Why do we never discuss this GOAT movie?

I thought it was okay but I was incredibly disappointed when I first saw it. Looking at the cast and the minds behind it, I was expecting something truly incredible. It was just mildly entertaining. You want an infinitely more underrated Ridley Scott, look no further than pic related. Nobody gave a shit about it then and now.

Both movies are typical 3/5 ridley.

AG, yes. Body of Lies is a 4/5 at least. The performance of Mark Strong as the King of Jordan is a masterful thing to see, sort of like Edward Norton's turn as Baldwin in Kingdom of Heaven. The plot itself is also very good, never plodding in its 2 hour runtime. There's also the fact that it's increasingly relevant, whereas AG is very much a nostalgia piece centered around Denzel Washington hamming it up.

I liked Body of Lies but it was a bit camp and over the top in a lot of ways which ruins it for me now.

I only remember the scene where Leo knocks over Russell Crowe in his chair to be particularly "over the top", but even that was satisfying in a way.

Strong as Hani Salaam and Norton as Baldwin are 5/5 performances and characters in solidly 3/5 movies (though I haven't seen Kingdom of Heaven in many years, I should revisit). I get your point but those performances don't fix everything else about their movies enough for me to say they are 4/5. 3.5/5, sure
