Critics Consensus

Although it's an objective and handsomely presented take on the Crusades, Kingdom of Heaven lacks depth.

Love the setup of the story and even though it's not direct history, I value the honesty and loyalty to the true stories. Loved the soundtrack as well.

Matheus p

O roteiro do filme tenta forçar um herói extremamente passivo, sendo jogado de uma ponta a outra do mapa, logo após descobrir que era filho de um nobre. E mesmo passando anos como plebeu, esse ferreiro era extremamente habilidoso com espada, podia liderar exércitos e governar terras. As atuações são horríveis, com exceção da atuação de Edward Norton, cujo personagem é o único ponto bom e memorável do filme; apesar de ter pouco tempo de tela. O filme é bem a cara dos filmes anos 2000, com aqueles filtros azuis horríveis, que indicavam que a trama se passava em lugares frios (cenas na França). O roteiro é ruim, a fotografia não é lá essas coisas, a direção é boa, mas só isso; sem falar que o filme é historicamente impreciso. Espero que a versão de 3 horas seja melhor.

The miscasting of the lightweight Bloom proves fatal: instead of galvanizing this epic, he sucks the energy out of it.

Gone With The Twins

Storytelling is sacrificed for spectacle, resulting in something breathtakingly epic yet partially unsatisfying and unfortunately forgettable.

Rated: 7/10

Leigh Paatsch

Herald Sun (Australia)

The ballistic bloodletting of the battle for Jerusalem is indeed awe-inspiring, but Scott also finds some space inside such heavy, hellish traffic to humanise the conflict.

Rated: 3.5/5

Examiner.com

Even with the addition of 45 minutes of new footage, Sir Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven remains a rather uneventful epic with a story that fails to engage.
