Movies, like music, will always have a loved it/hated it response from viewers and listeners.I thought Orlando Bloom did a great job in Kingdom Of Heaven. I enjoyed his work throughout
the film much more than Joaquin Phoenix in Gladiator. 
Phoenix did okay but his acting did not stand up to that of Russell Crowe, Oliver Reed (excellent) or the limited role of Richard Harris.

	^^I've read something similar about monsieur Bloom as well. He still looks like a small boy in that movie. To imagine him as this great powerful sword slinger is not plausible imo. He doesn't even look big enough to lift the sword. The other thing letting him down is the fact that he is a bad actor. He works as an elf though I do like Kingdom of Heaven, even if Bloom is an irritating choice as the lead. Oh well, at the time he was just about the most sought out actor, but I gather that was mostly down to his looks and not exactly his rather limited acting skills.
