Well... I don't want to ruin the movie for those who haven't seen it, but he was a superfast learner, too "warrior," and too wise. It's not something that you might miss if you see the movie.
I did hear that the original version of the movie (which will be out on DVD) is a lot longer than the theater version. So, i'll have to see that.

I watched Kingdom of Heaven today;
I'll paste the 'review' I wrote on my blog:
The Kingdom Of Heaven in a nutshell (contains spoilers):
A blacksmith named Balian meets his father for the first time ever. His father asks him to come to Jerusalem, and he agrees. On the way, his father dies, and despite having known him for all of 12 hours, our hero picks up his father's cause.
I forgot to mention that shortly before his death, Balian's father teaches him how to use a sword for a whole 20 seconds, and this is sufficient training for any swordsmanship that is required of him for the rest of the movie. Through the grand process of osmosis, Balian also learns 30 years of battle tactics in the space of 2 days, and without any delay is seen shouting orders to tens of thousands of men, as well having strategic knowledge on par with the greatest commanders of the era.
So we find out that Balian is the sole heir of his father's kingdom, and once his father dies, he naturally inherits his father's land, along with its people.
I must mention at this point that Balian's father is depicted earlier in the movie as a very caring man who would gladly lay down his life for others. Yet upon his arrival to his inherited land, it takes Balian a whole 3 seconds to realise that the people don't have water.
Now as inspirational and feel-good as this scene was, I really didn't buy the story that Balian's father didn't notice the tumbleweed and barrenness of the land, and realise that maybe he should dig a few wells.
Aside from the weak plot, the rest of the movie has some decent action sequences, but I must say that the 'epic warfare movie' genre is spreading itself a little thin these days. They should really give it a break until someone figures out a way to not make these movies all look the same.
That brings me to my last point. Orlando Bloom. Now I don't hate him or anything, but truth be told... the guy can't act. Don't get me wrong, I loved him as Legolas in LOTR, but after watching two of his movies, it becomes apparent that Orlando only has one facial expression in his whole arsenal of acting techniques.
That point aside, he really needs to do something about that voice. He really can't be taken seriously as any other character than a pretty-boy if he doesn't stop delivering his lines as if he were reading erotic poetry.
As I said before, I don't hate the guy, in fact there are a lot of actors who are much worse than him (see Reeves, Keanu). Yet I think it's all too easy for directors these days to think "Hmmm, Orlando Bloom has starred in what, 5 of the highest grossing films of the past 3 years, let's use him!"

** Caution: Spoiler:
About the water digging thing... I didn't think that it was stupid that his father didn't dig for wells, but what blew my mind is that he was a blacksmith in FRANCE, and he came to the DESERT and TAUGHT ARABS (who have only been serviving in the desert for thousands of years how to DIG A WELL. (Which BTW, were only a few feet deep and were all within a few feet of each other
)

1. Salah Addin did not force any of the people to leave once he took the city.
2. In the battle that took place outside of the city (where the "crusaders were thirsty," I believe Salah Addin's army was smaller.... the movie portrayed them as larger.
3. I have my doubts about how the last battle ended, but i'll have to do more research.
