Editorial Reviews:

Among the best directors of our time, Ridley Scott (Gladiator), contributes generously to this extraordinary Collector's Edition of Kingdom of Heaven. Featuring his Director's Cut of the film and hours of fascinating extras ? including a six-part tour from conception to completion of filmmaking ? this definitive set makes what Variety called a "genuinely spectacular" film even more so!

An epic marvel that's as beautifully acted as it is visually awesome, Kingdom of Heaven stars Orlando Bloom as Balian, a Jerusalem blacksmith who has lost his family ? and his faith. But when his father (Liam Neeson) shows him his destiny, Balian vows to defend his country, and in the process, falls in love, becomes a formidable leader, and steps forever into history

Summary: Better than the theatrical cut.
Comment: I really enjoyed the theatrical cut until I saw the Director's cut which was way better. Here Ridley Scott is at his masterful best bringing this epic to life. With this cut the story in my opinion is explained better with the main characters and the added scenes were necessary to understand the story better. Orlando Bloom fits his role as Balian perfectly along with Liam Neeson, Jeremy Irons, Eva Green and Brendan Gleeson. Also a magnificent soundtrack composed by Harry Gregson-William which helps bring feeling to the movie. However with this movie running a total of 194 minutes it may bore and some people may think the story takes too long to open up.

Fox had Scott cut the film by nearly an hour deleting significant and important character development at the expense of trying to fit in more showings per theater. This ultimetely helped to destroy this movie in the box office. This cut is presented in a four disc layout with the movie presented on two discs, with each disc holding about ninty seven mintues of the movie. The special features are also presented on two discs and explains everything from storyboards to premiers.

I highly recommend the Director's cut over the theatrical version with alot more character and background issues are professionally defined in this magnificent epic that shows that Ridley Scott is truly among the best Directors of our time.

Summary: Magnificent epic
Comment: I liked the theater version but when I saw the long one I realized the scope of the whole story, and so enjoyed the development of all the characters that I wanted to own it. It's a jewel of a movie, and I loved to learn more about how it was imagined and made. Fantastic artistry and craftsmanship. A masterpiece.
