Editorial Reviews
Director Ridley Scott (Gladiator) has really outdone himself with this spellbinding film, an elaborately mounted epic that takes occasional liberties with the historical record but recreates the period so evocatively that viewers will be held in thrall to its sweeping narrative. The movie opens in the 12th century, between the Second and Third Crusades, with Jerusalem in Christian hands and the Leper King, Baldwin (Edward Norton), maintaining an uneasy peace with the Muslim warrior prince Saladin (Ghassan Massoud). With a truce in place, Sir Godfrey of Ibelin (Liam Neeson) returns to France in hopes of persuading his illegitimate son, Balian (Orlando Bloom), to join him in the Holy Land and defend Baldwin’s “kingdom of heaven.” Unbeknownst to either of them, unscrupulous, plundering Templar knights are undermining the peace -- inflaming the Muslim hordes and risking Jerusalem’s safety. Scott exhibits remarkable skill in telling the larger story and depicting historical events while maintaining an emphasis on more intimate, character-driven aspects of the story, such as Baldwin’s tender relationship with his sister, Sibylla (Eva Green), and adviser, Tiberias (Jeremy Irons), as well as Sibylla’s on-and-off romance with Balian. Scott lays blame for the siege of Jerusalem plainly and unambiguously at the feet of the villainous knights, and he goes to considerable lengths to make Saladin the chivalrous warrior of legend, but the film isn’t a cut-and-dried exercise in political correctness. The Europeans aren’t all bad, nor the Arab Muslims all good. In fact, the director is to be commended for approaching this very complex phase of history in a reasonably evenhanded way. Were this not the case, however, it wouldn’t change the fact that Kingdom of Heaven is extraordinarily entertaining. Everything about it is first-rate, with Scott’s realistic, expansively staged battle sequences meriting special commendation. Ed Hulse, Barnes & Noble
