I’ll never understand why Alexander with Colin Farrell flopped so hard. Sure, it’s not perfect, but it’s an epic, emotional ride with some stunning visuals and a great soundtrack by Vangelis.

Farrell is awesome as Alexander, bringing a mix of strength and vulnerability that makes the character feel real. And yeah, it’s not 100% historically accurate, but does that even matter? It’s a movie, not a documentary.

If you’ve never seen it, or only watched the theatrical cut, give the Final Cut a shot. It’s way better than people give it credit for.

It's a decent movie with some guiltily pleasure vibes..

Sitting watching naked gun, and literally thinking they would never get away with this today. Turns out they're going for it. Why? Why ruin yet another classic franchise?

I remember when the first movie came out, everyone was obsessively talking about the visuals, going to see it multiple times at the cinema and collectively making it the highest grossing flick of all time (not inflation-adjusted but still a great result). Of course, the plot was at times laughably derivative but generally it was good fun. Then time passes, 3D is no longer in vogue and the movie is... Largely forgotten. A decade and a half later a sequel is released, flocks of people head over to cinemas again, critics are more harsh this time, but the visuals are still pretty impressive, and the box office performance is phenomenal. Nevertheless, I don't think the Avatar movies come up in discussions often enough taking into account their box office results, the name of the director and groundbreaking CGI. It seems even Cameron's relatively low-key True Lies is more revered than Avatar, let alone Titanic and Terminator 1&2. No one seems to really care about Avatar besides Cameron himself and probably the actors involved. I swear, Marvel, DC and Star wars commercial flops generate more heated discussions than the adventures of Jake Sully and Co. The pinnacle of stupidity, which is the fast and furious franchise is more likely to spring to mind when asked about successful blockbusters. What's wrong with Avatar lol?

Loved this movie as a teen. Remember it getting pretty harsh reviews, but I remember it fondly.

Tywin Lannister from Game of Thrones is one of the first that comes to mind for me! He is fully aware that his malicious actions destroy lives, but he is prime example of someone who lives with the mindset that “the ends justify the means.”
