Produced by: Ridley Scott
Starring: Orlando Bloom, Eva Green, Jeremy Irons, David Thewlis, Edward Norton, Marton Csokas, Liam Neeson, Ghasson Massoud
Run time: 144 minutes
Personal Rating: 8/10

Orlando Bloom plays Balian, a young Frenchman who, having lost everything, finds honor and redemption on a valiant quest. Against staggering odds, Balian battles overwhelming forces to save his people and fulfill his destiny as a true knight.

This movie was mainly about Saladin trying to reclaim 'their holy land'. Muslims vs Christians. At the start, Balian's wife suicides because their child died during birth. The battle scenes were realistic and very bloody :) I love how Edward Norton portrays the leper king of Jerusalem. I also loved Eva Green as Sibylla, the one Balian falls in love with.

Overall I would rate this movie 8/10. One point down for surrending! -tut tut orlando-
