On-Demandable.
And I don't want to sound like a tree hugging hippy but why Matt Damon?
If you're going to offend an entire ancient nation and cast someone not a member of that nation as a great hero of theirs, isn't there someone better than him?
When Will is Hunting, it better be Good.
If Damon gets eaten, I'll watch it.

I've seen some people complain about "whitewashing" in this movie.
But the film was written, created, and directed by Chinese folks.
Shot down
that Outrage™ protest pretty quickly. :DD
Still... it's Matt Damon so :-\

Matt Damon isn't playing a Chinese person in this film... don't you people even read... ::)

OK so I didn't read it. So if he's playing a European what is the big hullabaloo about?
Looks dumb.
The movie or Matt Damon?
yes.
...plan some extra time to circumvent those libtards protest marchers because the dump propaganda movie mongers the idea that a guarded wall can actually reduce unwanted border crossing ^-^
ACLU / SJW demands that you are ordered to see "Fences" instead ;)

Not about "reason". It's about "feelings" or something... ::) :P
Meanwhile, I think the movie looks.. .... imaginative! :bd: There's a good chance I'll like it a lot, but past experience suggests an equally good chance I won't.
Somehow my expectation of both feels higher than 50%. ::)

Outrage culture.
Outrage that Matt Damon is such a prolific force in movie making?
Jason Legolas Borne meets the Orc-Lizards. Why is a guy who uses a bow looking for gunpowder? Is he like getting too old to pull his bowstring back( not a sexual reference)? And what part of Europe does he come from with a perfect American accent? :hide:
He's probably related to Kevin Costner's Robin Hood.
Somewhere, John Wayne (as Genghis Kahn) nods approvingly.
So does Mickey Rooney as Mr yunioshi
And the entire cast of "Gods of Egypt"
