This WOULD have been a great film, but unfortunately they made the terrible decision to tell the central story over, not once, not twice, but three freaking times. If they DIDN'T do that, and instead concentrated on just telling it once, and focusing the rest of the time (and budget) on flushing out the backstory of the various characters and perhaps even showing a few more battles, then this movie could have been one of the best movies released in 2021 (right up there with Dune)... but like I said, unfortunately they chose NOT to do that, and that's why the movie ends up being a mediocre 6/10 movie. The movie is 150minutes long, and I have NO problem with that, but they literally wasted about 40minutes just retelling the central story, which is just insane. Ridley Scott blamed the box-office failure of the film on: "millennials, who were brought up on cell phones, who don't want to be taught anything unless they are told it on a cell phone".... no Ridley, no... they don't want to watch the same film, 3 times over.... that's (part of) the reason why the film bombed at the box-office. 'The Martian' was great. 'Prometheus' was great. 'American Gangster' was great. You know what those 3 films of yours have in common?: You didn't repeat the film's story 3 times over!!! So next time you want to make another great film, Ridley, remember: Don't repeat the film's story 3 times over.
In summation: It's an OK film (could have been great). 6/10. Watch it if you've watched 'A knight's Tale' already and enjoyed it, otherwise I'd pass on this one.
