Channing Tatum used to have his own qualms about action films led by female actors. But that changed when he was cast in this underappreciated feature.

Tatum used to have reservations regarding the action genre as a whole. The star at one point confided that he preferred to star in romance films instead of stories with high thrills and large explosions
“I don’t like action movies, they’re not that interesting – although they’re fun to do for the physical element of it, I guess,” Tatum once said according to Female First.
Female-driven action movies were no exception. It seemed that at the time Tatum just didn’t find most women in action films believable.
“My wife always hates when I go, ‘I just don’t love female action movies!

Through its eight season run on HBO, Game of Thrones featured increasingly epic battle sequences. Jon Snow’s engagements alone highlight the escalation in martial scale from season 3’s “The Watchers on the Wall” to season 5’s “Hardhome” to season 6’s “Battle of the Bastards.”
As the show’s popularity grew, so too did its budget, creating an opportunity for more Medieval-era military spectacle. That also means, however, that some of the show’s earlier attempts at big scale battles fell a little short in hindsight.
No episode is a better example of that than season 2’s penultimate installment “Blackwater.” Taking its name from Stannis Baratheon’s Blackwater-based siege of King’s Landing, this hour-long battle was Game of Thrones‘ first real attempt at a Lord of the Rings Helm’s Deep-level battle. And for what we were used to seeing on television at the time, it was entirely successful.
