An Epic
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I enjoy many of director Ridley Scott's films. This is one I had not seen, so I picked up the Director's Cut at Best Buy for an incredible price on Blu-ray. This is an epic film starring Orlando Bloom, as a young blacksmith suffering from loss. He has a strong moral compass, but is called to travel to Jerusalem, where he believes many of his problems will be solved, but learns that it is a treacherous journey. This is an epic tale, and Orlando does a good job in the film, and his character is very unwavering in his beliefs. This earns him the respect of many peers, and he leads in many battles. It is a good film, but at nearly three hours long, it's pace is a bit slow at times. Worth a watch, but it might not be worth several revisits.

Stunning Visuals, Great Score, and Decent Acting
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like this film very much, especially the historical fictions; the depiction of the struggle between Christianity & Islam that continues to this very day. Orlando Bloom's best performance, along with the supporting cast of characters; I love Eva Green, she is intriguingly beautiful. The focus of the Middle Ages is a grim reminder of how brutal it was to survive & thrive while living a hard life. I'm not a movie critic or a historian but I recognize a well-written story & a movie that was brilliantly directed. What does not watching this movie mean?...nothing...everything! Watch & maybe just maybe you'll understand.

Better Than Expected!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had never seen this Ridley Scott movie, but had largely heard negative things over the years. I am very glad I gave it a chance. Turned out to be very enjoyable and well worth picking up. It's a nice package with lots of extras, and the movie looks terrific. They mentioned that it was recut after its theatrical run, which may have made this version better and that explains why so many didn't like it originally. I don't know. If you like medieval sword movies, etc., you will enjoy this.

Epic movie with a few flaws
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Note that this review is for the Director's Cut of the movie, which runs 3 hours rather than 2. Both versions are available in this Anniversary Edition. This movie is epic, very engaging, with fantastic sets and costumes. Some decent acting as well. Very much worth the cost of the disc. As a fan of Ridley Scott films, I was prepared for the fact that his movies often over-explain some things, don't explain some things at all, and are downright confusing in other places. So if you can handle all that, you should be very entertained by this film.

Better than Average Historical Action Film
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent movie, not to the caliber of Braveheart or Gladiator, but still a very engrossing film. It builds slowly, as you try to find the themes. Part of this is the acting, where Bloom is great but doesn't have the screen presence at the start to fully draw you in. Cinematography is excellent, as is the color palette. A great test disk for a new TV or Blu ray player. Lots of action scenes with good effects. Great for a rainy Saturday afternoon with nothing to do.

Good movie, & extras on the "anniversary" edition
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In my view is a very solid movie, filmed very well. Interesting snap shot of a time period that you don't see a lot of movies done about. NOT just another King Arthur movie, that's for sure!! Could not get wife to watch it a 2nd time though, she is not a fan of "war" movies. The new anniversary edition is great with extras, bonus material. Skip buying the older version and go straight for this one, good price point right now.

Director's cut so worth it
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this blu-ray because it was the directors cut. This is the best version and blows the theatrical cut out of the water. I get why the studio wanted to cut down for time but in my opinion the extras scenes change the movie. Perfect gift for any movie collector.

Good and under appreciated Ridley Scott
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I enjoyed this movie although I'm not sure I have ever seen it from the beginning. Interesting historical fiction, not sure how close to the actual history it is, but great battle scene at the end. Good music and performances by Orlando Bloom, Edward Norton, and Jeremy Irons. Underrated when it first came out, but good Ridley Scott.

Good movie with new video codec!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this movie at a discounted price. I always enjoyed the movie's time period with its historic setting, battles, and political intrigue. I hated Riddley Scotts bunch off fluff that he adds, like a stupid love affair that drags and the main protagonist role that would have been better suited at the time for a Russel Crowe not Orlando Bloom.

Ultimate Edition Kingdom of Heaven
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Having bought this movie on DVD and getting a great deal on it as a Blu Ray I wanted to see the glue "directors cut". Ridley opens the film with a self introduction and elaborates on some scenes. All in all the Blu Ray compared to the theater release is a better finished product. Glad I made the purchase.

Kingdom of Heaven
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a perfect example of a movie that is dramatically different when comparing the theatrical version vs. the directors cut. Director’s cut is the only way to watch this.

Ridley Scott Historical Epic
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Originally had the 4-disc DVD set, had always wanted a BD version. Initial BD release did not come with all the special features of the DVD set. This recent 2-disc BD set corrects that. Let this be a launching point to learn more of the Crusades, not the end-all be-all. This is not a documentary.

Fun movie, immersive bonus features
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A movie can be great or even entertaining, but they can leave you wondering how they were made. This movie comes with all the bonus features I need so that way I can know exactly what went into the process of making this movie. Also a great cheap price.

Excellent
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.An excellent movie that fans of Ridley Scott, the director of Gladiator, should enjoy. This is the Extended Edition which is the one to watch - it's over 3 hours - and the picture quality is cleaned up and improved from the original DVD release.

Seems to work good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had to return my first order. Stopped working in under a month. However it was either a dent or a return model that I purchased first. that is the only reason I am giving it a 4 star. They price match as well. So far so good on the replacement.

Ridley Scott Epic
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you own the previous Blu-ray, I highly recommend upgrading to this edition for the hours of extras and two additional cuts of the film. The Picture Quality is even better on this disc. If you dont own the film at all yet, it's a no-brainer.

Great movie, good director's cut
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you like the movie, then you should get it. I have seen it a few times already. The picture quality is excellent on my 120 inch projector screen. I got it for a good price, so definitely worth it.
