A great film for the snowbound! I just finished my third viewing of a nearly four hour masterpiece, the "Director's Cut" of "Kingdom of Heaven", with nearly an hour of restored material to the original film by director Ridley Scott.
The original theatrical version was a flop, a critic's bomb, because it made little sense, with too many holes in the plot, and no understanding of why the characters had such major attitudes. Even if you SAW it you might wonder what was missing, and few people saw the film.
Well, the original director's version is now restored, all of the cuts are back, and it all makes beautiful sense. This film is simply a masterpiece! There is way too much there to even describe---just rent it and enjoy an overwhelming, magnificent creation of cinema........................elsullo
