>Randomly look up Ridley Scott's filmography
What the actual fuck. I had no idea 90% of that stuff was by him. How can he have so many films under his belt?
And 90% is shit
>>80066975
He deserves an oscar just for being that versatil
>>80066975
He had directed commercials for 20 years before he made his first film.

TIL Ridley is a he
he's also like 79 years old and has put out a film every year for like a decade now
>>80067299
Quantity guarantees quality I guess
He was born just up the road from me.
>>80067299
You forgot The Duellists pleb
>>80067299
American Gangster and Black Rain deserve better than getting paired with all that dogshit
>>80066975
He's a traitor to his Redcar roots!
>>80067397
The Duellists could have done with being longer. It felt rushed to me.

God, I was so pumped for Robin Hood but then it couldn't make up it's mind what it wanted to be. The part where his dad wrote the Magna Carter had no business being in the movie.
>>80067397
I did! :(
I'd put it on Good but Overrated.

As was I. I love that period, and Ridley was coming off directing one of the best medieval epics ever made, and the cast was stacked. I'd just seen Mark Strong in Kick Ass and Sunshine, and I was looking forward to seeing his villain against based Crowe. I can't even say it's a bad film. If the ending had been different (IE no fucking child army being led by Maid Marian to the beach) I might have even put it up a tier.
As it is, I would equate it to RLM's The Nerd Crew review of Rogue One. The action is nice and the vistas are beautiful, but I don't give a fuck about the characters. I thought William Hurt as the King's right hand man cast aside for Mark Strong was an interesting subplot that should have been tied into the main story more.

Bullshit. Lyndon is way better.

>Kingdom of Heaven (DC)
I'm so tired of this fucking meme
>>80066975
I agree. He's known primarily for producing huge blockbusters but has as much artistic talent as any other arthouse director of his vintage
I once randomly saw him with Tom Hardy in Durham a few years ago
>>80067913
He honestly just seems to like making movies, and I think you can tell that.
>tfw Robin Hood and Exodus were butchered by the studio.
Exodus was supposed to be some classic 4 hour epic. And Robin Hood was originally some script called Nottingham about the sheriff of Nottingham hunting down Robin and his gang.
>>80067871
where would you put it and why?
It's one of the best epics of all time. Up there with Lawrence of Arabia and Ben Hur
>>80066975
He shot his first film when he was almost 40 tho
He only made 3 good films:
Alien
Blade Runner
Thelma and Louise
>>80068497
technically that's 4
>>80067299

worth it for the Vangelis score and my waifu alone tbqh

hack
>>80068523
Is the theatrical release of Blade Runner worth watching if you've already seen the director's cut?
>>80067991
>Exodus was supposed to be some classic 4 hour epic
Not really.
He said he actually prefer to the theatrical cut to the 4 hour-cut

Y'know what I blame myself. Exodus tanked and he had no choice to go running back to his Alien pillowfort crying and sobbing with his Tony sock puppet.
