Reader comments: The Kingdom
TYSONATTHEMOVIES | Oct. 14, 2007
Enough of the rating comments because they are irrelevent to
the quality of the Kingdom as a work of film, but if you are
truly that sensitive about it go to screen it dot com or
just avoid rate R movies altogether. The movie had an
interesting point brought up when the parallels of Jamie
Foxx and the terrorist stating that they both whispered that
they were going to "kill them all" to Jennifer Garner and
his granddaughter, respectively, showing that on both sides
of conflict one sees himself or herself as being right. The
plot was somewhat jaded and the camera work and film stock
seemed like it was trying to be a report from CNN or CSPAN
which made the narrative somewhat boring, but overall a
decent movie worth seeing at least once.

Dear Anonymouse,
This movie is "real life?" What planet are you on?

This movie has great action (violence not sex) I don't
understand why the critics have been so critical. It is
intense and the political message is also there. I would
highly recommend this to anyone who likes a good action movie.

It always surprises me that people are fine with seeing
people shoot, and kill, the violence and the gore are ok.
But if someone is nude they get offended. I think we are not
suppose to kill, but it really is ok to have sex, not that I
like to watch it but it is less offensive and repulsive then
violence.
This movie is not real life.

I'm actually thrilled to finally see a little jingoism on
screen. It's overdue escapism that actually paints bad guys
as bad guys. With 98% of all real-world terrorism being
perpetrated by (gasp) those of the Wahhabist Saudi
tradition, I look forward to seeing them get their just
rewards on screen once in a while. This
bend-over-backward-navel-gazing tendency we have to look
everywhere BUT at the real problem is irritating.
I'm happy to let the fois-grois and croissant crowd
congratulate each other over the superficial, insipid
"insight" that they gain from the oh-so-self-knowing wisdom
of "in the Valley of Elah" and "Paradise Now". I'll happily
take a break and enjoy Jamie Fox and Jennifer Gardner kick a
little terrorist butt onscreen. It certainly is an
infrequent pleasure these days.

Can you please be more detailed...... You said there is sex
in the movie. I don't want to get there and be upset if
there is nudity.
Thank You

I am concerned.
Why profanity in this movies and so many upcoming movies?
This type of content takes away from a great story line.
