Was ok. I think you know what you’re going to get when you see a Ridley Scott historical epic. Plenty of big battles, jerky camera, slow motion fighting and blood spurting. I’m not sure if Orlando Bloom, decorative as he is, really had the charisma to pull of his role. He’s fine when killing people, but for all the scenes that called him to look off into the distance being pensive he just seemed rather blank. I found the whole love subplot between Balian and Sibylla to be wholly uninteresting and boring. On the upside, there were plenty of epic battles, and I do love some epic battle!

I mostly agree. Perhaps I’m just way too shallow, but Orlando Bloom’s pensive stares did seem to acquire a tiny smidgen more weight near the end of the movie, after they scarred up his pretty face some. But yeah, Tiberius, Saladin, even the leprous king had more charisma. If in some alternative universe Ridley Scott made a version of the movie featuring one of those three instead of Balian, I’d be totally into that.

They could have cut the whole romance thing right out and it would have been fine by me.
