    You could watch all of THE LAST DUEL tonight, instead of torturing yourself. Scott's best movie in probably twenty years.

    I really think Ridley Scott is an anti-monarchist at heart because this is his second movie after The Last Duel to emphasize how all this bloodshed is to entertain simpering little inbred weiners

    Someday when enough time has passed I’ll offer up exactly why the last 15 pages of the script is why Gladiator 2 is not Ridley Scott’s best film in years, that would be The Last Duel. Anyway, great time at the movies I laughed a lot, intentionally. See it for Denzel feasting & Mescal being a hunk.

    Respect Scott fans who have strong feelings for The Last Duel. I think it’s a fine movie. But I can’t really elevate it when The Duelists exists. He already made the definitive movie about Duels and guys that have them.

    Very late to the party, but I've finally seen The Last Duel, Ridley Scott's best film since 2013. A tale of medieval brutality, barbaric practices, and deeply rooted misogyny that still rings true to this day. Very dark but also very powerful, Jodie Comer owns every second she is on screen.

    Look, I'm not fit to stand in Ridley Scott's shadow. People who say he peaked in the 80s are missing out. The Last Duel was a great, adult film and that was two whole years ago. What he has to say about embracing AI is awful and draining.

He long desired to bring the rhino into the coliseum & this movie delivers on that dream.The fight scenes are brutal & gory similar to The Last Duel. 1/2

    Also I cannot take any of you seriously after the bellyaching about how the actors in The Last Duel, a film which depicted the procedures of the Medieval French judicial system, didn’t “do the accent”. The accent in question being a dead dialect of Middle French.

    It's weird when Ridley Scott manages to make something good these days because it ends up being The Last Duel, dies a horrible box office death, and then he goes on some Old Man rant about the kids being on their phones when it's clear the movie was destined to be buried straight off the rip.

    Nov 22nd: THE LAST DUEL (Channel 4). If anything gives me faith for GLADIATOR II, it's this, Ridley Scott's best film of the last decade. A notable flop but a terrific tripartite Ben Affleck/Matt Damon/Nicole Holofcener script & great Jodie Comer turn elevate it to something fascinatingly chewy.

    The basic issue with Ridley Scott is that he only makes a good film every 5-7 years and everything else is garbage (we're due one soon as the last good one was The Last Duel) but damn if he doesn't often still fail with a bit of style.

    The man's last well received movie was The Last Duel, admittedly excellent but mostly an Affleck/Damon joint. Before that, the last well received project was The Martian, mostly Weir/Goddard and would've been directed by the latter if Cabin in the Woods hadn't flopped. Ridley, *retire*.

    My shifted impression of Ridley Scott into "oh, this man has no commentary here, he's just himself a horrendous misogynist in his old age" was reinforced by watching The Last Duel. A film that *could* have been so good but instead wallowed in taking seriously a "he said/she said" dynamic on rape.

    I'd put off watching The Last Duel for ages because the first time, I found the opening scenes and dialogue awkward. Sticking with it last night, it turned out to be better than I expected. It still took a while, mostly 'cause Jodie Comer's character is little more than scenery for the first half.

    If you liked Ridley Scott’s THE LAST DUEL, I highly recommend Eric Jager’s nonfiction book of the same name. It’s short and very readable. Also, the movie is not a straightforward adaptation so the book doesn’t feel like you’re just reading a novelization or something.
