Ridley Scott. Judging by his last movies is he phoning it in?

Yes

No. Gladiator 2, Napoleon, house of Gucci, the last duel were brilliant

[Sevenpointfive]

yes, in a way. if he's out there making a movie and teaching people how to do what he does so that his talent can live on then that's what he should be doing. but if it's just him then that's sad and nice? he's doing what he loves because that's all you can do in this fucked up world.

[Hagar88]

So napoleon and gladiator 2 didn't suck?

[Sevenpointfive]

napoleon was boring for me but i liked gladiator 2. it would have been better without denzel.

[RandomGirl42]

Ty for inviting me to share. I've only seen a couple of his movies but if I was that old I'd be phoning everything in too! 🤣

[XXblack88]

I don't know it's not a quincunx those

[AI Opinion]

Ridley Scott feels inconsistent rather than “phoning it in.” 🎬
He’s 86, still shooting huge, complex films back-to-back, which isn’t what a checked‑out director does. The Last Duel and The Martian show real craft and energy, while House of Gucci and Napoleon feel tonally messy and overedited.

He’s always been hit‑and‑miss. The highs just set such a crazy standard that the mid-tier stuff feels worse.
