There is only one Gladiator. His name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And he has his vengeance, in this life or the next. Remember that.
Maximus Decimus Meridius is a fictional character from the 2000 film Gladiator, portrayed by Russell Crowe. While he is the main character in the movie, there were many gladiators throughout ancient Roman history, not just one. Maximus is a creation of the film, and his famous lines reflect his personal journey of vengeance in the story, but they don't represent the historical existence of a single, defining gladiator.
One of the best things about older movies like the gladiator is that there were things that were un-said. Things the audience wanted to hear but were never spoken. It left a mystery among the audience. Hollywood today has completely forgotten that very real concept.
@@redgatecrt does what speak volumes about the audience? I think a gladiator movie would be a little repetitive but that wouldn’t inherently make it crap. That doesn’t mean you can’t make a great story line without DEI hires and propaganda. The audience is tired of that crap and we just want good story writing back.
I can't take it any more ! I did re enactments in Germany in the late 80's while in the Army ( Trier ) . I still have my Centurions Uniform & now I go trick or treating with my grandson ( I'm 71 Roman is 3 years old .) , every Halloween .( You'll never guess my sons name ?????? ) . It's the cross bows that put the final spike in my wrist ! I guess the Parthians used long Bows to decimate the Legions of Crassus in 53 BC ?
Ridley Scott making a movie that smacks of his career... The similarities between the corruption and decay of Rome versus the rot in Hollywood is low-key hilarious 😂
Todd Phillips after Joker 2: No one can make a sequel that ruins the original better than me! Riley Scott: Hold me beer... Is there a some sort of contest among Hollywood directors we don't know about?
I literally think that Todd was legitimately trying to make a movie about mens mental health and the studio tried to milk it so he sabotaged it. Ridley on the other hand is just way past his prime and needs to throw in the rag.
Next: Gladiator Vs. the Invaders from Saturn. Gladiator and the She-Vampires. The Son of Gladiator Against the Amazons from the Center of the Earth! Gladiator Vs. Jesse James
i just rewatched Gladiator yesterday. Simple masterpiece from beginning to end. Never thought of a sequel. Then i heard about Gladiator 2 and saw Denzel in it and i was like, "damn! DENZEL DONT MAKE NO BAD MOVIE!.......!" i got so hyped.......but wow............ idk. i dont like being a pessimist. and i really enjoy being happy... so imma try to use everything in my mental manipulation toolkit to trick myself into thinking this is going to be a great film and im going to enjoy it! :') i have hope?? :D :'(
Zola, Triangle Of Sadness, Beau Is Afraid, great movies from past few years. Strange Darling and Longlegs great movies this year. That's just off top my head.
i dont get people who say shit like this its not a relationship, your not dating gladiator 1. i to like gladiator and ill watch this as an intrigue movie goer. Hopefully they do a good job but obviously number 1 holds a special place. I'll enter the cinema interested and open minded with what they do with the story line
That just proves old is gold I don't know what's up with the new generation (even though I am 25)they have the technology , the effects and they get paid way more.. but every thing about them is so kiddish and fake they lack the talent they had back in the day
I think the issue is they rely too much on CGI and Camera Techniques to make the fight sequence. Back then, Actors and directors has to rely on people actually doing scenes with very little CGI, which requires more creativity. There was a joke about James Cameron ask Jackie Chan how he filmed the scene where he jumped from a roof Top onto the balcony of another build, Jackie Chan replies "Oh, is easy. The Director said, Action! and then I jumped!"
they rely on cgi way too much, and nobody wants to take the risk of making a genuinely good and complicated movie. too much can go wrong. Easier to just make another superhero movie, or make a sequel, because they know it will sell. Things will change when people stop watching the crap they shit out.
@@sebraven The worst way to make money is to ruin a perfect movie by making a sequel, like part 2 or part 4 (Matrix 4)... They know it doesn’t work, it's been tested countless times... yet they still do it.
