Critics Sentiment
Saladin besieges Jerusalem in massive three day battle
King Baldwin dies and political maneuvering begins
The film drops significantly during the political maneuvering after Baldwin's death before surging to its peak with the spectacular siege of Jerusalem.
Kingdom of Heaven starts strong with Liam Neeson's compelling performance and beautiful visuals, but suffers from a weak middle section plagued by convoluted politics and Orlando Bloom's limited charisma. The film redeems itself with a spectacular final act featuring the siege of Jerusalem, which reviewers universally praised as masterful filmmaking.
