Kingdom of Heaven

[Rhialto]

Hollywood shies away from historical accuracy, especially when it comes to religious history. Wouldn't want to upset all those preconceived notions about how things really were and how much superior we are today compared to those people back then.

Yeah, us with our crazy medical treatments, and our stupid technology...

That said, it might be a good movie.

But anyone who is trying to learn the history of the Crusades by watching this sort of movie is bound to either end up disappointed or ill-informed, depending on how gullible that viewer happens to be.

Well, as I understand, Alexander didn't take any overt liberties with history. I'm not wishing a movie accurate enough to teach people history, merely one accurate enough not to give us history majors major headaches like King Arthur did. On the plus side, I had great time ripping that one apart.

I know Harry Knowles is not universally liked, or respected or regarded as human being. However, this review may be found at Ain’t It Cool.

I will say Ridley Scott has a good track record.