You know when Hollyweird is on the skits when they make a sequel of a classic movie that didn't need a sequel. Can't wait for Troy 2 to come out next year!
thought this was an ai gen parody but sadly i was mistaken.. "in a world, where training day and planet of the apes meet in ancient rome, we made sure to copy/paste as many tropes from the first movie as possible so you KNOW its gladiator 2.."
It's supposed to just be an unhealthy baboon with mange or something (not sure if they used them in gladiator battles, but it checks out because they had control of bits of africa). Not gonna argue on the quality of the movie because I couldn't agree more 🤮
'Would you Quintus, would I?' - Gladiator did it all. Celebrated old civilizations and empires. It's conquerers, it's love and it's greatness. It's shortcomings, it's fragile politics and it's failures, it's utter destruction. But above all it's a film about virtue, to suffer in the name of others, and to be ready die for it. To be patient and hopeful, for you will see them again. But not yet.. not yet.
Wonderful quote. Even in the absence of context. Well remembered and thanks for bringing it to the table. Gladiator is more than a film. It is about man’s journey to do what is right for the world, despite living in the torment of grief and betrayal. Ridley dropped the mic with the first film. It was terrible judgement to pick it off the floor and start spouting this drivel, but I can forgive him - not that he cares.

Mutant? You obviously never seen an angry baboon. They used Rhinos also , all sorts of animals . Starve them to make them more angry. Trebuchets? Onager catapults! Again all used by the Romans .
I never understood why some people are so cautious about sequels... Even if the 2nd one BLOWS DONKEY BALLS, it's not like it impedes or hinders the original...
Yes actually, imo it's well bcs it will inevitably impedes the original, gladiator will be judged as a franchise in a way, mostly by those, youngers, and more and more numerous btw, who never saw the first one, and the franchise will inevitably be less good than the one that should have remained the one and only, and it was a real masterpiece. The bad second one will have without any doubts a negative impact on the first one. That's why often sequels can be rly a bad idea, concerning some movies anyway, mostly to masterpieces like gladiator.
The same happened to The Conan saga. Conan The Barbarian was a cult movie with an outstanding soundtrack. Conan The Destroyer was a funny movie for the whole family!
Someone needs to stop this vindictive old man from egregiously trampling on history over and over again. It doesnt have to super accurate but this movie is an insult to the audience's intelligence. Its hard to immerse yourself in the period when literally every aspect of the movie is inaccurate. If you enjoy this slop fine but I and many others will judge you for your poor taste.
@@promark5317 I'm not disagreeing, but let's not forget its just a movie, not a documentary. For those who don't know the accurate history of the era - it's escapist pablum to chew popcorn with. I'm passing it by, tho. Loved the first one and don't want to ruin it with a lesser sequel.
@@SilentKnight43 I know man. Im wasnt saying that it needs to be 100% historical. But it at can at least be 70-80 percent historical. This movie is like 10% historical. I like the first Gladiator because its at least grounded in reality. I even like the directors cut of Kingdom of Heaven. But Napolean and now Gladiator 2 just went waaaay to far the point that it became comical and absurd. Its immersion breaking. Another example of a perfect balance of history and creative liberty was the movie 300.
Referencing your "woke" comment about "black Roman soldiers," Rome had several Emperors from Africa. For example, Marcus Opelius Macrinus and Lucius Septimius Severus. Lucius was one of Rome's greatest emperors. He began as a senator (confirmed to the Senate by Emperor Marcus Aurelius). He was a general and a governor before becoming emperor. He was a warrior emperor, and died in Britain in 211CE waging military campaigns to subdue the Britons and Scots in what was then called Caledonia.He established the original boundary of Londinium (London). When emperor Commodus died (he's in the film), it was Lucius that became the next emperor! Also, Rome was almost destroyed during the Punic wars by Carthage, an African city state. A Carthaginian army killed an estimated 70,000 Romans at the Battle of Cannae, 216BCE. And surely you've heard about Hannibal crossing the Alps (with elephants) to attack Rome from the north? Finally, Rome used African soldiers in its legions, especially African cavalry as shock troops! It's too bad this history is still unknown to most Americans. Google: Lucius Septimius Severus to see an image from Roman times of him, his wife Empress Julia Domna (born in modern day Syria). It's NOT "woke," it's untold history! So much of modern American politics is an illusion that has no basis in historical facts.
