Yeah I heard many many bad reviews of that show, they still can't get star trek right...

They got Strange New Worlds right, IMO. Been waiting forever and a new season will drop this year. I read they got picked up for a fourth

Yeah I tried that one, it's not the same to me, feels like the soul of star trek is gone, that show is missing something...Picard season 3 was the closest thing to star trek as I knew it, but although that was all nostalgia bait, it was awesome to see TNG crew back together again one last time...

Haven't seen this in many years and now that I have I forgot how bad it is. At the time we were all blown away by the historical detail, now it just looks hokey.
There's a lot of speechifying, explanation of Great Causes that I doubt those at the time were too worried about. It's perfectly normal in a movie from the 40s-60s but a bit out of place in 1993.
The fake beards and uniforms are a bit tough to take. Tom Berenger makes a good Longstreet but is obviously struggling with that enormous hat and fake beard. If you beamed Martin Sheen back and stood him next to the real Lee I doubt anyone would note a particularly strong resemblance.
The extras. Those guys had a lot of fun from the looks of it. You never see more than a few at a time and the play-fighting is a bit obvious. At that time in the war the Army of Northern Virginia had no fat guys in it for sure, they were a very lean ragged dangerous lot. Foot Calvary some of them were called - lots of 19th century aerobics.
I'd love to see a modern remake with CGI unfortunately they'd screw it up. Joshua Chamberlain would probably utter some witty tag line and hold his revolver sideways instead of yelling 'charge' and the 20th Maine would proceed down the Little Round Top with bayonets and martial arts maneuvers and flying kicks that would satisfy any John Wick fan ........

Watched 'Apocalypto' again with friends recently and it's still insanely good.
Not for the faint hearted though lol.

We started to watch this movie last night, but stopped about half way through because my wife fell asleep lol...She didn't fall asleep because of the movie, but because we started kind of late and she was already very tired...We will finish this one tonight...
However from what I've watched thus far this is an outstanding movie, very good build up of characters, especially the Count...

I am not much of a martial arts fan but Scott Adkins has grown on me. Louis Mandylor seems to pop up in his movies and he does a good job with this one. He's an Australian doing a thick Sopranos style accent that I find amusing and irritating all at once, maybe because several of the men I worked with faked up accents like that. He does a better job - and his character has a nice Caddy I wouldn't mind.
7/10 maybe ? Entertaining. Easy to see where the Accident Man series came from.

And after years in development hell we got S*** this movie is garbage.
