Low key Ridley Scott is one of the worst directors ever

[Jazzy B.]

Yes Alien and Blade Runner are classics. Gladiator and Thelma & Louise are debatable as well. American Gangster was aight but as yourself when was the last time you watched it? Forgettable film overall

But take a look at his cv:

Films[edit]


1977 The Duellists
1979 Alien
1982 Blade Runner
1985 Legend
1987 Someone to Watch Over Me
1989 Black Rain
1991 Thelma & Louise 6
1992 1492: Conquest of Paradise
1996 White Squall
1997 G.I. Jane
2000 Gladiator
2001 Hannibal
Black Hawk Down
2003 Matchstick Men
2005 Kingdom of Heaven
2006 A Good Year
2007 American Gangster
2008 Body of Lies
2010 Robin Hood
2012 Prometheus
2013 The Counselor
2014 Exodus: Gods and Kings

Exodus is currently sitting on about 28% on RT. Prometheus was one of the biggest clusterfukks in the last decade. Robin Hood, A Good Year and Hannibal were pathetic. And then we got the utter diarrhea he was shytting out in the 90s. GI Jane, White Squall and 1492

Now calling him one of the worst directors is more exaggerating for affect but the point still stands that he's released A LOT of trash. He has more bad films than good ones by a long distance.

I didn't want to make a thread but 50 is wilding.

 

[HHR]

Don't sleep on his cut of Kingdom Of Heaven. That shyt is incredible.

one of my favorite movies. the cinematography in that flick is the best. that scene where those dudes come to take orlando bloom and they fight while it's snowing is

 

[The_King_of_Everything]

50 is a fukk nikka he's been trying so hard to be acceptedby whites ever since he started "acting"

 

[The_King_of_Everything]

What's it about

 

[Silver Surfer]

Stupid thread....all of those are good movies their own right

 

[Monoblock]

No fukking way. He might have fukked up his resume with his recent movies but aint no way this shyt should be coming out of your mouth. He has too many classics.
nikka named Alien and Blade Runner on a list and still said he's the worst directors ever in the same breath

 

[OG_StankBrefs]

Just like Gary Oldman and many others. Talented at thier craft but complete n utter pieces of shyt people.

Dis whole Exodus fiasco and his response got me 'n on him from dis point forward. fukk em.

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

What's it about

the crusades

orlando bloom, liam neeson, edward norton, eva green...

incredible movie

might be the biggest leap in quality between directors cut and theatrical in movie history..the theatrical version completely leaves out a bunch of important shyt

 

[NobodyReally]

He's extremely hit & miss, and only now people seem to be catching on.

Yes, but when he hits, he hits hard as hell. Makes you forget all of the misses.

 

[Gains]

I didn't want to make a thread but 50 is wilding.

Im sorry , but that shyt was

 

[Remote]

I guess he does have some good movies under his belt, but I don't really care for him.

It's not like if you hear that Martin Scorcese is doing a movie and you make a point to check it out.

When I hear that Ridley Scott is doing a movie, I think....ugh, I bet this shyt will have a massive budget and run 30 minutes longer than it needs to.

it's funny because the studio made him cut about 30 minutes out of kingdom of heaven and it made much of the character relationships incomprehensible...you add those 30 minutes back to it and it becomes a classic flick (in my opinion)

I never actually saw that movie.

But at 144 minutes, that's a pretty long movie as it is.

According to IMDB, the director's cut is 190 minutes.
3 hours? Few movies can be 3 hours and still be good. But maybe...
