a powerfully written script and masterful performance..reminiscent of Richard Burton in El Cid.
Orlando i love your acting
Great Movie. the director knew what he was doing and knew the history very well. The movie was awsome. Everything was perffect.
average , but at the least Islam was correctly potrayed ! and I think hollywood had not choice cater to muslims viewers as muslims now are 1.3 billion in the world part of the audiences and it make a different , if it is not , good ! next time , like to see Islam in greatness , got it !
This movie was great, I realy liked how it ended made things more beleivable. It truly showed how religion and politics actually worked for there own benefit. It goes to show you how corrupted they are and at what length they will try to distroy a good thing.
Yes....a new Ridley Scott film. He is perhaps one of the best film directors in the past two decades. It`s exciting to watch his movies, and this one marks his most risky picture to date. Of course it`s not perfect, but there`s more good in it, than negative ideas. It`s awesome!!!!! Check it out!!!!
Execellent production and movie director. It reflects great qualities of Islam,and selected good people from the crusaders
a real depection for that period of time.
this movie was good unless you dislike; type-casting, bad directing/editing, horribly choriographed battles that look like bad lotr rip-offs, and the glorifying of an age that ruined our world. :D
Average movie. Good visuals but a VERY inaccurate portayal that some people might think is factual. And therein is the problem...
A GREAT peice of work!!!
It was a good movie but if you dont know the history of the crusades and Jerusalem you will have a hard time understanding what`s happening.
This was a really really good movie and unlike most hollywood movies this one was historically correct.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
The overall story was very flawed, and was missing alot of info. For someone who doesn`t know the crusade story will probobly be dazed and confused about this movie. Scott can make a very beautiful movie though, and I also liked Eva Green in this movie, very good performance. I hope to see her in other movies
Great Movie!
This movie was awesome I understood it competely, and some people i were near wouldn`t shut up. The acting and directiing was extremely well done. I wabt to see it again. The war scenes were not over used and the amount of blood was realistic, I loved the whole experince... Perfect way to spend a night.
I,for one,loved this movie so much that I have seen it twice.Bloom was OK but the cinematography was amazing and the story had multiple layers of depth that I find missing in most movies these days .This is one that I will buy when it comes out on DVD
THIS MOVIE HAS NO PLOT!!! OH MY GOD. This was the BIGGEST waste of $13 (plus $9.78 for popcorn and beverage) and 140 minutes I have ever spent at a movie theatre. It was one of the most boring and pointless and PLOTLESS (Plot and Story are 2 different things) pieces of "Donkey-Twaddle" that I have ever seen. The only half decent part of it, was the end battle at Jerusalem which VERY closely resembled the Battle For Middle-Earth in Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King. The ONLY moral that is possibly a part of the reason this movie was made, is to show just how arrogant and pointless religion is. Considering that the main character (Orla
Really good. Not biased.
Balian is a great role for Orlando Bloom compared to Legolas and Paris. Sybilla comes across as an enigma, difficult to like or understand. I can`t berate the picture if I don`t like the female lead, but wouldn`t like the historical Sybilla if I met her on the street either. You get the impression that the story is a bit too PC, but perhaps it was accurate. Baldwin and Balian wanted peace; Guy and Raynald were troublemakers and unpopular with the king. For the most part this play is true; but in some cases history is stranger, deeper than the fiction. The story rings with the irony of doing violence in God`s name in one of the world`s holiest
What a waste of $11.00!
Excellent movie; great costumes, good acting, fairly accurate plot, beautiful visuals, good story. In a sense I think its one of the best movies this year, eventhough I get the feeling that something is missing in this movie. I mean Orlando Bloom isn`t Russel Crowe or Mel Gibson, I think thats the issue here. I`m glad history wasn`t altered and King Baldwin IV and Saladin were portrayed wonderfully. 5 stars even with Orlando Bloom is in it, I just cant think of any other young actor suited for the role. good to go.
really confusing... i didnt know what was going on, who was who... it was so confusing.
It was an awesome movie, very accurate , good costumes and beautiful sets, loved every minute of it and i would reccomend everyone to watch it , begins a little slow but kicks in gear within the first 45 mins to an hour, excellent job by the director and the cast.
Well done, beautifully shot, good acting. Bloom comes of age. Nice to see the muslims portrayed as the victims they were...
Not all what we see in the story true ,same in the book`s!!
FINALLY, a movie where Orlando Bloom doesn`t look like a helpless, blubbering fool (Troy anyone?). The acting, the costumes, the scenery...this is a highly enjoyable movie! It may be a little slow at times for some but it is definately more than worth it to stick around. I`m so going again!
What a great epic.The visuals were stunning, the acting was fantastic. This movie was a joy to watch.I was carried away to another world for a couple of hours.See it on the big screen. Whow!!
Finally, some justice!
i really enjoyed it, great battles and a touching story, tho the romance in it was not explored and some one on one sword fights would have been a huge help, added a more dramatic touch to some of the characters, if they personally meet in battle instead of mindless hordes slaughtering one another. i thought it was a really good movie, i`ll wait for the dvd but will see it again
I loved this movie so much!!!
Could have been a good movie, story was okay. The movie was mis-cast, and the scrpit was weak.
This is a terrific movie. Covers a period of history that we knew very little about.
two tumbs up!! good film for pluralism society
The creation of atmostphere was excellent however, the poor written story plot failed the whole movie! Generally speaking, it was highly confusing and unfortunately it dimmed the efforts of the whole cast.
This movie was very good. But unfortunatly, I found it kind of hard to get into it. It seemed like everything was happening to fast, it was hard to really feel for the characters. However, it was a good and accurate story with good acting. I aslo thought the battle would be much longer, it was just "ok". Definatly room for improvement, but still a good movie. 4 Stars.
Great movie, and the comments below all the bad ones, look like they come from the same person who has too much time on their hands, Go see it, the first unbiased movie I have seen yet.
It was more philosophical and required people to use thier minds for once. If you want to experience something incredible watch this film.
Movie is eye candy to watch! Sure it was horrible how the innocent people were slaughtered, all in the name of Power, but this is what happenened centuries ago and is even happening today! I love the costumes, fight scenes, etc. I think everyone did a superb job in the movie.
