SPOILERS!!!!!!
Dialogue treats the audience like children.
The protagonist takes control of the Roman military by claiming it’s his birthright by having his friend display the royal ring of a dead noble woman to a general. There is absolutely nobody credible to vouch for his legitimacy let alone his Roman citizenship since Lucious was reported as deceased.
The villain is Denzel Washington. I mean that as in I’ve seen him play this same villain at least half a dozen times.
At no point in this movie did I fear for the protagonist’s life.
It’s a cash grab not Top Gun 2.
Save your money and watch it on Netflix in two months.
