Simple. 5* means I couldn’t imagine improving it.

    Great car chase but the rest is too slick for its own good. I didn’t care about anyone in this film

    No like this is really good. This is the one that should get the awards (this year). 
    It’s a story with beautiful nuance and connection to contemporary sentiment. It’s darkly funny and engrossing and compelling and shocking and so so good. And we also have a new wonderful star

    I only saw the standard cut once, it was rendered a pretty basic sword and sandals pic as we saw a few times after Gladiator, Troy comes to mind as similar. 

    The extended cut of this film is one of my favourites, a long, indulgent and compelling story of religion, and therefore man,  against the most religious setting possible. It serves also to remind us how far we haven’t come…
