My favorite part of this article:
Although “humbled” that Nolan has read her translation, she is blunt in her assessment of his creation: “I would be ashamed to have written any part of this script.” Wilson’s rhetorical climax has been widely circulated: “It lacks psychological, emotional, political and ethical depth. Its narrative structure is gimmicky. The writing is abysmal. None of the characters has convincing motivation for their actions or words. There are no sex scenes, and all the food looks horrible.”
I actually agree with Emily’s review, I liked the movie but it was still just mid. I mean, three hours long in ancient Greece and nobody fucks? Come on man.
And just like Bay, I’d say his movies are typically very entertaining, even if they aren’t fine cinema.
Oh yeah 100% agree. It’s fun shlock to watch, and it’s also true that the writing sucks in both directors’ movies.
