Kingdom of Heaven

[tiryaroofshadow]

I went to see Kingdom of Heaven yesterday evening after work.  Very nice movie.  At first when it started, I feared it was going to be a little longwinded (or rather some scenes might be) but the story quickly got into the action part (which is what I prefer).   As for the romance, there was just enough for my taste, meaning not too much of it.  I liked Orli in the movie (drool).  He does look more mature with the beard and the extra pounds, though I liked him as Legolas or Paris or even as Will Turner as well.   Some of the battlescenes were a little gory, though these were shown in very quick flashes and it was kinda hard to tell what was exactly happening.  The battlescene in Jerusalem reminded me a little of Helm's Deep and Guy de Lusignac and his partner in crime Reynault, both reminded me somewhat of Agammemnon and his brother in Troy.
