In the 60s they made a ton of huge grand Sword 'n Sandals blockbusters (Cleopatra, Ben-Hur, Lawrence of Arabia, etc) and none of them were accurate but they're some of the most famous films Hollywood ever made because viewers couldn't believe the sheer epic scale of the productions. They were huge projects that took a long time and lot of money to coordinate and put together.

Lots of weekends as a lad, it felt like that's all my local channels would play.

Those Hercules movies were embedded into my head growing up. Made me happy finding out Mystery Science Theater would take the piss out of them.

Atun Shei I think, who's turning into more and more of a faggot. Stop virtue signalling about the Rebs and make more videos about 17th century New England, stupid.

The History Buffs guy generally makes good content but he went out of his way to be a nitpicking cunt about Apocalypto because he doesn't like St. Mel.

Just saw it. He is truly a filmmaker that needs to have limitations placed on him.

I enjoyed the movie but I have lots of thoughts on it, Ridley should be told there’s no budget for cgi.

It was more intense to me in the first movie when the dude dropped down his silver faceplate than when they have a full naval battle with sharks in this one.

Also why are there no modern action stars with PRESENCE anymore?

What makes Russell Crowe electric is not his physique, it’s the fact that he has a dangerous aura. Look at him in TLADILA or Romper Stomper, he’s fucking magnet and electrifying.

That’s a whole separate topic though, like how we have The Rock today filling the Arnold role. Not even in the same galaxy

You’ll enjoy it. I just think CGI is a plague and I wish we had more charismatic action stars.

Main gladiator dude also looked like he was 5'6 and yet routinely threw around men that were probably 100lbs more than him

That's a given that everyone understands. I remeber some history Youtuber saying that Braveheart is laughably historically inaccurate and he should hate it for it, but as a movie and an action-epic in particular, it's amazing and he loves it. In a similar vein, the original Gladiator and Kingdom of Heaven are widely liked because they were well-made movies. The problem is that that since KoH, Scott's historical spectacle flicks don't seem to be particularly spectacular.

I liked Napoleon even though I can't stand Joaquin Phoenix. Glad I saw it in theaters.

I immediately forgot about it before I'd even gotten back into my car, so obviously I didn't like it that much. Yeah there's just a lot of better directors now than Scott. His movies don't blow me away anymore.
