From the trailers, I don't think I want to watch "Kingdom of Heaven" either. Like you, I've never 'worshipped at the pretty boy alter', and as for the story itself, it didn't seem like something I would enjoy. I've seen other movies of that type (Troy, Braveheart, Gladiator) and was disappointed by all of them (despite the fact that Mel Gibson is one of my favourite actors), so I won't bother with another one in the same genre.
I did like Saving Private Ryan though, but I think that one is very different from the other three, and besides, WW2 has always fascinated me.
I never go to horror movies either. I enjoy the occasional psycological thriller (but will much rather watch it at home with all the lights on), but gore bothers me a LOT.
