"Kingdom of Heaven"
Spoilers ahead
This week I will be reviewing "Kingdom of Heaven"
"Kingdom of Heaven" Is a story of chivalry and lost faith, the story is set on the dawn of third crusade. The story begins in France with Balian of Ibelin a humble blacksmith, grief stricken by the suicide of his wife, a company of crusaders pass through his village and offer him a chance to redeem himself and the soul of his wife by going to the holy land, Jerusalem. As it happened to be the leader of the crusaders is Balian's father who came in search of him. After a long journey Balian makes it to Jerusalem. He meets the king of Jerusalem Baldwin IV and he quickly begins to understand the fragile peace Baldwin holds with the Saracen king Saladin and the constant threat from zealots on both sides to begin war anew.
Kingdom of heaven is a very fictionalized account of the actual events that transpired in between the second and third crusades. Historical inaccuracies aside the movie a great watch. The acting was stellar everyone.The sets and props were amazing the movie visuals were stunning and immersive The battle scenes were very well done and expansive. The films length was a little staggering but all the way through I was thoroughly entertained, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quasi historical film, medieval with some good action.
