Excellent film, wanted the directors edition to see the extra scenes that had been cut, which added more depth to the story, some people claim the extra scenes tend to drag, but they are important to explain what lay behind the action.

First of all, what can beat Gladiator, with lines like "father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife", etc. and Russell Crowe chopping off heads. Kingdom of Heaven is a similar heroic fable yet the good and evil polarity is slightly more ambiguous. I would say it was vastly better than Alexander. Ridley Scott's style (cinematography and music) as seen in Black Hawk Down and Gladiator also lend a wonderful historical ambiance. Orlando Bloom does a fine job as the lead, and the French actress is fantastic (and beautiful), but my favorite lead was the Leper King and the wise nobility of his character. The battle scenes are excellent (including one in falling snow in which the snowflakes seem to hang in the air) and the armies look very historically realistic - this is a very good-looking epic. Formulaic perhaps, but well-executed. Kingdom of Heaven made me feel like leaving the "blacksmithy" that is our dull modern urban existence and finding a cause worth fighting for, but Crusades just aren't what they used to be =DRead full review
If like me, you found the cinema version of this movie full of 'holes' in its plot, (how did balian know about seige warfar?, what happened to Guy?, did sibylla have children to Guy? etc) then this movie fills in the gaps. Hollywood is keen on cramming as many movies into its cinemas in a day and this means cutting parts out of a movie to shorten the time. This was as frustrating to Ridley Scott as to any fan of his who want to watch 'the true version' of the movie. Believe me the extended version is far superior than the cinema version. If you are going to buy this movie, buy in this format. You will not be disappointed. Excellent, Historic, lots of action and a wealth of famous actors/actresses.
This directors edition fills in the gaps in the cinema released version and makes the film far more understandable
