Kingdom of Heaven


No Idea / Sunday, May 22nd, 2005

I saw Kingdom of Heaven today. It was good. Really good. I’m glad I ended up seeing it because I wasn’t going to see it prior to yesterday. Orlando Bloom was awesome once again. He doesn’t feel like a lead actor because he doesn’t really have the look, but he pulls it off well. Some of the fight scenes were kinda blurry but most of them were good and the large epic battle at the end was just awesome. It didn’t really focus on love too much which is what way too many movies are doing nowadays. We knew there was something going on between Bloom and that chick who’s name I can’t remember, and all they did was have about a total of 10 minutes of screen time throughout the movie emphasizing their love. It was the smallest love scene ever. The director had the right idea. If she wasn’t gonna show some titties, just get it over with. And that brings me to my only quarrel with the movie which was all the names. I’m bad with names and this movie was giving me fits. People and places… everything had a weird name. Despite all the names I couldn’t remember though, all the characters were played really well. I’m really glad to see that good non comedies can still be made even after the Lord of the Rings trilogy finished up. I hope we get some more soon.

I’m currently watching: The Contender
