Kingdom of Heaven

Kingdom of Heaven (2005)

During the 12th century in the holy city of Jerusalem, a young peasant blacksmith (Orlando Bloom) takes up the mantle of knighthood so he can help repel the army of Christian crusaders that took control of the city in the year 1099. To complicate matters (of course), the young knight also falls in love with a beautiful princess (Eva Green). Co-stars Liam Neeson, Jeremy Irons, David Thewlis and Brendan Gleeson. Ridley Scott directs.

My Two Cents: Not the sweeping epic it aspires to be; Could offer a poignant commentary on faith if not bogged bown by naive pluralism.
