Despite Historical Inaccuracies and bad movie rating - Kingdom of Heaven is still a great epic movie.

[@Eruthian]

I agree. Beautiful Tale with very deep meaning. Especially if you concider the time it came out.

[@ChildofIcarus]

The non-Director's cut was what they reviewed, unfortunately. Which is a less complete version and makes the story cut somewhat nonsensical.

[@Neverendless92]

The director's cut is just a diffrent movie from the one they put out. They just cut it really badly, and the film is really good even when historically inaccurate.

[@pissfather6798]

Plus salahadin is such a badass

[@carpediem9750]

If I wanted acurracy I would be picked a history research, this movie is awesome and the history and love invested in this it's so fucking cool

[@Naldo2001]

Finally, someone reacts to this, haha, thanks to you and the other you tubers who dont follow the usual routine of all reacting to the same thing. just waiting for the amount of movies to grow before patreon

[@angryalanrants9574]

Man I've been recommending this to everyone. Its one of my all time favorites. And the Directions cut. Its a spectacular film. Ridley Scott is a master of his craft

[@daviderigio1058]

I appreciate you and and your reactions. Saladin told King Baldwin IV (The Leper King) I will send you my physicians, because he knew he was sick, and he respected him, there was honor and respect between leaders before.

[@masjidrats2012]

The stories of Saladin and Richard are even better. So much honor back then

[@TheBarca1889]

Saladin respected Baldwin because Baldwin had defeated him multiple times at this point.

Paul!! I am SO GLAD you are watching the Director's Cut!! It's one of my favorite movies of all time but specifically only the director's cut version. Very awesome.

[@hansenbee123]

Edward Norton as the king of Jerusalem was such a good cast, didnt even know it was him after watching the movie 2 times.

[@SSIronHeart]

What the king says over the chess game still resonates with me today. Yes it's a movie but those lines "when you stand before God you cannot say, but I was told to do thus. Or that virtue was not convient at the time."

[@lv-gamer2568]

The scene where the German knight says : "I say he is innocent of the charges, if you say he is guilty - we will fight and the god will decide truth of it." is spot on! Medieval court was quick - if you had a disagreement with someone it could have been decided with a duel. The idea was that god would not let a righteous man die...ofcourse it took a while to realize that swordsmanship miiiiiiight often let the not so righteous man win. 😁

[@dru3703]

Congrats on this DIRECTORS CUT! it’s so much better than the theatre.

[@dastemplar9681]

Glad you’re seeing the Director’s Cut, it actually makes a difference of how good this movie was. Critics gave the theatrical version a bad rating only to then come around and say the extended director’s cut was so much better even to the extent of giving the film a positive rate.

[@doesnotexist305]

Kingdom of Heaven might not be historically accurate at times but it captures the essence of the Crusades. And it is THE definitive portrayal of Saladin in film. I would have KILLED for a sequel with Saladin fighting his most famous adversary: Richard the Lionheart, King of England (who we see at the end!)

[@colinm8200]

Movies like this made me get a history major at my University. I saw this movie as a kid and was amazed with thinking of the past. Gettysburg, the Revolution, just history in general. It was amazing to me.

[@angryalanrants9574]

Finally. One of the greats right here. Epic film.

[@user-xn8po]

Not historically accurate, still my favorite movie.

[@MrVas78]

Straw man argument, no one really knows what went down besides tales from the west and tales from the east...

[@spoonzor1]

@@MrVas78 Historians know alot more than "no one really knows" and the movie is mostly inaccurate except some names and the surrender of jerusalem to saladin. I dno why you would comment if you dont know anything yourself?

[@kapitan19969838]

​@@spoonzor1 It's mostly accurate

[@Cherokee9898]

The Baron de Ibelin was a real person who led the defense of Jerusalem in 1187. The big historical inaccuracy is that he was not a blacksmith or illegitimate child but was raised by his father Barisan of Ibelin. He married the heiress of Ramla, Helvis. Him being a bastard is my one (big) dislike for this movie because it creates other problems. Even if his father had “knighted” him and declared him baron he would have been removed as an illegitimate child. His succession would not have been accepted and the king would have removed him of his fathers title and given it to someone else. He also had two brothers. Other than that it’s still an epic of a movie.

