Rodrigo's Reviews
Jason Momoa is kinda gay
The movie unfolds at a blistering pace, sparing no time for reprieve as it hurtles from one action sequence to another. An endless spectacle of explosive showdowns and thrilling combat ensures there's never a dull moment. If you're able to overlook the narrative aspect of the saga, you'll likely enjoy it. Although engaging overall, the film suffers from an excess of storylines.
What truly irked me, however, was the handling of my favorite character, portrayed by Jason Momoa. The movie made a questionable decision to subvert his masculinity (for instance, by having him paint his nails and those of the deceased in one scene). At the same time, he asserts, "masculinity should be taken down a notch these days". With Momoa being one of the most archetypically masculine actors I can imagine, this attempt to de-emphasize his masculinity seems unnecessary and somewhat off the mark.
