What a great history lesson Jess and I had this evening as we sat through the 2+ hours of Ridley Scott’s “Kingdom of Heaven” (Rated R). I don’t know of any other movie that depicts the history of the Christian Crusades against the Muslims and the Muslim overthrow of Jerusalem some 800 years ago.
Amazing imagery, amazing acting, and plot all made this movie a great one.
The extras on Disc 2 are lacking, if you ask me, so I assume that another release will follow this one with more “special features”.
I’m glad we rented this one instead of bought it – mainly because I have a lot of the “Epics” and this one, while great, doesn’t make it to my Top 5 list quite yet.
Also – is anyone else tired of Orlando Bloom acting in EVERYTHING?
