This reviewer is a little kinder to Orlando Bloom.

As for the cast, you really can’t ask for better. Orlando Bloom is starting to grow on me as an actor. I really liked him in LOTR (but I am so in love with those movies its sick) and Pirates. He does a good job here. He doesn’t possess the presence of Jeremy Irons or Liam Neeson, but he tries. There are memorable characters throughout the film, but I think that Neeson steals it. Actually, let me take that back, Ghassan Massoud, the actor that plays Saladin really cements the story. You feel sympathy for his plight, and can read the struggle...

Very interesting.
