About this product
Product Information
Director Ridley Scott confronts hundreds of years of religious conflict in KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. An epic film set in Europe and the Middle East, the story follows one man's struggle to better himself and the world around him. Orlando Bloom stars as Balian, a French blacksmith who is mourning the deaths of his wife and baby when his estranged nobleman father (Liam Neeson) arrives and asks him to join the Crusades in Jerusalem. Mindful that conducting the Lord's work will help him atone for his sins, Balian agrees, and embarks on the perilous journey. Along the way, he reveals his gifts of inherent goodness and fair treatment of all human beings. Upon reaching Jerusalem, a city where his meager beginnings no longer matter, Balian earns respect and fealty, while the evil Guy de Lusignan (Marton Csokas) looks down his aristocratic nose at the former laborer.As he did in GLADIATOR, Scott explores the theme of a man who chooses his fate, instead of accepting the fate given to him at birth. Balian comes to life in Jerusalem, protecting the weak and defenseless as his father told him he must, and catching the eye of the beautiful Princess Sibylla (Eva Green), unhappily married to de Lusignan. Scott paints a stirring portrait of the struggle over Jerusalem among Christians, Jews, and Muslims. In doing so, he also shows the passionate fight for religious freedom. KINGDOM OF HEAVEN ably handles these delicate issues, effectively treating characters from all factions as individuals and not as stereotypes. By placing a virtuous man at the center of this conflict, Scott creates a powerful, universal story.Product Identifiers

Magnificent Epic
A magnificent epic, restored to Scott’s intended 3 hr. version. Don’t judge the film by the studio’s butchered 2hr. theatrical release, which is muddled and confusing. The full version is stunning, visually and thematically. Excellent performances. A beautiful score.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Director’s Cut Gives the full StoryF
As the review title says, this version fills in the gaps left in the theatrical release. The theatrical version was cut to fit a certain time frame sacrificing the story’s continuity. This version made sense of what was unclear in the other version. Definitely worth the price I paid.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Always Good...better with these added scenes
The movie is good. I had this cut before and liked it. I was glad to be able to find a copy on eBay. I am a huge fan of the cast and the storyline. This one is better than Napoleon which was disappointing.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

a lot of actual history, here.
great scenes of jerusalem at the time of the crusades. provides rich history of Balian, who defended jerusalem against a much greater saracen army led by salahaddin, perhaps the greatest general of an arabic army. of course, we have a fictional account of the romance between Balian and the queen, but that's something to be expected. the actions of the various barons, the rivaly between the christian factions is accurate. as far as the acting goes, it is excellent with Orlando Bloom giving, as usual, an excellent performance. costumes are accurate - battle scenes are excellent. Balian successfully defended jerusalem, forcing salahaddin to grant release of citizens and knights freedom to leave to cyprus - at the cost of 1 dinar for each person. the religious conflicts within both the islamic and christian camps is worthy of note. a great film and one which holds well to repeated viewing.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Greatness
Few films capture the struggle for the holy land like this work. We must also remember that there are many sub-plots and that gives the story depth. This is a masterpiece of film and one of many on my list of collector's pieces. The boxed set was in excellent condition and I was happy with the price.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

One of my favorite movies of all time.
I would encourage that you watch this director’s cut version as the Queen of Jerusalems character is fully brought out. This is about the Second Crusade and how a young man planned the defense of the walled city and saved the lives of so many.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
