I was one of the 12 people who saw this in a movie theater back in October and I just watched it again on VOD and its still as great as I remember it. Everyone is really good in it, especially Jodie Comer and Ben Affleck as a douche horny lord. As expected with Ridley Scott, the film looks incredible from the costumes, cinematography(seriously, some of the candle lit castle interiors and cackling fireplace scenes were just beautiful), production design, etc. I watched that Netflix movie THE KING the other day with the DUNE guy in it and I seriously laughed out loud at how fake, clean, and plastic all the medieval armor in that movie looked, especially compared to something like this. Speaking of medieval armor, its so nice seeing a movie that really treats plate armor like the metal that it is rather than the useless cosmetic tissue paper its so often portrayed as... here swords are bouncing off of breastplates and the plate armor on their arms and hands are used to block blows and it was glorious.

Drunkboxer posted:How Ben Afflecky is this movie? I have a hard time watching him in basically anything His performance is not exactly what you'd expect, he plays a rich flamboyant horny lord in a bit of an anachronistically manner yet it somehow works perfectly and he kinda steals Chapter 2(Adam Driver's chapter) from Adam Driver at times.

checkplease posted:What are some other movies from this time period? Seventh seal, um variations of Richard 3 like chimes at midnight? I'd start with Kingdom of Heaven, and make sure its Ridley Scott's directors cut and not the version the studio chopped up for its theatrical release. The only weak part is Orlando Bloom but the movie all around him is so good it makes up for it.
