    I feel like the movie was almost there but some plot points didn't make sense or wasn't developed enough. The action sequences were also pretty forgettable. 6.5/10

    I finished the extended version and it was absolutely terrible. I don’t know why they didn’t focus the movie more on Napoleons brilliant tactics and less on his chaotic and cringey love life.

    People slept on The Last Duel. Freaking amazing medieval movie.

    I need to watch it again, but once (if?) you could get past Affleck's character/accent I do remember liking it.

    Also, Kingdom of Heaven Director's Cut was vastly superior to the theater version.

    The DC of Kingdom of Heaven is one of the greatest historical dramas ever. The theatrical cut was pretty forgettable. I don't know if I've seen a bigger difference between DC and Theatrical release.

    Solid C- movie. Also about 30/45 min too long.

    I hear this a lot, and I think Kingdom of Heaven DC still has major problems. It is an improvement, but David Lean, Ridley is not…

    Felt like Gladiator 1/2.

    Writing and main actor didn't match the memorable performances of the first. Not sure why we needed a $$$equel.

    Bad plot, dialogue, and acting. The trifecta.
