Laughed way too hard at Rob Patt’s Antinous just announcing “Shield”, “Swords” whilst hiding behind the pillar. Loved his performance in the movie.

I do think Joaquin's performance as Commodus remains untouched though

Oh for sure but it just reminded me of him a lot

To be fair, he was rizzing up Penelope pretty well up (until the filicide implication)

The whole cinema laughed the third time he announced the weapons were being dropped. It was quite a strange inclusion to the scene.

"Spears!" made me groan. The only blemish on an otherwise fantastic movie. How the fuck that sequence survived editing I have no idea.

I’ll be honest, maybe I wasn’t following closely enough, wasn’t sure if he was supposed to be a total badass and then yeah got my answer
