I can't decide if I loved or hated this film.

Hated because it was long, the story meandered and failed to draw me in. At one point I was so bored and my backside so numb that I even contemplated leaving half way through, (Not something I do that often at the cinema).

Loved because it was visually stunning with highly saturated images. Orland Bloom does well in his first starring role, but it is Edward Norton who steals the limelight, with a most amazing performance as King Baldwin, leaving people in the audience whispering "who was that masked man?".
