Kingdom of Heaven
It doesn't happen very often to me that I get to see a movie before it is on the big screen in the US, but this one I got to see in Filmstaden i Sundsvall, Sweden where the movie premiered 2 days (+time difference) before it premiered in the US.It would be hard to avoid comparing Kingdom of Heaven and Gladiator since both were created by the same director but Kingdom of Heaven just didn't have the same appeal.
The main flaw I think was that Balian was not as charismatic a character as Maximus. This meant a less of an emotional attachment to the film. If they had casted another actor for the role of Balian, it might have created a complete different picture.

Ja, die film heb ik gisteren ook gezien in Marseille tussen alle stress van de verhuizing door. Ik vond 'm zelf ook vrij tegenvallen, vooral wat het verhaal betreft.
Zeker het begin is nogal simplistisch en het karakter van bv. de pa van onze held is weinig uitgediept. Gelukkig zijn er de gevechtscenes die het zaakje nog redelijk overeind houden.

J's post is right on. I agree with every word of it.
