First, the only other movies/series that show the hell and emotion of the Civil War are 'North and South' and 'Gettysburg'.
When it comes to Cold Mountain there is one huge flaw. A couple is in love. But when I look at the moments that Law and Kidman share together they miss a certain chemistry. I am not saying that they act poor. In fact they act superb!
Zellweger's role was certainly worth an Oscar. Many might think that her acting is overacted. Like she is screaming for attention like: Look at me I am acting!. Sorry but I disagree. Her role gives a lot of life to the movie.
The rest of the movie is just what I call perfect but because of that one huge flaw it feels like eternal incomplete...

I can start by saying I liked or didn't like this movie. Well lets keep that for the end.
There is no denying that 'Kingdom of Heaven' failed in theaters. But why did it fail? Why are so many critics negative?
Lets start with the cast. The cast is great. Even Orlando Bloom. But most people think different about his acting. Why? 1. Bloom is being overrated at everything. Some people will dislike him for that. And even start to hate him, so they want to bring him down. Even if this is his best performance till now. 2. Maybe some people are jealous at success. Or the feeling that their girlfriend thinks Orlando is the "Better man" in bed than their partner. 3. I can keep going on like this about Orlando, but I know most still dislike him. My own opinion about him in Kingdom of Heaven: Good enough to lead...
Another problem are the holes in the plot. Why are they there? Simple, this is not the movie with all scenes that were filmed. The extended KoH 4disc DVD edition will be 220 minutes long. So if you hated the gaps. Wait for this edition to come. Thats all I can say about that.
History, is the subject I love! I read about it all the time. I don't have to tell that KoH is inaccurate to history. And many people still hate history when it is altered in an easy story to understand. And still they say: How boring! All they talk about is God an Alah. Well sorry guys but our history is mainly shaped by belief and religion.
The music score, is just great! Worth an Oscar if you ask me. I think 60% likes the music and 40% dislikes hit. This also gives a point why people dislike KoH.
The effects. Also worth an Oscar. The action is great. I don't have anything to ad to this.
Well I could keep going on and waste my time to convince certain people to think different about this movie. But what is the point? After all you said it yourself already the movie sucked right? I just told you why you think it sucks.
In the end KoH contains an important lesson and comes out as an movie with a better story than Gladiator. Just wait for the 4 disc DVD edition. This one will rock you away.

First of all this is the best invasion flick there is...
Okay I don't want to be Mister nay say, but there is just one thing that gave me a bad feeling after seeing this movie. The acting, oh it was just fine. Tom Cruise did quite a good job, but who really impressed me was Dakota Fanning.
The special effects are great, the music score was excellent. The scenes, damn what a terrific work. Spielberg's unexpected surprise moments had certainly given their impact. Those moments made me think of surprise scenes like in Indiana Jones. So thats a good thing.
Well the content of the movie. The plot, the story, now there we have the problem. There is no real strong plot. I don't care that there isn't much explaining about the aliens. Cause which doctor would be able to do a thorough scan on them right? But the missing of a good story, like about why they invade earth is a big disappointment.
So Spielberg do me and all the other people who have mostly positive feelings about this movie, bring out a Director's Cut or Extended, Revised version of this movie on DVD. Make sure it has a strong plot.
So folks if he does this, I think we have an great movie. But until now I can only say it is the best invasion flick that needs tightening in the plot.
