The Last Duel, set for October 2021

Three big names: Matt Damon, Adam Driver and Ben Affleck


Looking forward to this, I have a thing for medieval/knight films.

Oh shit, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck directed by Ridley Scott. Looks like a follow up to Kingdom of Heaven.

I've given up on Ridley doing any more decent science fiction, so I guess I'll welcome this.

The Matt Damon mullet seemed a very bold choice. That's worth the price of admission right there.

I usually enjoy Ridley Scott films, he has a good track record with me.


Mullets were a bad choice even in the 1300s

Explain

This looks awesome.

A) Ridley Scott has a many good films under his belt and I enjoyed many. eg Gladiator is one of mt favorite films and at the very top of my 'can watch any time' films list


B) Mullets are just a poor style of hair, be it 1380's Argentan France or 2021 Westville Florida

can't wait

And they say Chivalry is ded

I guess as with all things, I'll watch it by myself. 😥 On the bright side, at least I'm not in a cell, with another dude.

Shadiversity is NOT going to like this.

Getting really sick of how nearly every movie or show set in the middle ages (or inspired by them) has the same aesthetic; grey, winter, and overcast.

Dude, just how it was back then, all gloomy and grey and the time.


Also, your post made me remember this gem of a poster:

Ya Krunk'd Fool, midevil is a recogiznized time period. It's like saying the Middle Ages. So it actually has nothing to do with evil it's just a catch phrase.

Got my tickets for tomorrow

Oh this comes out this weekend?

Sadly it's probably going to get burried by other big releases such as J. Bond, Halloween Kills, Venom, Dune, etc..

Actually, no offense to this film, but I hope Dune buries it...

Why not both be great?

But I feel ya, I really want Dune to be great, if it's not, I'll be seriously butthurt. If this is just meh, I won't care too much.

I don't mean I hope it's not good (of course I hope it's good), I just don't think it's the kind of thing that's going to blow up the box office.

I don't think there's any doubt that Dune will be great (Villeneuve is amazing). But it needs to blow up the box office. Then maybe they'll even let Villeneuve film the next two films he wants to do back-to-back. That would be f#cking ideal scenario.

I enjoyed it, though nothing spectacular. Both Damon and Driver's acting seemed to fade in and out, like they gave a shit in one scene and didn't the next.

Affleck was atrocious in this, seemed like he played some Boston douche, but with a bad English accent, he's got a very minor role though so it doesn't poison the story too much.

gonna watch next week sometime

It's slow and the same story/plot is told from three different perspectives, Damon's, Driver's and Comer's.

Like Dunkirk was, but Dunkirk was excellent.

Oh, hm..

I didn't like Dunkirk, so I may have to skip this...

But that Matt Damon mullet, I need to see that... hm.. This is a predicament!!

It's a full on War-Mullet, breed for and testing in battle.

I'm thinking about coming back to give this a chance.

I just feel like I should give it a peep before I see Napoleon.

You never watched this!? What a f*king nerdbag.

^ Shame on me...

It was really, really good.

I'm ashamed that I wasn't more interested in it at the time. I'm going to blame the marketing!!

Dare I say it was actually the closest I think Ridley Scott has come to recapturing Gladiator vibes.

Hm.. very poignant analysis here...

I would still rather have had a sequel to The Great Wall, but I watched this several months back and it was pretty good.

Oh, boy. Yeah, that explains why it bombed at the box office. Depressing medieval Matt Damon and Ben Affleck is no match for that competition. But it is a shame, because I really greatly enjoyed this.

Everybody hates Ben Affleck, and I don't really get it. I think he's a good actor. He was very hateable and douchey in this and I think that was intentional... lol.

I had to get past all the English speaking when they're supposed to be French. Once I did I really enjoyed it. I get wanting to use the big American stars, but I would have much preferred this be French with English subtitles.

I don't hate Ben Affleck and he's done some decent acting work. He just sucked dirty assholes in this.

He's a far better director than actor though, imo.

I actually never saw his Best Picture win, Argo. I need to do that.

Argo, The Town and Gone Baby Gone are very good all worth watching.

Watch all three and let me know

I did see The Town a long time ago, though I don't remember it terribly well except that I remember being relatively impressed with Affleck's work.

Aye-aye, I'll work on it. Thanks.

The Town has an extended version, it's 26mins longer and worth a viewing if you ever want to watch it again.

^^^I read they (the razzies) nominated Stanley Kubrick for worst director. The movie was The Shining.
