Went to watch Ridley Scott's 'Kingdom of Heaven' with a new friend. Wasn't really motivated at first due to the fact that I'm not a big fan of pretty boy Orlando Bloom, but since it was under Ridley Scott's production and is supposed to be an epic film, I thought maybe I should give it a go.
And boy was I not disappointed. I have not read any reviews regarding this film yet, as there were none available. With zero expectation before going into the cinema, I was rather surprised finding myself getting absorbed into the film with its very epic feel and sometimes dramatic touch to story elements.
Things I like about the movie: Ridley Scott's touch, Liam Neeson, big props, sweeping vistas, beautiful and somewhat charismatic princess (Eva Green), D&D-movie-was-in-the-past Jeremy Irons, super nice/ugly/tragic Jerusalem king with a super cool looking mask and voice, totally cool/humane villain (technically they are not villain per se, its just that they are on the opposite side of the war in the movie) characters, the ending and of course, cute medieval guys (yes!).
Things I don't like as much in the movie: Orlando Bloom's in-movie not entirely likable character (well at least this time its more likable than the character from Troy :-P)
So, did I like it? You bet!
