I finally got around to watching this one. Brett Greer panned it and most people who have seen it say it is a bit of a letdown. I am not overly enthusiastic about it either.
Kingdom of Heaven fails because it ends in a happy ending. it isn't about honor at all. The guy ends up back home with his woman, and they live happily ever after in obscurity. Meanwhile, the movie pretty much sums up what the Crusades and the Middle East crap of today is all about--fanatics jousting over stones and real estate. But hey, at least the guy wasn't eviscerated like Mel Gibson in Braveheart.
It is a notch below Troy which means it is watchable.
Out.
