After watching the film and researching about it i got to know i watched the directors cut of the film, unknowingly though in the hindsight that was the better choice as most people agree for it to be the definite version.
the epic historical film was my jam, watching this film right around the time i am reading about Saladin is a cherry on top. the film feels truly epic as there always felt more to the story than being shown yet never incomplete.
what was lovely about the film is its cast who all played their roles as to make them believable entitles of history books, yet the protagonist Balian of Ibelin (Orlando Bloom) seemed missing some elements just enough to never draw me in, though its possible i was more fascinated by Saladin (Ghassan Massoud) than Balian of Ibelin.

just of the mask i felt this guy (Baldwin IV) to be the coolest
to anyone who is on the same boat to watch an epic with historical content this film is a definite recommendation
