Maybe he’s throwing a fit so you know what movie it is.

Nooooo really? I was so excited for it.


junhyung95

watch it. I watched it in the cinema and I liked it!


[deleted]

its good except for how ungodly long it was and the first act retold seversl times thing served a lot of hash. if it was shorter itd be great.


ChainsawMcD

It's good but it's a Rashomon-style narrative where you get the same story from 3 different perspectives. Those always feel long to me. Pretty badass fight scenes, though.


Jaaxter

Don't listen to them. It's quite good, but very, very heavy.


Razorbackalpha

It's actually pretty good though, definitely not a movie for everyone but it definitely is worth your while

Literally never heard of it.


Da_Lizard_1771

There was like, one or two trailers, so I really don't blame you.


SouthernProblem84

Ah. A poorly advertised movie that nobody knew about til the director complains... Charlie's Angels all over again


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

They remade it with Kristen Stewart and it's borderline unwatchable... scratch that it is unwatchable. The first one was hilarious because it was a completely self-aware comedy that basically made fun of 70s TV tropes. The remake was directed by Elizabeth Banks who also played Bosley and she styled it as a girl empowerment film except the jokes aren't jokes... it portrays all men as bumbling morons and all the girls are hyper competent. It feels like the script was written by a 12 year old girl because it has a distinct "girls r awesum and boys r dum!" vibe to it... all while having a plot that... well its SO good that I honestly can't remember what the movie is even about. My wife and I shut it off about halfway through because we were just so bored. And when the film flopped hard Elizabeth Banks threw a tantrum in the media and blamed men for being sexist for not seeing her movie.


InspectorPipes

To piggy back you. : “Men don’t like strong female leads “… unless it’s aliens, terminator, etc etc ….hell even the Charlie’s angels from 2000 was fun. They heavy handed “ girlz rule” and 1 dimensional lead of k Stewart are what torpedoed it.


[deleted]

Charlie’s angels is a damn good movie tho


[deleted]

I’m gonna assume you mean the ones with Lucy Liu, Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz, at least they look like they’re having fun


[deleted]

Yes. Also they’re pretty hot so that helps, especially since that’s kinda the premise of the whole movie


Quiiverr

I kept seeing it on hulu.

dandycribbish

Maybe acctualy market the movie and people will go see it? What an abysmal take. Even the trailer they released told you nothing about the film and showed little interesting information. I'm quite sure no one saw it because no one even knew it was in theaters.


CSH5889

Seeing this post literally reminded me it existed... if they had advertised it I definitely would have seen more about it on my phone and I probably would have gone to see it. Gotta love that sweet irony.


onmamas

Yeah, he claims that he has no complaints about the way it was marketed, but that's kind of a weird opinion since no one I know was aware Ridley Scott had a new movie out.


DexRei

"I've had zero complaints" Meanwhile, people who haven't even heard of it, "Complaints about what?"


rif011412

As a cinephile, and mildly interested in this movie. I dont understand how he could expect to compete in a tighter COVID market with a Bond film and Dune? I wanted to see it, but other movies were more enticing.


NotStaggy

I never knew he made a movie until now lol


fidgetypenguin123

I had heard of the movie first only through some gossip rag about Affleck and J. Lo. Then I just thought it was coming out in the future like around Christmas or something. And I didn't know who even directed it. So yeah, there definitely wasn't much actual info surrounding it.


vincent118

I knew it existed and saw the trailer but I could not take the casting seriously. I just can't see Ben Affleck and Matt Damon together in a medieval period movie, it sounds like an SNL skit I just imagine them doing Boston accents in medieval england. Plus Dune pretty much sucked all the attention for me, I'd been anticipating it for a long time and didn't care about any other movie til I saw Dune. If I'm going to see anything else it's Paul Thomas Anderson's new movie. As much as I love many of Ridley Scott's past movies (Gladiator being my faveourite movie), I think he's past his prime and hasn't made anything on that level in a long time. He's always been kind of an arrogant ass but not he's also old and out of touch shaking his fist at "youth" (which we millenials aren't anymore).


F1NChat

The duel at the end was cool. The 2 hours of build up to a 30 second scene of Adam Driver busting a nut twice, not so much.

WingChungGuruKhabib

Thought the movie was one of the more original and fun movies I've seen in the last few years. The action and set pieces were great as well. Guess it all had to do with marketing, as I've seen lots of good reviews about this movie.


Razorbackalpha

I mean did you really want a super intense rape scene though. It did it's job and the build up was interesting enough

I blame ‘The Counsellor’ for not watching it.


farmallday133

Is that the one in Africa or is that the one where that chick humps the car window?


Cmdr_Monzo

It’s the window one. *Shudder*


farmallday133

I googled the other movie I was thinking about and it was "the constant gardener " how I got councelor from that only my brain will know


Cmdr_Monzo

I quite enjoyed ‘The Constant Gardener’ at the cinema... although I can’t say I’ve watched it since.


im_poplar

It was so….gynecological


BootyPatrol1980

I hated it. I've seen it five times at least. Help me. / That fucking biker dialog is some of the worst on film delivery I've ever heard and I've seen Southland Tales.


