    Seeing it on Sunday!

    I do have an issue with the amount of stars in the movie, especially Zendaya, but I’ll try to keep an open mind.

    I don’t care about the historical accuracy or the racial makeup of the cast, all I care about is whether it’s a movie I enjoy watching.

      especially Zendaya

      She’s a stellar actress and a smokeshow.

      I’m more annoyed that they included Matt Damon in the leading role. That guy’s been washed for years.

      I don’t care about the historical accuracy or the racial makeup

      I do think it’s very funny to be mad about Elliot Page for being transgender when I’d be more upset that he’s got zero tan in a movie about rugged sea faring people just north of Egypt.

      Like so much Sword and Sandal that Hollywood produces, it’s way too white. Maybe make more movies that take place in the Baltics if you want to use this many Brits, Franks, and Nords.

        Agree to disagree, I’ve never seen anything I’ve enjoyed her in.

          Well, I’m a huge fan of Challengers. And she was a great Mary Jane in the Tom Holland Spidermovies.

            I found she was a terrible choice for the character she played in it. Like I think she’s a fine actress, but she definitely doesn’t play a rugged desert woman well. I think a large part of my issues with her character are from the writing/adaptation, but I also don’t think that she’s who I’d cast.

            Booty is in the eye of the beholder, son. Some men like em long and lean, some like em thick and mean, and there’s a person for everyone in-between.
