Alright so this movie is another King Arthur type of movie of knights fighting other knights. This movie has the Lord of the Rings feel to it with the massive fighting seens so this is going to be a great movie.

10/10

That movie hasn't been released yet as far as i know.

It comes out on May 6th according too IMDB.

Generally, due to the time that this movie is being released, I would say that the executives probably think it's going to be a bomb, otherwise they would release it somewhere around midsummer.

By releasing it now, it has very little competetion, but if they release it later, when more people are going out to movies and what not, they will have to compete with the higher ranking movies.

They may just feel that the public is getting or gotten burned out on the medieval topic for a while, and so they want to release now, because it can't compete.

It has Alexander Siddig in the movie. Beside that, I think I'll go watch this one.

I might go and see it, just to experience some violence. I'm a rather violent person. It looks a little too epic for me though, I like small believable plot lines and characters.

Anything with Liam Neeson is worth watching. I'm gonna go see it.

The directing should be good... from the same guy that did Gladiator.

The costumes, props and scenery look good in it too, well made like the ones in Lord of The Rings.

So has anyone seen this movie? I heard people calling it "Kingdom of Boredom."

Never even knew there was such a movie

how can anyone call it boring. There was never a dull moment in the whole film. The film was great. It felt a but chopped though. I think they were told to trim it down so.. It will probably have a extended directors cut.

The film still was very good though

Yes it does show the Muslim POV. It also dosnt show it in a negative way. It shows both sides in a positive way

Jeremy looks fantastic, shame about the film.

lionhead · **Thu May 26, 2005 7:06 pm**

i just saw it. Nice movie. Really shows the Mistakes the Catholic church has made. Its all about power in the end. The big battle between the crusaders defending Jerusalem and the muslims in the end is awesome

I'm wondering what religious people like Founder and RM think about it when they have seen it.

^Oh

Anyway,

I would watch the movie but I can't watch that type of violence. It looks interesting though.
