Troy, 300 and the new Clash of the Titans all sucked. And that burst of movies was nothing compared to the HUNDREDS of swords and sandal movies that came out in the 60's and 70's.o.pwuaioc wrote:Um, did you not see Troy, 300, or Clash of the Titans?Yancakes wrote:Zombies come and go, just like everything else. The last time they were this big was the 70's, they're probably more noticeable right now just because every other game that comes out has SOMETHING to do with zombies.
Still waiting for swords and sandals to come back
Admittedly, most of which sucked, too, but were at least charming enough to be forgivable...The three you mentioned tried too hard. So does the upcoming Immortals, from the looks of it, and it not only ignores mythology but it actively does the exact opposite of what mythology says
EDIT: Hell, even Gladiator is a slightly less good remake of Fall of the Roman Empire from the 60's, though I do like Gladiator quite a bit.
