Kingdom of Heaven

Pros: …
Cons: …

There are some movies that I would never consider getting in a million years. Kingdom of Heaven is one such movie. However, my mother rented it one night figuring that I might like it. I figured that at the very least, I’d get a review out of it, ...

Pros: The acting, and plot and what not.
Cons: A little confusing.

I saw Kingdom of Heaven with a girl. That does make me wonder if I only liked it because of the emotion I was feeling for her during our viewing. After considering this, I gave the film some objective thought. Yeah, it's pretty good. However, this ...

Pros: musical score
Cons: historical inaccuracies, Orlando Bloom, Eva Green, special effects, storyline

The onslaught of television advertisements in recent days touting the release of Ridley Scott’s potential summer blockbuster, Kingdom of Heaven, give its audience the impression as though the film should be perceived as a sequel of sorts to the ...

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: religious aspect of plot
Cons: lumbering, seen-it-before war effects

I no longer get excited when it comes to long epic/war movies, and those who've seen many of the recent ones probably, like me, go into each subsequent adventure with a chip of skepticism on their shoulder. I was kinder than most in my non-recommendation ...

Pros: Orlando Bloom, both sides of the story are presented somewhat fairly
Cons: Somewhere I missed the connection, some of the characters are shallow, its 2.5 hours.

I get it--and it doesn't take a two and half hour movie to tell me. This movie was cinematically perfect, lovely camera work, nice battle scenes, and great acting, but the story is lacking and I ended up wondering what was it all for? This will be one ...

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: 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: Exilerating battles, superb performances by a few veteran actors, historically unbias.
Cons: battles nothing too new, historical inaccuracies here and there, Orlando Bloom.

I actually just returned from this movie less than four hours ago. In fact, I am pulling an all-nighter just to write this novel, so be grateful. Thank You Red Bull. Ahem. Let me begin by stating that if they hadn't reduced the price of movies in ...

Pros: impressive visuals, interesting story
Cons: Orlando Bloom's acting, too long, excellent cast nearly unexploited

It is no mystery that Ridley Scott loves to make historical epics. After Gladiator and Black Hawk Down, Scott decided to make a film on the Holy Crusades and the result is Kingdom of Heaven. The film's main star is Orlando Bloom who plays Balian, the ...

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: Norton, Neeson, and Bloom; art design, cinematography, editing
Cons: everything else (the film holds no interest)

Watch the trailer for "Kingdom of Heaven". You'll see balls of fire flying through the air. You'll see handsome-looking men fighting valiantly. You'll see siege towers fall in the midst of an epic battle. You'll see some mysterious, enticing-looking ...

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: 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: 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 ...
