Jagr_68 09/30/19 10:46:52 PM #1:	Rewatched this on Netflix and I can't grasp whether it would've been an A grade sci-fi movie with a 3 hour runtime or if it would've been worse. Seemed like its dystopian world badly needed development or further exposition of why things are the way they are. I also don't get why Bale and Emily Watson had like American accents either, while Sean Bean gets to talk like he normally does. This flick had some weird decisions made all over the place. --- New York Rangers [2004-2008] https://imgur.com/BLrKxEd https://psnprofiles.com/Jaromiroquai68 <cite>Jagr_68 posted [p:928169526] in Anyone rem...

I liked the part where Christian Bale ~~unceremoniously kills the main bad guy fighter (Taye Diggs) toward the end of the film rather than having a drawn-out battle~~ ikr it's like the film forgot that it teased a final duel between the two during the training fight sequence but ya know that's just one mistake compared to that monumental plot hole twist towards the finale. Also the top bad dude from Warriors Of Virtue was the top dude here, I don't think that was mistaken.
