From the previews it looks like it might be glorifying the Crusades in a really negative way. I see fighting and killing and then "For the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory." I'm worried about it. As if the Catholic Church needs any more flack from society right now. I'll keep my hopes up though.

From a review of the film:
[quote]According to Scott ([i]the director[/i]), though, it's actually the Christian forces that come off worst. "All you've got to do is tell the truth," says the director. "The whitest knight was Saladin and the worst fundamentalists were Christian. They made the problem."[/quote]

Aw, carp. You know what we will have, though? Endless History Channel specials on the Crusades and endless Time and Newsweek stories that just do not understand history or religion.

If people think that Gladiator was historical, then they'll think Kingdom of Heaven is historical.... Sadly, people are stupid.
