Saw "Kingdom of Heaven" this weekend. It was a long, long, slow movie - nicely filmed. Orlando was fun to look at and acted welll enough, but he still has a long long way to go to be a "Leading Man". Way too much fighting, although the use of so many medieval weapons was a bit interesting. Hardly saw Liam Neesom - who really is a Leading Man!! This film lacked the spark ( any spark) needed to impress the audience. It's a 2 & 1/2 hour History Lesson that shows how futile religious wars really are. The director/writer made the Muslims seem way more fun & charismatic than the stodgy boring crusaders, which felt a bit too PC for me. Not that Muslims can't be a whole helluva a LOT good time party guys
- Wish I had saved my $8.75 dollars....and rented Gladiator and some other films instead!
