...Meanwhile the theatrical cut of Kingdom of Heaven is pretty dull....

I appreciated the pace. It seemed to be purposeful. It immersed us in the rythm of the period. I can understand why others could think it was slow for an epic war film.

I knew that KOH would have a directors cut since it was announced so early. So I made one of the toughest movie decisions in my life and ignored the film for most of 2005, but it was okay because I had Revenge of the Sith to distract me. I consider the Directors Cut of Kingdom of Heaven to be the best historical epic since Lawrence of Arabia, and I mean that, it's easily one of the best films I have ever witnessed, so when I saw the theatrical cut on TV in 2008 I was horrified and offended. So I'm biased, I would probably be here defending it as a "solid but flawed film" in 2005 had I seen it in theaters, but Jesus is it basically two different movies. One is one of the best films I have ever seen and the other is....not bad.
