Kingdom of Heaven

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: 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: visually stunning, dramatic, with great performances and a top-shelf script
Cons: long, surprisingly short on action and sex, complicated resolutions

This is a beautifully written, well-directed film - with great performances and a story worth telling. After 9/11, it had looked like we'd be up to our gills in fascist cinema - all a series of ruminations on the joys of revenge and shadow fights with ...

Pros: Deep, multi layered, interesting characters, fantastic battles, great acting
Cons: Can't see none

Few genres appeal to me so much as the epic does. I love drama, and I love big action. The epic combines these two loves and basically puts them on steroids. Many of them rank among my favorite films of all time, including Spartacus, Braveheart and of ...

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: 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 ...

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: 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: 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: Perfect casting and script and detail in the sets and costumes; thought provoking.
Cons: Not for those requiring 100% accuracy in historical characters over effective presentation of historical events.

I just watched the movie Kingdom of Heaven on DVD rental, all the while regretting having missed it on the big screen. I had intended to see it in the theater but decided to wait until it came to video because of some reviews I had read. Big mistake. ...

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: 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: 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: Great mindless fun
Cons: Main character (Balian) totally misrepresented ... lots of other historical inaccuracies.

The Crusades, particularly their Middle Eastern phase (1099-1291), were a fascinating period. They were a textbook example of religion gone bad (something it’s genetically prone to), especially when directed against other Christians (“kill them all; god ...

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 ...
