Gladiator II - 4/10
Woah, what did I just watch? wtf were those colosseum fights lmfao, and Ridley Scott messing with history again for some cheap entertainment.
The drama, which was the high point of 2000s movie, doesn't exist in this sequence, the protagonist is an empty box. Denzel Washington's character literally saved the movie.
This is a cheesy action film, if you don't care much about history and a good script, you might like it.
But seriously I don't know what's wrong with Ridley Scott, his Napoleon film was already beyond terrible with those stupid war strategies.

It's been a long time since i saw the original but it never needed a sequel. People were satisfied with it. Same with 300 and some other films/IPs.
As soon as I saw the trailer for this appear, I just felt an aura of greed, shallow fanservice and disappointment.
Hollywood doesn't care for integrity.
This just looked so hollow, so soulless. Unlike the original ofc.
