After chasing after the Kingdom of Heaven, I wanted to see the magnificence of historical epic movies again, but I didn't expect to be so disappointed.
The main feeling is that the story is not very good, the characters and the plot are not very strong, and many places are very strange.
For example, the role of the little emperor is too incompetent. A gladiator is locked in a prison as a slave. You can't do anything. He can't even hear a word from the public, yet he has mastered public opinion. No matter how stupid the emperor himself is, Isn't there anyone around me who can make plans? Even Maximus knows that if you want to kill him, you must first get him dirty. The emperor himself has no idea of framing or making public opinions. He only knows how to kill, kill and kill. kill.
Not to mention that in the end, I really can't understand how an emperor could be forced into a heads-up duel by a slave in a prison with public opinion. This story is too weak. He doesn't understand public opinion and doesn't understand repression, so he can do it with an iron fist. You have to go solo with a general yourself, you won't show your face when you win, it's really hard to understand.
Maximus never mentioned the legitimacy of the emperor's succession from beginning to end, did not question it, and then killed others like this? ? This is also the slaying of the king. How could the audience know the details of your court infighting, how could they support you in a rush.
These problems are details of small plots. The whole story is very boring in the big plot. He killed the executioner and ran away. The emperor didn’t want to kill them all, and then he went to the arena to prove himself. To be honest, full of In addition to the prejudice and arrogance of Hollywood's personal heroism, it is also full of arrogance about history and politics. It is still not a good idea for Americans to shoot this.
To sum up, I think it is far inferior to the Kingdom of Heaven.
