CANT WAIT for the great gatsby!!!!!!!!
That's what I thought up until the scene where Pi tells the other story, made me think the whole movie is really about the way you want to look at it rather than shoving the religious/spiritual themes down your throat.Life of Pi: visually stimulating sometimes but there was too much religion...
Kingdom of Heaven is profoundly relevant for our troubled times.
... an extraordinary work of art, a plea for religious tolerance that works because of sheer filmmaking prowess and good, old-fashioned storytelling.
Yeah, what this guy is saying is mostly correct:Ridley Scott takes it slow and steady with Kingdom of Heaven.It is no secret that this film goes to great lengths to tell its story. The run time, for one, is a massive 3 hours. It isn't a quick sit through, nor does it feel like it with only a moderate pace. On the other hand, the costumes and set design are visually pleasing. When it comes to the story, there isn't a whole lot that can be deemed unnecessary, as most of it does fit nicely together.The violence is bloody and the action is as it should be. Nothing fancy when it comes to the choreography; just large clashes, especially in the final hour.The cast is solid. The supporting roles tend to outshine Orlando Bloom, but since the characters come and go, it is Bloom that ends up with the most to deliver. The likes of Eva Green, Jeremy Irons, and David Thewlis are just a few of the standouts throughout the picture.Kingdom of Heaven isn't a masterpiece, but it is a recommendable picture if one has 3 hours to spare.
While I understand where that's coming from, you're too harsh on the cinematography and Orlando Bloom.Interesting subject matter, and capable (if overly glossy) cinematography, but something in this film just didn't come out right. I think there was too much build up to most events; though the plot was interesting, everything developed so slowly that the sting had been taken out of the events before they occurred. That, and I didn't buy Orlando Bloom in this part - too young and too pretty. Didn't reward the investment it required, and could have trimmed some fat to make for a better watch.
Violent movie about the Crusades that isn't meant for kids.
I actually laughed at this one ^^^^^Since we barely know what's at stake -- we're too confused and bored to care -- all this fighting means nothing to us, and yet Scott still hopes to rev us up with it.
Nah, everyone has different tastes :OOh right. Iron Man 3.
Pretty shit movie but decent entertainment. Just like its predecessors.
