    According to the Theory of War, which teaches that the best way to avoid the inconvenience of war is to pursue it away from your own country, it is more sensible for us to fight our notorious enemy in his own realm, with the joint power of our allies, than it is to wait for him at our own doors.

    Seeing as how "The Definitive Version" with 4 discs is the cheapest DVD version (god knows why), there isn't really a question here.

    Edit: Ah ok, I see now...why are DVDs so cheap over there? Either way, "Definitive Version". I mean, how much better can you get than "definitive"?

    Does the "definitive" edition have the extended Director's version? It could just be 3 other discs of bonus material. It also looks illegitimate.


    Lol.

    Whichever one has the same dvds as this version:

    Don't get any. Instead, spend your resources obtaining The Young Bride and realize that Turks are the luckiest people on Earth. Or at least the boy is. T__T

    Whatever has the Director's Cut, because the regular version is nearly unwatchable after seeing the DC.

    The version where Russel Crowe plays Balian, like he should've

    Isn't it ironic? Ridley Scott will cast Russel Crowe in ANYTHING, but in one role where it'd really suit him, he casts that pretty boy Orlando Bloom instead. Why? Just why?

    Because Russel Crowe would have looked stupid as the son of Liam Neeson.

    Well get rid of that subplot entirely. Make it closer to history, because Balian was never a poor blacksmith from France. He was actually a veteran commander and knight who had been in the Holy Land for some decades.

    You take this way too seriously if you're still bitter about a movie this old taking liberties.

    Wow. Just watched it and what can I say... a masterpiece.

    I particulary enjoyed the portrayal of Baldwin IV, such a sad illness to of lived with.

    Buy some blank dvds and watch it instead, more entertaining and you'll learn more about the Crusades

    Stop making sense.

    In fact, I'll do you one better: Liam Neeson taking Jeremy Irons' place as the advisor/knight to Baldwin. Not that he did a poor job, per se, but because it feels wrong to boot Neeson--he did an excellent job, IMHO. Oh, and by removing the need to focus on Orlando Bloom, the knight sidekicks could have been kept alive. That's one nice thing about Crowe; he pulls off a convincing non-modern action hero (Gladiator, 3:10 to Yuma), but he can do it either both alone or as part of a larger crowd. Bloom, on the other hand, is often so quiet and bland as a protagonist, that he would be lost even more in the background if there were entertaining secondary characters around him.

    Director's Cut was definitely better as a movie, but still sucked as a movie about the Crusades.

    No matter what, the extra documentaries are fantastic. I got the one widescreen one at the bottom because I was at Wal-mart and it was there and the second disc is great actually.

    i liked the music. and some of the fighting was pretty pwn (longhaired german guy was hardcore)

    story felt so fractured though, and bloom definately didnt fit the role he was playing.

    oh and how the muslims were all nice and we had evil templar bastards massacring everyone on a whim.. basically the entire historical accuracy i was pissed at but tbh its just an action movie, it doesnt pretend to be accurate.


    but for all the history buffs that do get annoyed at historical innacuracies, his coming out with robin hood next - so dont get angry at that, because theres lots of views on robin and besides, does anyone else remember the last robin hood? (played by americans, and an african american 'arab'?)