[@boboboy8189]

Another inaccuracy is Saladin didn't kill anyone when he Give this glass of water

[@DogmaBeoulve]

I'm so glad you watched the Director's Cut - it's the only worthy version. I liked the subject matter to begin with and initially saw the Theatrical (before there was even a Director's) and it was okay - but the Director's lays out so much more, it's FANTASTIC.

[@benyblancofrbx]

I've been waiting for someone to react to this movie... you get an auto like just for that... hope you enjoy it as much as I did..

[@alexjeffries5276]

Directors cut was a masterclass in dialogue

7:45 thats JAMIE LANISTER lol pre game of thrones

[@george49743]

Oh shit your right I didn't even notice until you said something lol

[@cooldadbro7999]

My man, I was really hoping that you were gonna review this one! It's a great movie, pretty accurate with historical characters and timeframe. Cool story with great visuals and costume design, very underrated movie in my opinion. Lots of personal reflection on life choices and spirituality, Awesome !😎

[@masjidrats2012]

Muslim here. Love this movie

[@Diannalover]

Yay, glad to see you're checking out this film! Great reaction as ever. 22:42 That's actually the True Cross.

[@Pandemonius88]

Appreciating you! Reactions feel genuine and heartfelt

[@gingerbill128]

Love this film . Really great how they showed both sides of things . I have read a lot about this time period and especially Saladin and King Richard . Even though its not historically accurate i still think it does a good job of telling a story that overall gives a good sense of things. That felt like the Saladin i have read about in History. They had great actors playing the Muslims.

[@possiblepilotdeviation5791]

7:18 Fun fact, that actor, the big guy, is named Jouko Ahola, two time winner of the World's Strongest Man contest in 97 and 99.

[@RideoutReviews]

Thats a big strong dude

[@jonisilk]

If you weren't watching the directors cut, this whole review would in 1 part. So glad you're watching this version. A large part of what they put back in - all the characters motivations (of several key characters, not just Balian) - were cut from the theatrical run because they wanted a shorter run-time, but wanted to keep all the action set-pieces they spent huge amounts of money on. The theatrical cut was mess and you didn't care about anyone because you had no idea who most of the people were and what motivated them

[@SimoExMachina2]

The big guy at the beginning is Jouko Ahola, a Finnish Strong Man competitor and powerlifter. You can tell by his rally English accent where he comes from. Movies like this love big muscular guys, because they have the word "warrior" written all over them.

[@williampatterson5067]

Just never get tired of just looking at Eva what a true beauty. This is underrated because hollywood does not like Ridley Scott.

[@AshrafAnam]

Nah, Hollywood cashes on Muslims and Arabs being depicted as terrorists. They neither like positive nor neutral depictions of Muslims and Arabs. Crusade movies that made the Saracens villains were the ones successful.

[@phj223]

Interstellar and now this, it's all about the epic scale for our man 😎

[@grantdowling8550]

Love your reactions, brother. Very introspective and thoughtful.

[@MrJoshyguy]

On your question of who was in control of Jerusalem at this time; before the Muslims took it (as depicted) it was controlled by the Kingdom of Jerusalem, which was a crusader state formed in the wake of the first crusade around 100 years prior to these events. It was founded by knights and nobles mainly from France, but also plenty from Germany, Italy and England. The Kingdom of Jerusalem actually lasted until 1291, even though after 1187 (date of events depicted) the actual city itself was in Muslim hands.

[@Timeisaflat_O]

It takes two seconds browsing through the comments to understand that this movie has historical inaccuracies. As a Medieval history geek and complete simp for all things Dark Ages-Renaissance, this is my favorite movie. The Hospitaller character in particular. He is special. His "I put no stock in religion..." speech is really special. I really love this movie.

[@puzzled_pelican3626]

Naf Naf employee- what will you take? Me- WE WILL TAKE Jerusalem!!!!

Thank you for choosing these masterpiece, you enjoy every movie that I enjoyed deeply. Please react to Last Of Mohicans too!

