Kingdom of Heaven (Blu-ray Disc, 2009, Directors Cut)

"Kingdom of Heaven" - Review

While the action is quite entertaining, the pacing is way to fast. As for the acting, very weak. Everybody felt that the Director's Cut would be the ultimate. In a way, it is and it isn't. Ridley Scott proved himself with films like, Alien, Blade Runner and Gladiator, but with Kingdom of Heaven, he lost his touch. Therefore, I'll stick with El Cid.

Entertaining, but not accurate

As a Christian who is also Catholic, I see this movie in two ways. Star studded with great British Actors make this a compelling eye candy and sound experience that is very entertaining. But historically, it has issues, and at its release, was one of the major problems that caused folks to dismiss it. The Christians are the bad guys here, not the liberators they truly were, as history shows. Generally, it has been forgotten, but if you have a chance to to watch it for the first time, go for it!

You get to know the characters before all the drama and fighting begins

You get to know the characters much better. I know 4 hours is long but break it up and look forward to the next part. I can not believe they cut that much from the original. Remember all that was shot the first time but cut. Much better film than the original cut. The character development is great.

The Justice League directors cut is 6 hours which was also all filmed at the same time then cut to 2 hours.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Just short of being a master piece, but multiple watchthroughs will yield greater experience

the extended is much better than the theatrical release. this really is a special movie but i wouldn't say its a good movie.

The movie is perfect proof of concept but I wouldn't call it dramatically polished but what it does have...

small and Huge scale battles. check

interesting time period for setting. check

set design, costumes, Ridley's authentic vision for how everything looks and feels. check check check.

However... this movie is pretty on the nose with blood thirsty power hungry villains, Orlando Bloom being Orlando Bloom, and the pretty girl being, well... pretty. no one character is very engaging but the point isn't to like the characters, it's to understand what each character thematically represents. Think of the characters not as people but of virtues playing against one another.

because of this the script pretty much plays out like a long debate.

Bad guy: I'm the bad guy and i represent corruption
good guy: I am the good guy and I represent virtue
hot chick: I am a smokin hot babe and I represent lack of faith

and so on and so fourth. Not bad, but no real moments that made me laugh or cry or really feel connected to these characters. Much like watching a very impressive story board.

It's appearent that riddley really put his heart and soul into this movie and the extended edition shows that.

More for people who might of liked his movies, Alien: Covenant, Robing Hood... and that is pretty much it. poor scripts but a spectacular vision. so watch it with a grain of salt.

Epic Movie- Extended cut

This was my 3rd time watching this movie and my 1st time watching the extended cut. I would have to say that the extended cut takes it to a new level! It fills in many of the missing links from the theatrical version. It just feels like a whole new movie.Vollständige Rezension lesen

So MUCH better than the original release.

With all the other scenes restored the story came out so much better than the first release. The characters, the excellent acting, and other fun things really made this a viewing pleasure. Kudos to Ridley Scott for putting this out.Vollständige Rezension lesen
