I think Kingdom of heaven will always suffer from having Orlando Bloom as the main character. He is supposed to look pained and thoughtful, but it is never believable. But in the extended Director's Cut the rest of the cast is given room to shine and this helps the film immensely. Especially Eva Green's character is fascinating. Also the cinematography is breathtaking and I'm so shallow when it comes to stunning visuals that I like the film better just for that.

Parts of the plot is still problematic though, and historically correct it is not.

And Han shot first. I will fight for that until the grave. ;P
