What Did You Think Sci_Fi_Queen Member zz POSTS: 1363 MEMBER SINCE: 2004-08-12 READ MY PROFILE ADD TO FRIENDS VOTE FOR ME E-MAIL ME POSTED Friday , May 06, 2005 10:37:49 PM going into this movie, i was a but skeptical about orlando's acting. he tends to favour period paices, and up until this movie, he has either had little dialoge, or has played a wuss, which suited him perfectly. but this role, was the lead, a serious, "strong and noble" role. he surprised me, his acting was actually decent. i found all the acting to be close to accurate, as with costumes. the sword fights, i thought anyways, were pretty cool. the use of blood, was not enough in some parts, adn over emphasized in others. and in the main siege, there is one small part, where it seems that the frames repeat each other back to bagk, on purpose, or a mistake, i do not know, it looks a little odd. one thing that is a drawback is the fact that unless you know the basic point of the crusades, and a little but of its history, KOH may be a bit confusing. as for the soundtrack, alot of it suited the theame and tone, except for the love scene, i dont know what the composer was thinking there, cause that was wierd, everyone in the theater started laighing at that point, but other that a few of those flaws, i give this movie a 7.4/10 Kristina, Me, and Andrea No Friends Truer Than These A journalist is a grumbler, a censurer, a giver of advice, a regent of sovereigns, a tutor of nations.

It had some fine performances, and orlando Bloom certainly provied he was skilled enough to carry a film with so many big names in it. This film, like some epics, just couldn't take enough time to develop the characters fully, so that you care a little more about them. I would have liked to see a little more time taken with some key aspects of Balian. Luckily, we learn enough about him from others. Nice touches in the film, overall with detail. Oh, and about the "great battle" I think it was already well inferred that it wasn't so much a battle as a slaughter. They are not going to devote film time to scenes of cutting down exhausted men in blazing sun. That's a bit bloodthirsty, if I may say so.