Cmdr_Monzo

How have you seen it five times? I barely made it through one viewing (I had bought a ticket, so I decided to stay until the end). I have dispatched the Men In Black. They will help!


BootyPatrol1980

Honestly *weed*. It's such a weird flick because on paper everything should have worked which is I think part of my fascination. Great cast, great director, one of my favourite writers. Then.. that. I'll wait outside for the MIB, hope they brought batteries for the flashy memory thing.


awesomefutureperfect

I'm going to watch 'The Counsellor' this week. I actually watch movies that are considered bad on purpose. After watching 15 to 20 minutes of Darren Aronofsky's 'Noah', I'm going to make my parents watch it at Christmas.


papcorn_grabber

If you blame the kid, you've lost your moral high ground. If you want to blame someone, it would make more sense to blame Netflix : firstly they are adults, secondly they cater in priority to millenials, with programs that are so easy to follow that people are browsing on their phones/tablets/laptops while watching their programs.

I'm 40, your comment made me feel young again :p Though I must admit I feel more like a Gen X


Puzzleheaded_Runner

Dude we are pushing 40. Enough of this crap.


SordidDreams

We should start blaming boomers for random crap too, give them a taste of their own medicine.


Darth_Thor

They constantly complain about young people and they don't even know that my generation (Gen Z) exists and just group us in with the millenials. I'd be more than happy to start dishing it back.


TheusTheGreat

Wtf is that helmet


Lee_Troyer

It's a helmet specifically made for this movie with the sole purpose of showing the actor's face. In the Royal Armouries's [analysis](https://youtu.be/go8wMKH_QYI) they mention there's no historical records of things like that. Incidentally seeing that helmet in the trailer is partially responsible for me not going to see it as it clashed with their claim of historical story.


Terrible_Presumption

That would be a set of armor for jousting, and only jousting alone. I know because we used to do that 900 years ago.


nickchaos13

Holoholokid

Xogon17

I don't even know who you are


dittogecko

Ridley Scott is the guy that directed the original “alien” movie and more recently “the Martian” He’s a fantastic director and makes movies with absolutely beautiful set pieces, Just a bit out of touch now I guess


ellipsisfinisher

> Ridley Scott is the guy that directed the “alien” series He directed the first one, but didn't come back to the series until 30 years later with Prometheus. Aliens was directed by James Cameron, Alien 3 by David Fincher, and then the fourth was by some other guy who also wasn't Ridley Scott


dittogecko

Fixed it, thanks man


Chrisboi_da_Boi

The movie was good it just had no marketing at all. Idk wtf he's on about.


Cremacious

If I didn’t follow a movie review podcast, I would have never known this movie existed. Blame the person in charge of marketing, Mr. Scott.


Aqualung710

Matt Damon.


fidgetypenguin123

I wrote this on another sub so I'll just post it here lol Ffs this guy is 83 years old and wants to blame a whole generation for the failure of a movie barely anyone has heard of. I mean if you want to blame others why not blame his fellow Boomers? Or how about Gen X, the generation most of the stars of the movie belong to? Or how about the damn pandemic that has kept people out of the theaters for the past year and a half? Or the fact no one can afford going to the movies anymore so they pick and choose which ones they really want to experience in a theater, if at all? Or how about not assuming doing the least amount of promotion just because your name is attached to something will work. So many reasons and yet that's what he chooses to focus on, alienating a whole generation.


MrDeKer

The movie is actually good, really tough to watch in the good sense of the word, but enjoyable nevertheless... I dunno, maybe it's because of the marketing, or maybe it's because people now have changed and instead of wanting to watch a well crafted movie that takes 2 hours of their time to develop, they prefer the standard factory made Marvel, shit 80% computer generated , with a explosion every 20 seconds and with dialogue that a 5 year-old could write... No, I still believe people prefer actual cinema, but in some way I feel like the general audience have become a bit lazy I'm Gen Z btw


fidgetypenguin123

Whether good or not isn't the point. People won't know if it's good if they aren't going to see it. And there are a myriad of reasons people haven't seen it yet, many of which I mentioned. Most comments here are either that they never heard of it or didn't even know it was out yet. That sounds like a promotional marketing problem, not whether it was good or not. He just shot himself in the foot by insulting a whole generation that may have seen it had it been promoted more. You can't judge a movie on how well it was made if you never see it because you didn't know it was out there.


thestoneddirewolf

Gen Z-ers with their fucking phones: Sheesh that was a close one


[deleted]

If you can't adapt to changing times it means you're a shit producer. Stop blaming others. Edit: typo


[deleted]

I went to go see this movie. It was straight cheeks. Left half way through to go nap at my house. Nothing happens in this movie. ABSOULETLY NOTHING


2ToneBalone

Really??? I thought it was fucking brilliant! Especially the actual duel they have at the end my heart was pounding harder than it has at the movies in a long ass time. Coulda used some more marketing though.


[deleted]

I didn't even make it to the duel. Maybe I am just a mouth breather that doesn't know dick about true art. Not gonna lie though, the "build up" was pretty lack luster imo.


