Kingdom of Heaven (2005) - Review
OK, the movie was entertaining enough to make it not a waste of time. It's protaganist, Orlando Bloom as a French blacksmith, takes an interesting perspective: He manages to not really take sides in a conflict (the 3rd crusade) that must have been at least as divisive as any. But the whole thing just didn't work for me.
Maybe it was that this viewing was sandwiched between Sunset Blvd. and Fanny and Alexander, two films inarguably among the greatest ever made. Maybe it was my aversion to digital tricks; digital scenery always disappoints.
For whatever reason, I can recommend this film to you only if you love Orlando Bloom. (Ebert disagrees with me.)
