Oh, you want to know what kind of film this is? This film was directed by a person who had just been on the verge of dying after a drug overdose. That is the kind of film this is.

Comparisons between this movie and Rocky are inevitable, but the differences are obvious. This is a much darker, aggressive film: There is nothing emotionally rewarding about it. It is not "almost too much". No, it is actually obnoxious.

Needless to say, not everyone will like it. It is not an emotionally attractive film, and many will find that they cannot relate to the incredibly violent, deranged character of Jake LaMotta. I would not be surprised if someone gave this movie a 1-star review because of how horrifically, frighteningly off-putting his personality is. In this film, he is both the protagonist and the antagonist.

Perception aside, let's look at the real meat of this movie. The co-screenwriter stated that the issue with this movie was that it "has been done a hundred times before -- a fighter who has trouble with his brother and his wife and the mob is after him"

Yet this is considered one of the greatest movies of all time by many, despite the fact that so many people are turned off by the subject matter. Why?

This is, without a doubt, a filmmaker's film. If we take a detailed look at the cinematography, acting, editing, and dialog, you must ask the question: Honestly, Is there any question? It is, truly, some of the best you can expect to find in a movie. The technical skill put into this movie is mindblowing. This is why people like Roger Ebert are so captivated by this movie.

It is hard to say that this movie is fantastic because it is incredibly difficult to watch and is, by vote, not entertaining. However, it is a technical masterpiece, and from beginning to end, it is an excellently produced movie. For most, this is not a fun movie. It is, however, a fun movie to analyze. Not a bad pick if you are looking for a professional movie, but not something you'd watch with family.

There are a lot of bizarre (sometimes nonsensical) moments that would confuse anyone in their right mind. Also, the CGI and animation can be a bit awkward at times. However, it was interesting seeing how the hero and the villain interacted with other people, and how their personalities clashed. The characters, the theme, and the overall plot were done very well.

It is a very good show and it is definitely worth watching, but it has some pretty trippy moments.

I have about 900 hours logged on this game.

The game is very innovative and offers a truly unique experience. However, after playing for a while it becomes apparent that the game really just feels and plays like a beta. Even though it seems like the game has a lot of variety at first, there is actually a very narrow, ideal way to play that forces you into an extremely repetitive cycle if you wish to play efficiently. The game tries to be tactical, clearly, but you can pretty much curbstomp everyone in the game by just spamming Swadian Knights. There is no actual tactical ability required; knowledge of what is overpowered and what is not determines how well you do in battles.

Oh, and you think sieges are going to be cool? Honestly, the way you win sieges is by throwing a ton of Swadian Knights into the meatgrinder that siege ladders are while you try to get into a good camping spot and just mindlessly hack at a ton of enemies.

And of course there's the fact that when you finish the game and unite Calradia, many bugs start occurring. Clearly, this game was not meant to be finished.

Honestly though, this is a great game, and I'm hoping that Bannerlord fixes its issues with balance. As I stated, it is a truly unique, innovative, and enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend getting mods though.
