The success of Reynolds' Free Guy, in which the Canadian actor plays an NPC that becomes conscious of his existing in an open-world video game, has reignited some discussion around Butler's 2009 movie Gamer, which sees him trapped inside a first-person shooter that allows players to control real death-row inmates. However, according to his interview with UNILAD, Butler seems unlikely to acknowledge the similarity. Related: Who Plays Buddy In Free Guy? Where You Know The Actor From And, with the Has Fallen and Deadpool films, both also entered the 2020s with successful franchises in tow. They were both romcom mainstays early in their careers, and each has lent their voice to a popular animated franchise: How to Train Your Dragon for Butler and The Croods for Reynolds. Though Butler first caught Hollywood's attention with The Phantom of the Opera and 300 and Reynolds came up through TV, they both became the kind of actor whose face goes right on the poster in the 2000s. On the surface, Butler and Reynolds have both had shifting star-images that have taken similar turns. Reynolds, meanwhile, is riding high on the success of Free Guy, which received generally positive reviews and is so far in this year's top-10 highest grossing films. The Scottish actor known primarily for action films such as 300 is currently doing press for his latest, Copshop, which released earlier this month.

Her presence alone was worth the price of admission.Gerard Butler says he doesn't really watch Ryan Reynolds' movies. It'd be remiss of me not to give the gorgeous Eva Green a standalone mention, she looks amazing throughout and more than badass to fit her part. Sadly, the 300 franchise thrives mostly on action sequences and plot lines stay on the back-burner, I think that's where the opportunity of making brilliant sequel was lost and the viewer was left with a decent but forgettable action flick. And my biggest gripe with this film is that these fascinating personalities didn't really have much to do. The best part of the movie for me were the characters, I find the Persians far more interesting - Xerses and Artemisia (Eva Green) are both fascinating. I generally hate never ending, mindless action sequences but the ones in this flick were quite watchable, there were even a few brilliant moments. The storyline is average, the visual effects and action sequences are without doubt state-of-the-art. HIstory aside, there's more than one element of pure fantasy in this movie, so one hardly expects the historical portrayal to be completely factual. This is entertainment and must be treated as such. A lot of reviews of are calling out historical fallacies and giving the movie 1 star ratings. I didn't intend to review this movie but am doing so because I think a lot of the reviews are really slanted and uncalled for.
