@FuriousMachine The Gwar level finale was really something! I’m just amazed how well all of the over the top material worked, with a vile Dennis Quaid as the cherry on top.
Top tier filmmaking. It reminded me a bit of the film Running Scared in that regard, but with way more brains behind it. Gladiator II was a crushing disappointment for me.
Nothing is earned, stuff just happens for the sake of it. I found the action completely pedestrian, boring and absurd in the worst ‘Hollywood’ sort of way, which is insane when you consider the scale of what’s actually happening on screen.
The plot is ludicrous with giant leaps in logic needed from the audience to stomach it. I suppose I should sit with it for a bit before declaring it as his worst ever (Exodus: Gods and Kings exists) but my goodness does he ever seem checked out to me here. @Jimmer-jammer @FuriousMachine Well, no one cared about The Last Duel and he had his big rant at cinema goers, popcorn movies, sequels and Marvel, right?
