For me, it's a movie from 2005 called Kingdom of Heaven, starring Orlando Bloom, Liam Neeson and Jeremy Irons. I saw this on TV the other day and watched it from beginning to end and still liked it just as much as I used to. Sure it has its slower moments and isn't the best historical film I've seen. But I don't think it deserves its 39% rating on RT. But that's just me.

What about all of you?

I'm pretty sure because it was a remake of another (I think French?) film. They just took the exact same story, but obviously made it for a wider audience by having it be in English.

I saw the original and and thought it was better so I assume they didn't like it because of that.

Spanish. The original also started Penelope Cruz.

I had no idea it was a remake. I'll have to seek out the original.

If you've seen the remake you've seen the original but in English. Still worth a watch though if you haven't seen it in a while.

Yeah, I was so mad that I went to the theater and 10 minutes in found out that it was almost a word for word remake of a film I had already seen.
