In Kingdom Of Heaven we meet Balian of Ibelin (Orlando Bloom), a humble French blacksmith, searching for a reason to go on after the death of his wife and child. Balian is approached by Godfrey of Ibelin (Liam Neeson), his true father, a fabled knight who has briefly returned home to find his son after serving in the East, who urges Balian to join him on the journey to Jerusalem to help defend the holy city.
Balian eventually accepts, he and Godfrey arrive between the 2nd and 3rd Crusades, so the city is enjoying a fragile peace. Both Christian and Muslim forces are in retreat, thanks to the wisdom of the Christian monarch King Baldwin IV (Edward Norton), his second-in-command Tiberias (Jeremy Irons), and Muslim potentate Saladin (Ghassan Massoud). Agitators on both sides are eager to end the peace in a bid for greater power, and Saladin bows to pressures from Muslim factions...
Although the title put me off, this is a good movie, I'm really starting to get into these kind of films! Overall very good!
Here is the trailer...
