Kingdom of Heaven
Really enjoyed this one, it's no gladiator, but it's pretty good. Decent fights, and other than a slightly wooden Orlando Bloom the acting was pretty good.
What was really fantastic was the presentation of siege warfare. And even if they were only mentioned at least the movie did bring up issues of water, food, workers etc needed to make or defend a siege.
Only real gripe is Bloom needs to be sent to a gym if I'm to keep seeing him a as blacksmith (pirates and this movie) his arms are just too scrawny for me to buy that he's been beating the shit out of metal all day.
Final: 8/10
It had me from the moment the main character stabs a priest with a semi-molten sword and throws him into the forge
