The fillm explores an era in history that is not commonly portrayed on the big screen. It does a great job of showing how the beliefs and values of the crusaders who ventured to the Holy Land changed as time went on.
The story was very well done, the settings and costumes were great! The action scenes were very exciting and there were a lot of great battle scenes.
Whether you enjoy history or you just enjoy action this was a great movie to watch. You're eyes will be glued to the screen the entire time!In true Ridley Scott fashion.... - NakedMoose
Another Ridley Scott masterpiece with breathtaking cinematography, a moving soundtrack and a great story set in the 11th C AD (during the period of the Crusades). Not for the weak of heart, the fight/battle scenes are in true Ridley Scott fashion - gory but not overdone. The siege on Jerusalem, though, is something else, as it gives you a realistic depiction of ancient siege warfare (and for those historical buffs, check out The Pilgrim's Guide for a treat on historical facts and figures).
The portrayals of Balian (Orlando Bloom) and Godfrey (Liam Neeson) are also memorable with Godfrey as the consummate teacher and Balien as a reluctant hero, who when all is said and done, prefers to live the honest and simple life.
If you want an entertaining movie where you can sit back but also learn a little bit about ancient times, you'll enjoy this movie!really good! - josh2
I was surprised at how good this movie was. The plot, story line, and acting was all very good. One thing to remember tho is that this movie is a movie, and not a historical account of what really happen. Even tho some historical facts were not mentioned or changed it was still fairly accurate. Unlike Alexander the long parts without action weren't boring, mainly due to the good script and acting. I highly recommend this movie since it wa really good!
