This movie is awesome.


I was too busy hating this when it was released but damn, this is a powerful story.

I wouldn't say it's awesome, but I do like it. It's one of those films that's somehow better than its clunky script.

The themes of duty and being used and giving your life for a lost cause are so good. This movie is like the Vietnam war.

I do like how th he characters rethink years of duty and obedience. I'm all for rethinking.

But mainly I like the cinematography, all those wild winter landscapes. Its visually gorgeous, really atmospheric.

reply

Yes. I just finished it. This movie. Drunk rambling about greatness. Mads death scene. Holy shit.

reply

I agree.

I just watched it again this morning.

It's quite entertaining.

It gets better every time I watch it. Great story (a band of elite knights on their final mission), great acting, great visuals, great battles.

I think people just didn't get it because it didn't seem like the King Arthur and Camelot stories they were familiar with. But this version is much closer to the actual history.

Watching it now! Even better than ever. The older I get, the harder it resonates. What life takes from you, and what you can give back. It's 'uge. These sad sacks, all of them. Conscripted into a service and made into Gods and still powerless, finally unleash themselves.

Clive Owen's sack was anything but sad, once he and KK hit the sheets

I just watched it again! Bums me out that Lancelot dies in the end.

I like the score by Hans Zimmer.
