    ★★★

    Rewatched last night with parents. I’m convinced now it’s just not that good. If this is a standalone movie it gets 1.5 star. The writing is over the top, plot points are overexplained, it’s super gory. It’s like a fan fiction of the first one, and the second time around watching it really doesn’t hit the spot for me.

    Action scenes that were about as good as they get, the CGI makes it almost look cartoonish at points though.

    My god does Ridley Scott love a long ass costume drama with some wise arabs sprinkled in to play up the heroism of the stoic brooding lead... This is like the Wish version of Gladiator. Erratic pacing, Orlando Bloom doesn't hold a penny to Russel Crowe unfortunately, and bigger doesn't necessarily mean better. This and Troy are the movies we get because Didley Scott was so successful with Gladiator. Is it long? Yes. Is it also entertaining with solid action and crazy sets making you think half the budget went to extras and costumes? Also yes.

    Suspenseful, good actors, some funny scenes, cool layover at the end with the real pictures. The entitlement of the hostages takes this from a 4 to a 3.5, I couldn’t stand them.
