LOTR+Braveheart+Gladiator+RobinHood+Narnia+Legend+Krull

I just saw it (or 3/4 of it as still have to watch the finale) had it saved in my record stuff for a long while and finally got around to check it out (previous had caught the odd scene couple minutes on TV)..and yes was surprised it was pretty decent and the call backs to other movies were obvious but fun (started off with it playing in the background as I surfed the net but gradually started to watch it property so that must mean its a pretty good movie right?). It made 400m ww which is good but kind of surprised it didn't do better at the box office as it was fun/derivative of LOTR and had impressive cast (plus Thor/Twilight girl for younger audience).. and Alice in WL had cracked 1b just 2 years before (although that was probably in part due to 3D and Depp's huge popularity at the time)

Yes, the movie looks great and is fun, and it’s in my library. Theron MAKES this much more than just “okay.” I liked it so much that I bought the follow-up, Winter’s War, sight unseen. I mean, Theron AND Blunt as rival sisters? That I hadda see. After I watched it, I made it default demo material in my home theater store, running the scene of the battle with the goblins on an endless loop on one of my best 4K sets. Customers would stop in their tracks and watch it, and demand to know what it was. (Of course, many of the women were stopping for Hemsworth.) The only scene I’ve run that got a better reaction is The Echo Game chapter from House of Flying Daggers, and that’s saying something.
