Cobra Kai said:
And as for Ridley Scott, his best movie was in 1979 and he's been pretty hit or miss since then. Blade Runner was really good, Gladiator and Black Hawk Down were pretty good, Prometheus was worth watching I guess, and then he's got a bunch of mediocre to absolute crap movies. (Robin Hood, for example was atrocious). I'm not saying he wouldn't make a good SW movie, but just looking at his filmography he would be way down on my list.
had it not been for Michael Fassbender, I would have marked prometheus as an F.
that said, I dont know what your feelings are for Kingdom of heaven Director's Cut. I think its one of the great movies of the last 10 years. just spectacular. I cannot believe it wasnt released like that in the theatres and Scott could have had a really good shot at winning a best director oscar.
absolute shame....20 years from now, he will look back at that movie as the one that got away.
