When I first heard that we would be watching Kingdom of Heaven, I thought "what the F#$%?, another 2.5 hours of boring period crap set in the middle ages. Don't they know this shit has been done MANY SUCK-ASSED TIMES in just the last year?".
Boy, were we suprised. . .
The movie starts with several expositional scenes repleate with subtitles of time & location. So this got us up to speed of the where & when. We then find out the village blacksmith is actually the son of a VERY cool bishop on his way to the crusades to defend what is being slowly corroded by the religious zealots, and later carries on his fathers ways for peace.
Then the blood flows, gushes, spurts, & sprays in the first battle. This gave us all a good sign of what was to come. While takeing a break before the run there was a subcatagory of this movie needed to have at least three good fight/war scenes, and this is one of them. There were many to follow in the next 2 hours.
To go on more would ruin the story of good -vs- evil. But I will say the evil you see in the begining is not the true evil of this story.
In short: pee before the show starts, you will get lulled into thinking nothing will happen & you can sneak away. But you will miss something. And the eight reels that comprise this 145 min. film, (not inc. 15 min of trailers), will seem to go rather quickly, so cross your legs & don't think of waterfalls or dripping faucets.
1/2 soda, 1 smoke break {hence the warning about missing key points}
Blessed Be, Dr. Strangelove
A new world. A better world than has ever been seen. There you are not what you are born but what you have it in yourself to be. A kingdom of concious, peace instead of war, love instead of hate. That is what lies at the end of Crusade.
