    I mean I just watched it today and honestly don't see the complaints is the movie great no is it good yes and all of the people complain it should have been her father is the main character so we watch a movie where the guy dies not defeat the main villain. She isn't perfect most of her impressive feats is when she's on horseback and if you can't understand why a Rohirrim would be good on horseback then I don't think you're a fan of Lord of the rings. Ps there's like heaps of warrior women in tokens universe is not unusual for women so learn had to fight to protect themselves

    The movie was almost good. Really good bones, terrible budget. It felt so small. Tiny armies make it feel like a silly larp. Poor job setting up the main character as a fighter (they do make her seem smart, but thats not how they resolve things) Too many references to the books. Several things felt really contrived, and it didn't trust the audience to follow some important plot points.so they had to spell it ut out too much The brother getting left behind is silly because they are only followed by 4 guys. The complaint about the bridge is too nitpicky. In a better film, you probably wouldn't have noticed something like that cause you would be invested enough not to notice. those kind if issues happen all the time, but you rarely notice them on a first viewing if you like the film

    Hear me out, just saying. Rome fell for multiple reasons. One of them is the constant cycle of fixing and evetually falling of the empire. One emperor would take power after a previous emperor fumbled the bag. This emperor would lead rome into an era pf prosperity and wealth, either through politics or conquest. This emperor would eventually die and his sucesor would take rain. This sucesor and the ones that vome after would get progresivly worst until one fumbles the bag, sending the empire back to first step of the loop. Repeat the process until Rome falls. Maximus did his thing, but at the best, what he did is create a very short loop. With Marcus Aurelius being the good leader, comodus being the one that fumbles the bag, and however comes after porb fixing things.

    Maximus spent his life fighting wars for Rome so it made sense when he beat other gladiators in combat. Lucius spent his life in luxury and then in hiding, so it was lazy writing that made him a good fighter. The movie was also just really slow for long stretches of time and it felt like much of that screentine was wasted on unnecessary dialogue. Althoug it wasn't great, I can at least appreciate how little it effects my enjoyment of the original.
