I saw the directos cut. So basically its a solid movie. The pros: Huge armies, Jerusalem, Medival France,... look is good
But there are some things weird:
But there are some things weird:
- orlando bloom is the incarnation of the good Leader. Good looking, well beaved, high morals, always on the rright path... the bad ones are bad, rally bad... black and white, not a lot in between. The character arc is non existent. The only one who get a character arc is orland blooms love interest... she is the most interesting character by far
- orlando has one facial expression throughout the whole movie
- lepracy is extremely contagious, people hold the kings hand, kiss his hand, touch his mask... thats silly, it would basically kill them
- the fight sceenes are not so well choriographed. It is cut cut cut...
- the romance is really cheese
- orlando is a genius... he orders that wells are being dug... nobody ever thought of this before! His dad owned that property for years
- orlando is the only survivor of the ship and a horse... no way
- where did orlando learn to fight? At the beginning he has no clue and in the end leads the army...
- why is the father returning back home after 20 years. He does not approach Orland and says hey, I am your dad, I am sorry, I have influence and property and wealth in jerusalem, join me. No. He on his way back to Jerusalem stopps and says can you fix our horses, he apologises but Orlando does not immediately follow him, he turns arround and says ok well good bye... its just weired
- the second most important leader in the arab army travels alone through the desert and in the middle of nowhere meets Orlando... with 1 Bodyguard with him... sure.
