ridley scott was always a hac---

Ridley Scott was always a hack. Gladiator is proof of that. Shit-tier movie.

is there anyone who actually believes ridley has always been a hack?
most directors have good and bad movies. ridley is fucking awesome when he has a good script, something both prometheus and alien c didnt have unfortunately.

Ridley did make great films.
that said, as an European, I never got the huge praise Gladiator got. it was an ok film, nothing special.

it looked great, hideous tragedy and glorious drama, soundtrack was top-tier, it was all about family values

And the fucking Duellists.
It's a great film.

Name 1 (one) movie before this one which manages to make a vivid portrayal of the Roman empire, with an interesting story and characters, and a badass main protagonist. I'll wait.

Kingdom would have been top tier too, without a gay elf portrayed as the hero.

And old movies like Spartacus and co don't count, I meant recent movies (at the time)
