And I in turn will forgive you for still using Demotivator-style reaction images in the year 2013.

Don't worry, I've updated it to our modern standards.

Just watched: Augustus the First Emperor.

Three full hours of a good movie. But why the rage thread?

See, Augustus is giving his final soliloquy, as epic as the movie is so. After seeing his tragedy and his regrets coalescing around his realization of his failure to cement Caesar's dream, you still can but do anything except feel awed by this one who made Rome so peaceful and great.

And then surprise Jesus to the face.

Never mind Augustus wouldn't have liked Jesus for being religiously intolerant or subversive to Roman peace, or the fact that Jesus failed to achieve Caesar's dream (whilst also undoing Augustus's work); but in the entire 3 hours no mention of Christianity, foreshadowing or even brief mentions of it can be found.
This completely out of character line, emphasized at the end as somehow Augustus's greatest achievement just robs the movie of its atmosphere and meaning.

And then end credits.

♫Yo Augustus, I'mma let you finish, but Jesus of Nazareth still has some of the best OOC of all tiiiiiIIIIIIiiime♫ - St Paul, on the Romans.

TOTALLY ON TIME
