This Film is Good but not the best one i have seen by Director Ripley Scott. It doesn't come close to the epic film Gladiator as it lack the context that Gladiator Film Had, the story in kingdom of heaven ok it wont confused the audience but it feel like they have cut something out of it like something missin from it that would make it a great film.

Short Summary

The Film begins with Balian (Orlando Bloom) mourning as his had recently buried his wife and child. His Father (Baran of Ibelin) played by (Liam Neeson) decide to make himself know to his son "Balian" and talks him into going to Jerusalem to clear his sins and also his wife as both was consigned to hell for commiting suicide by the catholic doctrine.

So on their jounery to jerusalem they got into a battle, which end with Bailan father bein wounded and later on dieing from getting a fever from his wounds. Soon after Bilian has more trouble when at sea with ended with his ship-wrecked. Months later he finally arrives at jerusalem and gain his father title (Baran of Ibelin. Meanwhile Arabs were planing to attack the holy city with an army of 200,000 to claim back their city from the christians.

Finally all diplomacy goes out the window, War breaks out and Balian finds himself fighting to save the city with just his knight and the people of Jerusalem againest the mighty arab army of 200,000 strong . Huge battle lots of people dieing and it all ends with the dipomacy coming in, make a deal lol and they all live happy ever after lol
