In final analysis, “Kingdom of Heaven” is an exceptional film retelling a tale of antiquity, but deviates from historical records in several areas. These are not issues in the film; rather, they are divergences that a knowledgeable movie watcher should be aware of. Any film based on history is likely to have similar nonconformities, but finding out the reality of the situation can be an enlightening and informative experience. It should be noted that “Kingdom of Heaven’s” historical inaccuracies never detract from the overall experience and the film has the effect of raising some very interesting questions on a variety of topics, such as religion and morality. It remains a powerful and entertaining movie to watch, an achievement not all films can boast of.
