Kingdom of Crap
kingdom, orlando bloom, kingdom of heaven, ridley scott, braveheart
7th of May 2005
Me and my friend Andreas accidently went to see Kingdom of Heaven yesterday. We had extremely low hopes having seen the trailer but thought we'd give Ridley Scott a second chance.
What a load of crap it was. It was constantly unrealistic and pathetic. All the bladdering about honour, love and pride made us sick. One word summorizes Orlando Bloom's character: pretentious!
There's a moment when he speaks to the soldiers before a war like we've seen so many times in Braveheart, Lord of the Rings etc. except this time I get uneasy in my seat because it's so god damn embarrasing. Don't get me started on the recurring theme where the main character tries to prove that you don't have to a lord or knight to accomplish this and that.
I feel sorry for the people who kind of people who like stories like this. It's been done a million times before but those other times much less pretentious and often with a hint of humanity.
There were some impressive scenes I must admit but I'm hoping that Ridley Scott just got trapped with his wonderful camera techniques in a shitty screenplay given to him by senseless executives.

va fan! Du gillar ju köande skitungar som gillar att klä på sig riddarutstyrslar på ett halvsossigt vis. Jag tror du överdriver. I bet your schtake reste sig lite då och då under filmens gång. jag har köpt en vulva 850, i den ska du och jag producera röstare./ jeans
I though it was pretty discusting as well. I do love those kind of movies but I agree that this one was just wrong and too violent. I mean the amount of blood flying everywhere...I was going to be sick. The only really good thing about this film was Orlando Bloom, he is so awesome, but I wish he would of gotten a better part as a 'leading man' than in this discusting, inaccurate epic.
