Coriolanus

Caius Martius 'Coriolanus' (Ralph Fiennes), a revered and feared Roman General is at odds with the city of Rome and his fellow citizens. Pushed by his controlling and ambitious mother Volumnia (Vanessa Redgrave) to seek the exalted and powerful position of Consul, he is loath to ingratiate himself with the masses whose votes he needs in order to secure the office. When the public refuses to support him, Coriolanus's anger prompts a riot that culminates in his expulsion from Rome. The banished hero then allies himself with his sworn enemy Tullus Aufidius (Gerard Butler) to take his revenge on the city.

This movie was absolutely awesome at the beginning. I was completely not understanding how this got a quiet and limited release. The action was great. There was awesome tension build up between the two main guys. And then all of a sudden they started talking. And it was like really long, ancient Roman speeches with big words and seemed to go on forever kind of like this sentence. It pretty much destroyed the movie for me. Either have it be an Ancient Rome movie or have these two generals battle it out in modern times. Doing a mashup of the two - not so good.

I wouldn't really recommend that anyone bother watching this. I honestly couldn't take it anymore and pulled the plug halfway through.
