Bought gallon of salty buttered popcorn, large Pepsi. Nailed that 'corn down, and washed with the soda.

The Last Duel, no spoils:

Medieval Matty Damon has a marriage dilemma, classic "He said, she said. The case for the story is shown in 3 different chapters, by 3 different point of views. Noting crazy, easy to follow, gets a tad "whatever", nothing major. What is the story/plot? Simple: Is Adam Driver a rapist or Jodie Comer an unfaithful wife playing a lying harlot. Not a romance picture, as Ridley Scott portrays the 1300s with dose of proper darkness, touch of Latin, Catholic, and the King & his court.

I really, really liked this movie. Why? Because the Green Knight was complete smelly ass worthless. For those looking for Game of Thrones type stuff, it's a click below that. Bottom line, the entire movie gives the audience the era of expectation. For some, the story might not be for them, but that's always the case. Not much of a date movie, considering.

Rank: 7 out 10

Thanks for the quick review. I'll put this on my watch list.

Ridley Scott's feature film directorial debut was called The Duellists.

Interesting that he is revisiting this in later life.

The above post is my thought as well. If his first film (he did 200 commercials prior) was the Duelists and this is The Last Duel, I wonder if this might be his last film? He is in his eighties.

The Duellists was beautifully filmed and one of my favorite historical movies. I have yet to see it, but hopefully the Last Duel looks as good!

Wanted to see this, not sure how it will play out. But i do like Ridley's movies, least most of them.
