[quote name='MaxBiaggi3'][quote name='Duo_Maxwell']IMO somebody fighting off hundreds of identical looking foes at once is much more absurd and exaggerated that anything seen in this film.[/quote]
The scene near the end before Bale reaches Robert the Bruce and Taye Diggs is this exactly, one guy vs. a heavily-armed small army of identical masked guards. The only thing more anti-climactic than this was the actual showdown between Bale and Diggs and finally Bale and Robert the Bruce.
It's still a decent film, but certainly not the pinnacle of cinematic excellence that some are making it out to be. This film needed more real characters, less faceless goons and more variety to the action and locales. If Halo and P.N. 03 were guilty of repeating nondescript scenery, this film deserves much the same conviction.[/quote]
He fights like 50 people or so at the end, not hundreds (though overall the film had an absurdly high body count). Also they are uniformed soldiers on a police force. Granted the masks are kinda goofy, but if you walk into an army barracks or police station you're likely to see many people dressed in the same uniform. His character is designed to be a one man army and it comes of like it's intended. I could see where some find the final showdown as anti-climatic but that's a matter of opinion.
Your other arguments are totally revleant to the film's content and budget. For one a emotionless society is going to have a very plain, drab looking world. I think the film did that. Plus they had a pretty small budget especially for an action film, I'm pretty sure even Halo and PN 03 themselves had bigger budgets. They worked well with what they had. Nobody expects cinematic excellence, that's reserved for hollywood big budget films and epics. But I was suprised to find it a very well done and entertaining B-movie (which is what it was meant to be more or less) and the cinematography was well done for such a film IMO.
