I’ll watch this sequel, but will wait for stream. No hype for me.
Fair enough, I think for me it was the tournament, macho way maximus fought his way back up from the bottom, linked to the revenge plot and the acting and characterisations that appealed. The score was also appealing to me.

ABP fails a lot, even with extra filters and adjusted settings.

uBlock Origin is superior to it in every way.

Got it installed, It's indeed alot better

when i had AdblockPlus and was checking out FB, it lagged alot and i had to allow it just to get a decent speed

no issues there even with uBlock Origin.

The lines are often perfect, it is so much more than cheese. The duel on thr common... and the Kurgan, Ramirez, the Suurvivalist etc. It's perfect.


Watched Highlander again last night, been a very long time. Still good, still fun.

Remake will probably be dirty ass, but just like the ever increasing craptastic Highlander sequels, it can't spoil the original. There can be only one!

I would love to be wrong and it be as good or better than the original. That is so rare in movies though.

thumb up

It consumes significantly less resources than ABP or other adblockers and gets the job done right.

Just make sure to re-install the plugin every once in a while or manually update the filters, so it can stay effective.

Quite a few reasons.

Among others...

One of the most detestable antagonists in film history with Commodus.

The legendary Olly Reed's final performance before his death

Queer giraffes.

Beyond that it's got a great setting (love Rome) with exceptional props, sets, and costuming; a simple, but very well written story that easily hooks the viewer; and an excellent score. Basically, it's the full package. Great acting, story, cinematography, score, effects, etc...

Plus it has one of greatest scenes of all time.

They're off panel, being queer or something.

But I think you do see some later in the entrance to the ludus, Proximo's home.
