Recently, he usually churns out crappy movies with no bite.
This one instead had excellent storytelling, editing, setting.
I was hooked from start to finish.
Really an exception for Scott and for movies produced under covid.
I highly recommend it to anyone into mature filmmaking.
This movie is 20 years too late. Imagine if this came out in 2001. Everyone would go bonkers!
shareWhy?
It felt modern and current.
None of it was outdated nor old fashioned.
It was the era of ancient / medieval war movies. Just like nowadays is the era of superhero movies.
shareI have to agree with action. People today are just too engulfed by superhero films and are just not open to historical films as they used to be in the past. Also with the western political issues on sjw propaganda, they are imploding as a culture and loathe these types of films that don't have the political agenda the west is currently obsessed with.
shareI rate this as the best film of 2021
shareAgreed, great movie. I'd put in my top5 of 2021.
shareThis was a fantastic film. I cannot believe how underappreciated it is simply because it's not a superhero film nor an sjw film. It reminded me of so many films of this type in the 80s with Kurosawa's influence.
shareI think it gets underappreciated because too many idiots think it is a metoo movie, and diminish it with such label.
It is unfortunate, because imho it is this year best film.
Boring as hell!
shareI thoroughly enjoyed it as well, will probably never watch again for the obvious reasons but it was a damn good film.
shareYes, it doesn't have hight rewatchability value. But not every good movie does.
shareAgreed. I loved the performances by Damon, Domer, Driver and Affleck, and the writing was excellent as well as the set pieces, costumes/wardrobe and cinematography. And I take that back, in that I probably will watch it again but one of those once in a blue moon type things, the subject matter is just really heavy is all.
shareIt's rare for a 3 hour movie to have 3 hours of worthwhile content but this one did, the different perspectives of the same events added layers of intrigue. No question this movie deserves to be better known.