[@Naldo2001]

Theres a small series on History Channel, show is called Knightfall which takes place around these times, when Christians and Muslims were at it. fighting for reclamation of the holy lands. Its pretty good. story is about the Templars

[@sonofbrittania5521]

this is my first time watching any of your reactions and man i gotta say i love how positive you are man. your like the black version of Bob Ross and i love it!

[@Rob_Fordd]

suicide was considered a much graver social taboo and sin in that era, and often the bodies of suicides would be desecrated in some way.

[@bugvswindshield]

Stardust is a family friendly great fantasy story. Great movie too.

[@JeM130177]

Blonde fella who was aiding Liam Neeson is David Thewlis. He plays Professor Lupin in Harry Potter :D the werewolf. Also Guy (or Gee however it's said...the King..) is Marton Csokas, he was very briefly in Lord of the Rings as Celeborn, Galadriel's husband! This film is jam packed with good people. I forgot Philip Glenister was in it..he's the dude that got shot in the face near the start. He's in a few shows here in the UK he's great. I'm glad you're enjoying Orlando. I believe he got his old dog from the set of this film, Sidi. I think they were a stray or something maybe. Adorable.

[@chefskiss6179]

"Is that ash or snow?" That's Ridley Scott. Great selection; I just want to swim in this beautiful piece of cinema. Try The Duellists next for another masterpiece.

Good comments, this is overlooked way too often by reviewers on YT !

Please review for greater glory; it's about the cristeros in Mexico and the Mexican government persecuting Catholics (story focuses primarily on one well-known martyr; a young boy).

[@lawrencedockery9032]

Glad that you checked out the Director's Cut instead of the theatrical release. It's much better. Not sure why the studios insist on interfering with Ridley Scott when he wants to make a movie. He's made some of the best movies out there: this one, Galdiator (which you've reacted to already), and Black Hawk Down (which you should definitely watch and react to)

[@auradzrts691]

Yes you have to watch this epic DC edition.

[@JH-my3bx]

Dude you always get the right movie! Liking before seeing is my advice on this one

[@lordcaradoc3222]

The director's Cut of this movie is maybe the best medieval/Crusade film of the century. I highly recommend 'The Name of The Rose' (1986) and Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) direcetd by Coppola.

[@justjsse8917]

One of my favorite films. Directors cut is far better than the original release

I've seen this movie multiple times, but I never noticed until now that at 8:00 that's Nikolai Coster-Waldau! :-)

[@chaost4544]

As many have pointed out it's historically inaccurate. However, it's a beautifully directed, top tier film. I can forgive it's historical inaccuracies because I feel it's a quality film with direction, visuals, cinematography at their top tier at the time, an interesting plot, and characters I liked. It's a damn shame the directors cut wasn't the theatrical release because Ridley Scott's true vision of the film probably would have nominated him for a lot of awards.

[@GerSan1979]

10:45 best reaction ever xD Good video bro!

[@RideoutReviews]

😂🤣thanks man

[@Fuzz32]

That actor is David Thewlis. He played Lupin in Harry Potter.

[@RideoutReviews]

Yeah, thats right! I knew I knew him.

[@sethdavis7036]

Yeah so the "I'll send you my physicians " is based off an actual event. Richard the lion heart knew how Islam worked and knew Saladin was devout Muslim. There is something in the Quran about having to help someone who asks for help. I'm not sure exactly but that's the jist. Anyways Richard had a fever for like two weeks and couldn't shake it and he knew that Saladin was obligated to help even his enemy if asked. So he sent Richard his personal physicians and broke the fever. True story. Crazy af I know. It's the same principle that saved ol boy from The Last Survivor. The reason the villagers helped him.

[@ahndee]

The Hospitalist is my favorite character in the film

[@rogaldorn1405]

nice vid'! Also first Crusade started because of the fact that since the siege of Jerusalem in 637, numerous raids of the caliphate happens toward christian pilgrims (killed or made slave) wich goes to the tomb of Christ so peoples at that time decided it was enough and time to get Jerusalem back.

I watched the original theater release of KOH recently and I didn't like it too much. Esp. how the Orlando Bloom character just gave up at the end of the battle. Just felt weird. So trying to watch the DC of it would be too much of a shore for me to do this again. Maybe I'll just watch your reaction, then. lol
