I love practical effects. I'm in.
Hopefully the sets are also mostly real.

I'm a huge history buff, and would consider myself an expert on 14th and 15th century French and English history. It's a passion and the reason why I pursued a degree in history.
Yep. This film is right up my street.
Just please be better than the last film we had in this era, which was The King on Netflix. God, that film was shit and so woefully inaccurate.

Where the hell did this come from? First I’ve heard of it.
Looks good though. A long, drawn out duel between two great actors by a master visual storyteller? Yes please.
Only real concern is Affleck. He’s such an acting minnow up against a lot of the rest of that cast. Hoping his inevitably mediocre performance doesn’t spoil it.

Cretinously credulous
Historical accuracy and Ridley Scott don't really go hand in hand, but he does make some really nicely acted, edited and shot movies. So yeah, I am in.

Hang on, so the FIRST duel is called "The Last Duel"? And it looks like they show us all the good stuff in the trailer...unless one of them loses and there is a big war as the third act.
Looks great though, costume oscar for sure.

I rewatched Kingdom come deliverance of Heaven (dc) not so long ago. Maybe it's his best work from the last 20 years and this one has the same vibe. Really excited by both this one and House of Gucci (with Adam Driver too...)
Despite the critics i like most of his "recent" movies (Body of lies, American gangster, Black hawk down, The Martian and even the first Prometheus).

Thankfully House of Gucci is releasing just days after The Last Duel, so the irony of having his first and last movies be about duels is almost guaranteed to be averted. The man turns 83 this year lol
It's based on the true story of the last duel permitted in France.

Fuck. Forgot about that. His historical films are not only historically inaccurate, but also very hit and miss.
Gladiator and Kingdom of Heaven (directors cut anyway) are really good.
Exodus and Robin Hood are absolute shit.

It looks good....but I'm going to really struggle taking blonde medieval Ben Affleck and mullet medieval Matt Damon seriously.
I'll take this over american actors doing fake french accents for the whole movie.
Set in France, American actors, English accents

Plot twist, David lands the Covenant ship half way through the movie and all hell breaks loose.

Ridley Scott films have a habit of looking amazing but being terribly written. The writers for this are Matt Damon and Ben Affleck themselves, along with someone who wrote the script to Black Widow so who knows?
Probably worth seeing either way just for swords and naked people.

Bah, The Hound (or was it the Mountain?) already did it in Game of Thrones

It looks awesome except for two things...
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
Matt Damon "Conservatives are actually good people, I had no idea!" can go **** himself.
The only role Ben Affleck can play now is a depressed alcoholic.
The rest looks great though.

Uh, didn't know anything about the existence of this film. I'll keep an eye on it.

I briefly skimmed Wikipedia, rather complex case. Interesting that if the initiating party lost the wife would have been hanged immediately as someone that gave 'false testimony'. It would have happened at Gibbet of Mountfaucon, where one of greatest man in Medieval France - Enguerrand de Marigny - was also hanged.
