Movie Review "Kingdom of Heaven"

I was surprised at how much I loved this movie. I didn't even know who was in it before I saw them on the screen. It was very well done, I loved the story, the action, the scenic images. As far as I could tell from the DVD featurettes it was historically accurate at least the real historical characters that were portrayed. I had no idea of such events happening during the crusades. I also appreciated that it did not take the typical stand against the "evil crusading christians" that we allways here of nor did it portray the Muslims as evil. It portrayed honor among the knighthood, and the muslim warriors as well as the evil and treachery that existed in that world and this one. I am sure the subject of the movie is what kept people from seeing it in the theater but it was well worth the viewing, I learned a lot and was entertained in the process. Lots of blood and violence there may have been some nudity as well.
