Self-deprecating gay jokes are the highest form of comedy, thank you very much,

But seriously, the phalanx was my favorite part, because I'm a total history nerd.

That movie was satisfying, like a gigantic burger when you're really hungry.

I was kind of bugged that they kept saying how important fighting in phalanx was, then 5 seconds later they'd be spread out over a few hundred feet on their own leeping through the air.

The Phalanx is for fighting an army. When you saw them spread out it was just to finish off the stragglers of a wave.

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piƱa coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

The movie most definitely did not disappoint in the least. I loved everything about it.

It seems like one of the rare cases where it actually is a movie that's not for critics at all.

It was more gory the second time.

I wasn't too busy going to notice the flying body parts and such.

Did you not notice that even when they weren't in locked phalanx, they tended to fight in teams? One guy parrying a blow for the other guy while he hacks some dude to pieces? One guy setting up another guy to strike a vicious blow, etc. I mean...I thought that was one of the REALLY well-choreographed elements of things.

I think they just did this because it was cool. Could be wrong though, as it proved to be quite effective.

Not all reviewers didn't like it.

"He lets the last Hungarian go, and he goes running. He waits until his wife and kids are in the ground and he goes after the rest of the mob. He kills their kids, he kills their wives, he kills their parents and their parents' friends. He burns down the houses they grew up in and the stores they work in, he kills people that owe them money. And like that he was gone. Underground. No one has ever seen him again. He becomes a myth, a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night. 'If you rat on your pop, Keyser Soze will get you.' And nobody really ever believes." - Roger 'Verbal' Kint, The Usual Suspects
