cut for summer audiences

Kingdom of Heaven directed by Ridley Scott has been given a raw deal by those who have given far too much credence to early reviews and guess'timations based solely on the premise that Orlando is too young to take a leading role. More than half the early ...
