Last movie I watched in the cinema was Kingdom of Heaven...and a bit of a disappointment. I didn't really know what to expect, yet my expectations were quite high as they kept advertising "by the director of Gladiator"...which happens to be one of my all-time favorites. I disliked some of the acting, and most of the dialogue. It seemed like a bit of a kiddy movie, where the main actor knows everything better, etc. This can sometimes be a believable aspect, but in this case where they keep mentioning how the main actor is nothing but a black smith, it really annoyed me everytime 1. he said the obvious and everyone looked up to him like they couldn't think of it themselves and 2. he says/does something that a black smith from that time period would have no clue about...
The movie was worthwhile to watch, but I just wish they had tried to make the story a bit more realistic. They should also have made the main point of the movie clear in the beginning...I did miss the first couple minutes, so maybe I missed the intro...but it wasn't until after the second half of the movie until I realized what the main plot of the movie was...before this I kept wondering who was the bad guy and who was the good guy, because even though it was somewhat clear, they showed both good/bad sides of most characters making it somewhat confusing...
Hopefully what I just wrote makes some sense...it was more of a movie rant than a constructive "review"...but that's what you get at 2:30 in the morning
