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.
watchable..thinking what movie to watch during this time in the theater, this one would solve that issue.
Duller audiences will find it boring and run out of the theather. But those with a higher level of interests will be greatly entertained. Though some of the portryals were inacurate, none the less the movie did show how People misuse religion for their own evil deeds. If only accurate historical facts and stores could be presented at this scale. :D
Outstanding, couldn`t ask for a more compelling and enjoyable movie about history. Action, what more could you ask for, than the director of Gladiator to do action sequences. Story makes the movie good, action helps. Hats off to the scott brothers, best directors out there.
This movie was a masterpiece, very accurate, fantastic acting , splendid sets and awesome costumes, i have never watched a movie silently in my life , i have always talked but this one just kept me focused, very impressive piece of work , i found it better then gladiator, worth every penny even though i didnt pay for the ticket but i will take my family n watch it again.
And amazing movie, and after I did some research it is very close to actual factual history. It`s only fault was that the plot was hard to follow if you did not know much of the history, They offered very little background history to the story. However, it was a great movie and the supporting cast was excellent. And, of course, Orlando Bloom was looking as good as ever.
I found this film to be typical Hollywood. It`s not a bad thing if thats what you came to see. Lots of battle, blood, guts, a steamy romance, a guy in the year 1184 with modern religous views and you get the ending you want. Would I ever see it again? No. Did I enjoy it? Sure. Why not. Its Hollywood baby Yah. If you were looking for something historically correct, go look somewere else.
This movie was absolutly brilliant , Orlando did a great job!! it made history look so interesting! Overall this movie is DEFINALTLY WORTH SEEING!!!! ( you`ll love as much as me and im 14!)
No story line. HORRIBLE. Anyone who voted more than one star for this movie must be a teenage boy who is quite content paying 10 bucks to watch people run around with swords for 2 hours. WASTE OF MONEY.
This was an exceptional movie. I haven`t seen one this good in a while. All of you who said that this movie was boring and you had to walk out should stick to watching your usual type of useless movies like Hitch. Anyone who is remotely interested in great portrayals of history with excellent acting, should see this movie...
Not worth the time or money. Don’t be fooled by studio hacks that get paid to frequent sites like this and write glowing reviews. I wouldn’t even rent it when it comes out on DVD.
Good, story not very believable though
DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE TRAILER AND THE REVIEWS. This movie is horrible, really bad. The story was never "focused" and Orlando was definitely a wrong pick. The movie starts ok, then the story goes nowhere for the next hour where it is extremely boring. The ending doesn`t "feel" like an end. Overall, the film was a disappointment, and only worthy of a DVD rental. Trust Me.
Horrible, full of bullshit and lies. It is like justifying what Hitler did in the two world wars or justifying what happened in Rwanda.Simply pathetic. Crusader were barbarians, who slaughtered Muslims, Jews and even Christains and that is the truth. Unfortunately for certian people history cannot be altered. Justifying and portraying such horrible deeds as heroic acts is disgusting. I would advised the viewers to take this movies as an opportunity of finding the correct facts and see the truth behind the barbaric acts of the templars.
Discover Channel stuff, not a theater material. BOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRING! I walked out.
save your money, this movie is not even worth downloading for free.
Good movie, but all Hollywood. I just wish they would make a movie historically correct. Enough with trying to please everybody. If you are going to make a movie on history or a historical topic, do not be politically correct. Effects, cinematography, music, etc.... All very good along with the acting. 7 stars out of 10.
excellent movie. it rocks!!!!
Incredible Movie... excellent performance by all.
i had to walk out it was uncaptivating
I don`t know why they spent millions making this turkey when all they could have done was super-impose Orlando Bloom`s face over Russell Crowe`s in The Gladiator with some fancy software and a laptop computer.
