Gladiator II

This is the story that answers how things went after the first movie. My hopes wasn't great for this part 2 but I was positively surprised. Its a great movie with lots of entertainment. 7/10

$250 million, and the best we get is… rabid monkeys? Ridley Scott’s Gladiator 2 feels like a parody of itself. Pascal’s character is utterly unnecessary, a cardboard figure who exists solely to fill runtime without contributing anything memorable or meaningful. D.W., despite his undeniable talent, is saddled with a bafflingly underwritten role, spouting clunky dialogue as the story collapses aroun...

When Ridley Scott decided to revisit Gladiator, it sounded like an opportunity to expand on one of the greatest historical epics. Instead, we got a rehash that feels more like a missed opportunity than a bold sequel. The first act rushes through familiar territory. A general, born out of combat, loses his family and ends up as a slave. Sound familiar? It’s the same setup as Maximus’s story, min...

Denzel is a badass. I love Denzel. He does the tongue thing from Joaquin's role in the first. Not even he could save this pile of crap. The CGI somehow is worse than the original. Historical battles are cool but not even historical battles could save this pile of crap. The Mandalorian is cool. Not even the Mandalorian could save this pile of crap. It's a pile of crap.

After many years, the sequel of the movie is really great, go to the cinema and watch it.

Are you not entertained? Well, quite frankly, no.... Gladiator II or Gladiator lite as I like to call it is the "essentials" brand version of Gladiator. You know like, the "essentials brand" of underpants as opposed to known brands like Bendon or Jockey. They do the job, they're okay but still the brand names are just "better". Gladiator lite (II) mimics its predecessor but its predominant...

pssst.... it's woke, but that's no surprise. What is a surprise is that people are giving spoiler alerts. I don't understand why. Like so many movie squeals and reboots what you have here is Gladiator with everything intelligent and entertaining sucked out of it. So it's the same movie, but shorter. There are two emperors rather than ones. Rome is falling, but not from the debauchery, inte...

Gladiator II features some impressive action sequences. Every battle in the Colosseum is fantastic despite how historically inaccurate they may be. The monkey sequence showcases how skilled Hanno (Paul Mescal) is not only as a fighter but also in how he interacts with others. Then there's the rhino sequence that plays out much like Bugs Bunny’s interactions with Toro the Bull in the Chuck Jones-di...
