9/10
So freaking good, especially if you watch the full Director's cut!

This is just truly a masterpiece in my opinion. We simply don't get many high quality films in older history, especially with something as complex as the Crusades. Orlando Bloom is absolutely incredible in this film and I have no clue why he isn't still doing epic blockbusters to this day. It seriously blows my mind. Not everything is accurate in the film obviously as Sybilla never loved Balian in real life, but I can see why that was intertwined in. Edward Norton as the Leper King Baldwin IV steals every line and scene he is in and if there is one stumble, it's that he should have been in more scenes. If you love history, this is just can't miss.
