I saw Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven last week for class... and it was terrible. Except for Orlando Bloom being rather good-looking, I saw few other redeeming aspects about the film. It is full of action, special effects and gore, but lacks in substance and plot. It's not believable and tries too hard to be politically correct (thus compromising the storyline).If you've already seen this movie, I'm curious what you thought about it. If you haven't seen it, don't bother.

thanks for the tip. i'd been thinking of renting it, but i guess i'll give it a miss.
btw, the poppies! oh yah! i forgot about those since we don't live in the UK anymore. i LOVED buying those. wish we'd do it in the states. it's so lovely and meaningful too!
I saw it on the airplane. I agree with you. Besides not presenting the story well, the action is like a watered down fantasy epic. The final battle looked just like the final battle from Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers except there weren't any orcs.
He he....I kinda yawned from the pieces that I saw, and yes, very much trying to be PC. I wonder how your class is using this film as a launch for discussion?
Yes, Orlando is very easy on the eyes. :D Although I didn't see the movie I wouldn't see it just for him.
