Watch the Directors Cut
Added 3/19/2010
The theatrical release is OK, the directors cut, with almost an hour more of story, is great, more backstory, definitely more violent. No idea why they cut out so much in the theatrical cut. As I said, I thought the theatrical release was ok, but the directors cut is awesome, its almost like a completely different movie. There is so much more story in the DC, I was actully pretty shocked. Doubt I will ever watch the theatrical release again.

Always Get the Director's Cut
Added 2/23/2010
When I saw this film in the theater, I was less than enthused. I felt that it was confusing and that it appeared to be missing pieces of the storyline. I thought that perhaps the projectionist had missed a reel. Almost right. The film was severely cut and released to theaters in a 50 minute shorter version. This one, however, is the film it should have been. The movie actually makes sense now. Characters are understood, scenes no longer are disconnected, and you get a true feel for the period. It still suffers from excessive length, but at least the viewer can watch it in parts at home. Avoid the theatrical release DVD and buy this one.

Great Movie. Bare-bones Version
Added 2/22/2010
After having sold our 4-disk director's cut, we find that the blu-ray version we ordered has no special features whatsoever. No doubt Fox will come out with a 2-disc version in six months. Personally, I used the mirror image side to see the idiot who just wasted his money on the blu-ray and needs to re-purchase the DVD.
Here's the history:
1. bought Kingdom of Heaven 2-disc DVD
2. bought Kingdom of Heaven 4-disc DVD
3. sold Kingdom of Heaven 4-disc DVD
4. bought Kingdom of Heaven blu-ray
5. waiting to see Kingdom of Heaven the Ultimate Cut (they did this with Watchmen)
6. waiting for blu-ray to be discontinued, blu-ray players no longer made and everything going to studio-controlled downloads.
I think I'm spelling Kingdumb wrong. We are the dumb part, while the studios are quadruple-dipping.
PS. Thank Heaven this never came out on VHS, because it soooo wouldn't have worked on our Betamax!

My present for myself
Added 2/11/2010
Have been wanting to own this for over a year but could not
afford the amount stores were asking.
Was able to buy this for myself and other gifts for my family.
So glad to have this in my collection.
Great condition, speedy delivery.
