But you already knew that about yourself :( Damn, that was gonna be my next argument, that you went into the movie, thinking you would hate it, and thus hating it.

In fact, that was the whole reason I went to see it, to sniff derisively at the film and look down upon it with an air of smug superiority. Now if the film had been done in that Marvel-style you described, I might have totally loved it... like <i>Stargate</i> or something. But this movie just sucked. It sucked and sucked and then it sucked some more. It sucked so bad the suckiness dribbled down from the screen to wiggle away into the darkness to die in shame. Okay, maybe it didn't suck that bad, but it certainly wasn't good. Don't just take my word for it <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/10006807-10000_bc/" rel="nofollow">Rotten Tomatoes hated it too</a>. If it had been a <i>good film</i> with all these historical inaccuracies, I would have pointed out the inaccuracies, but plugged the movie anyway. When a movie's good, I can overlook the implausibilities. <i>Gangs of New York</i> was a great example of such a film. And feel free to insult me anytime, I know I'm a dumbass. : ) I totally knew I would hate it too.

Just because it is of the past, and has has obviously incorrect information :p But here is how I will watch the movie, taking a cue from Marvel. I will picture it as earth in an alternate dimension. Aka, I will take it is an action adventure movie, meaning to woo me with visual effects and possibly cool fight/action sequences. Now please Ryan, get off your mighty high horse and stop hating everything that is new and isn't correct, it is so cliche :o Not meant to be an insult or anything, but just a message. Ryan, calm down, heh. Ryan, I knew you would hate this movie. Just because it is of the past, and has has obviously incorrect information :p
