Kingdom of Heaven
Advantages: Brilliantly shot with lavish sets and costumes and exciting action sequences
Disadvantages: Feels a little disjointed, Orlando Bloom doesnt quite work as the lead
Often tagged 'Gladiator 2', Kingdom of Heaven is Ridley Scott's take on The Crusades during the 12th century, and fans of Gladiator should know what to expect; Elaborate sets and constumes; dynamic shots of armoured men in frenzied battle; a fearless yet tormented hero rising from the bottom to change the course of history. Balian (Orlando Bloom) a bereaved blacksmith, is approached by his previously unknown father, a crusading Lord named Sir Godfrey ...
...but his father and his men are ambused and killed en route and Balion ends up taking up his fathers office in Jerusalem, a Crusader stronghold in the Holy Land. There he becomes embroiled in a political struggle between rivalling orders of Christian knights, and after the tensions spill out into war and defeat at the hands of Saladin's Saracen army in the desert, Balion is left to defend Jerusalem and its townsfolk against Saladin's overwhelming ...

More like Cycle of The Rings, it feels as long!
Advantages: Yet more great special effects
Disadvantages: far too long & dull
To describe the plot in a nutshell this is the movie that separates the original group who started out with the ring, the meeting of The Ents (the last of a species of intelligent trees), defending Rohan and moving Frodo and the ring further towards Morder. We meet Elves, more bad things and nasty wizards as well as learning more about Gollum and a giant spider. The 1st 20 minutes of this film is huge tracts of flashbacks to the first movie in order ...
...I'm honest. Generally again, the pacing in this film is too much. It just lasts far too long. It's a bit annoying that Frodo & Sam go to a place in this film where they don't actually go in the book. If the director thought it was a good idea to adapt a book then why not stick to the story of the book? They stick to book one and they stick to book three but they start inventing things for book two? Who died and made him Tolkien? Of the 3 films this ...

Great Films
Advantages: Great Storyline
Disadvantages: I feel the ending was slightly rushed.
Excellent Trilogy, it is one of my personal favourites of all time. I would recommend it to anyone of any age.
There are a few scenes a of violence but there is nothing terrible or life changing in it. The films are very watcheable and addictive with a thriling storyline.
The films are full of great special effects, sometime it leaves you wondering whether it's actually real as it's so convincing. Amazing characters, for instance Davy Jones looks ...

Certainly not the end of the world
Advantages: Captivating, intriquing storyline and unpredictable
Disadvantages: Some scenes were too long
...to go and see The Pirates of the Caribbean for it’s UK premier along with my twelve year old daughter and her friends, I was uncertain for two reasons. One, I had had a very late night the previous night and two, I had not seen Pirates of the Caribbean 2, Dead Man’s Chest. After settling myself down for the three hour stint and enduring the big feature previews, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the film held my attention well. Having omitted ...
...to the preceding sequence of events, but the assumptions I made during the movie helped fill in the gaps reasonably well and the film was not too hard to follow (I understand some people find the plot very confusing anyway and I confess, I didn't fully understand the story in it's entirety). The first thing that caught my attention was the magnificent set, CGI generated of course but the artistry and design skill of the film makers were tremendous ...
