I saw when it first came out. Pretty good film, and yeah it does have great battle sequences. The themes are interesting too, although I don't think the characterizations have that feeling of verisimilitude that you get with a great historical drama like, say, "Name of The Rose." These characters often felt...translated to me, like their beliefs and interests were being rewritten a bit for modern audiences. "Kingdom of Heaven" is a good film, and well worth seeing. But I don't think it's as original as something like "Sin City." Imo, we're living in a period where startling originality is shown alongside derivative pablum like "Triple X: State of The Union." But then, maybe it's always been that way. Kevin Street -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
