This a movie that everytime that you see it you notice something new. It is going to become a timeless classic! Part history, part love story, part religion, part war what else do you want in a movie Drama, action, love, history ...............
September 25, 2008The uncut version sure filled in all the parts you didn't see in the other video of it. I liked it alot
Money well spent for the movie.
September 23, 2008This movie had really nice sets, and a great story. There is only about 20 minutes of action but overall it's a great movie.
September 16, 2008The Director's Cut is the real version of the film, butched to be shown in cinemas. I'm getting tired of this studio practice, after all, I pay to get into a theater (I'm writing without spelling check, so cover your eyes and forget my writing sins). This is a fun take into the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem, but is short in action for impatient viewers and too light in ideas for those looking for intellectual nourishment. Phrases about religion and tolerance abound in the film, and this is welcomed. However, the motives of some of the characters, especially the ones designated to be the villains, are not explained at all. Why Guy needs war so much? We know why Saladin does, but what about his foes? As in history, Saladin and the king are the most memorable characters here. Every time they speak we listen carrefully, every movement a sign of the times and the will of the nations behind them. It is a film of spectacle, as well as a political allegory. Tolerance and Jerusalem, sounds familiar? Well, my disjointed review comes to an end, and to add another point to a list of random thougths: Orlando Bloom was good in the movie, and a weak leader he isn't. Maybe the writers forced some blatant lines about self-made men out of his troath, but he fought bravely for those words. Saalam aleikum.

This is the film that should have been seen by everyone the theaters. The extended edition contains all of the character development that was missing in the original. In addition, there is a bit more attention to Balian's faith journey. I would still have liked to have seen more in that regard but happy for what there is now in the extended DVD.