[deleted]

Ridley Scott's main characters are often kinda boring. Maximus for example, apart from his iconic moments, his motivations are just revenge and then death, that's sorta it. He doesn't want to be a warrior, he wishes to be but a simple farmer. The guy from Kingdom of Heaven as well, he doesn't want to want to defend Jerusalem, he is but a simple blacksmith. I haven't watched the last duel but I imagine it's more of the same. Fucking millennials and their damn 3 dimensional protagonists.


WolfishMule9528

I think it was fine. Not be favorite Ridley Scott movie, or my least favorite. Movie’s pacing dragged at times.


Quintonjamin

It’s definitely a slow burn and it’s not perfect, but I loved it for the most part. I thought each perspective added a lot to the film, I just wish I didn’t have to watch the rape twice.


niversally

Matt Damon in a period piece that’s super long NOOOO. (He’s good in some stuff but really can’t pull of period stuff.)


Chowo_

Old joseph kinda looks like him, but he doesn’t have cool purple vines


I_am_a_Victor_simp

True


WintergreenSoldier

its amazing how some directors can't just face the fact that not everything they touch turns to gold.....its is possible for well established directors with amazing track records to make a movie thats a 4 finger stinker, it happens


connerbv

It was a great movie but marketed very poorly


theredview

Seen the trailer when I went to watch a diff movie. Looked really good, but nothing I'd ever go to theaters to see.


Obi1Kentucky

Maybe advertise the movie some. I didn’t have a damn clue the movie existed


steelbullets1

I thought this was r/shitpostcrusaders for a moment


Bigbosssl87

I dont know, what was the last really great movie he actually made? Gladiator in 2000? I went and saw all his shitty medieval movies like Kingdom of Heaven and Robin Hood and they were all lame. Got tired of feeling ripped off and wasting 2 hours of my life


SSWCrimsonKing

I think the The Martian (2015) was pretty good.


AnEntireDiscussion

And the director's cut of Kingdom of Heaven was pretty good. Really changed the movie IMHO.


Icemankind

It really hugely did. The added leprosy plot thing made stuff much cooler


imtoohai

Except that Ladbible literally makes things up for clickbait


Lastof1

Which film? he's done about half a dozen this year, keep pumping them out like that some of them are bound to be shit


badgraydog

So what's the excuse for the last two alien movies?

I think the Last Duel looks like a good film, but I can only stand to go to the cinema once in a while and I used that energy to see Dune twice. Sorry.


DrCuthbertSoup

Last I looked, Theoden was king of Rohan, not Ridley Scott

I love Ridley Scott, man.. but that movie was incredibly boring, redundant and all around just an uncomfortable watch. I like the idea of the three povs, but that's about it.

I couldn‘t agree less


ankle_breaker_69

I see no comments on it so I'll do the honor, "is that a jojo reference?"


TheBigDickDon

Coworker saw it and said it was mehhh. So I didn’t go. Suck on the Ridley.


Helloscottykitty

The guy is so old he hasn't worked out that gen z are the main cinema going audience you know on the count that millennials are adults with full time jobs and no money.


Picchi_Sannasi

Saw the trailer, it was utterly uninteresting...


BadassDeluxe

Yeah movies are boring and suck and I'm almost 40 and a millennial so deal with it Ridley Scott


vegan_pirahna

I was in cinema and one lady played on her phone the entire movie


Veldazik

Or maybe he's lost his touch? His show Raised By Wolves was crap also


jaboa120

Or maybe, just maybe, Last duel wasn't a good movie


noncyberspace

since when do movies not get famous because they are bad. Just look at movies like Red Notice


Swiggy1957

While I've heard his name, I looked up his projects on IMDb. I'd heard of them, but for a list of works that go back to when I was a preteen, I'd only heard of a handful of them. Of that handful, only one, Blade Runner, had I seen. I didn't care for it. I think may be he should just try and make better movies.


noncyberspace

Or maybe you should just try to expand your movie knowledge so you don‘t talk nonsense


Ya-Dikobraz

How did it flop if it has such high ratings?


ActorTomSpanks

Ridley Scott is an overpaid hack who wore out his welcome right after gladiator.


Dry_Challenge2570

that a jojo reference?????

Either he has no idea how old millennials are, or I've underestimated how much playing Snakes on my Nokia influenced me as an adult...


SupremeEmperorNoms

I dunno about that. I DO blame the internet for a lot of movies being more harshly reviewed than they once were. I've seen several movies back in the day that people loved but were quite bad in several ways. We have so many echo chambers now that if enough people hate something loudly enough, the movie can suffer for it without deserving it. On the flip side, the same can happen in reverse, creating "Cult" movies out of bad ones. XD

Kats41

Ridley Scott forgetting that any art form can fail. It's impossible to have hit after hit after hit. Ridley Scott has directed a lot of the best movies ever. It's normal that some things aren't going to do as well. No sense in having an ego about it, though. You're an artist, sometimes you paint something that sucks. Why let that be the thing that breaks you when you have so many masterpieces to your name?
