Visually the most beautiful movie I have ever watched. It was amazing how Ridley Scott captured the flavour of those wondrous pre-raphealite images of the Holy Wars- quite fairy tale like. Liked all the actors especially Saladin. Not so sure about Orlando Bloom. I mean no disrespect and he did a good job but I don't think he has that great warrior screen presence that this role demands. The trouble is of course that there are not many suitable British actors left that would suit this role. What I would really love to see is Ridley Scott do a remake of the King Arthur legend, maybe using Marion Zimmer Bradleys 'Mists of Avalon' upon which to base the story. Apart from the rotten dialogue it had more of a ring of truth to it than Thomas Mallory's Morte d'Arthur. Ridley Scott could make this into something truly magical. I am originally a Brit and love these type of adventures. I already have a cast in mind if anyone is interested. Extremely well done