What's next? The Gladiator meet the Vampire? Gladiator vs space invaders? What about Gladiator teaming with Rambo defending America freedom and democracy?
Decidi ver gladiador en el cine sin saber nada de esa película, no habia publicidad previa a las películas, al verla sali del cine convencido que hice la mejor inversión de mi vida al comprar ese boleto, y hasta ka fecha la puedo ver sin dejar de emocionarme después de haberla visto mas de 50 veces. Es imposible que eso se pueda superar. Pero obviamente vere esta segunda parte, haber que emoción me puede generar.
"Hi my name is Ridley Scott and I LOVE making historical movies. But I also don't give a single flying fuck about authenticity or what even makes sense." God I hate him more and more... Next we'll have Vikingds fighting Samurai in the jungles of central africa with napalm-like explosions in the background..
Who cares? If the acting and movie is good, who cares if they are Italian or not. Densel passes the white test as well, he lives full time in Amalfi. As long as they don't blast Diddy in the movie theater we will survive.
@@ik6uf8xd3e I care. And many many others as well. I'm a history buff and love seeing my passion put to screen. Actual history is as amazing and fascinating as anyone can imagine. It doesn't need to be bastardized just so there's more flashy lights to entertain your eyes. Look at HBO's Rome as a reference. They stayed true to nature and put alot of effort in recreating the amcient world as it truely was. And it is fantastic. It didn't need race-swapping, allegory or unrealistic stuff to make it entertaining..
@@user-bj5ys4wn3s well... from my point of view - too many historical inaccuracies. Riding a rhino? Really? The first Gladiator wasn't documentary also, but it was pretty grounded. This looks like some Disney Marvel crap in ancient Rome.
The actors are great. Let's be real for one moment. There were no black people in power at all not one in or around the Roman empire. Not racist just fact. Why make a second one anyways the first was as good as it gets.
There was. Septimius severus, his two sons are in this film and they're depicted as white. The film is racist in not showing their true skin color. Romans weren't white as snow either. They was Mediterranean looking. The Germans conquered Rome in the ancient times and ever since, they just whitewash over these facts in every film about ancient Rome or Greece.
@@JBWozEre96 Septimius Severus was not "black," he was of Carthaginian/Italian ancestry. This is the same lazy and Afrocentric take that gives us a black Cleopatra simply because she lived on the African continent.
@@douglasraphael149 Your making it racist instead of dealing in reality. The Romans were some of the if not the most racist people of their time. Please do not fall into these all inclusive movies. If you are talking abot Brad Pitt in Troy of course they wanted him with a tan. This woud bring more women to the box office but in the end he was still white. Denzel is one of my favorite actors but I would not put him in a role as George Washington. If you think after all these centuries that we are racist in 2024 then put yourself back when the Romans were in charge.
John Wick makes a brief appearance on a rhino with his optional twin crossbows taking out the roman mafia but he has to deal with Denzel the equilizer.
Hubo rinocerontes en el coliseo? sí, los hubo. Hubo rinocerontes con jinete? por supuesto que no!!! Ridley se queja de las películas de marvel y después nos hace ésto. Y después mete encima tiburones. Venga pon a Hulk también.
Isn't there an old Def Leppard video (Animal?) with a guy riding a Rhino? Never under-estimate circus people's abilities with animals, I still remember seeing a dude in a cage with Polar Bears balancing on boxes.

I think you meant to say, "THERE should never have been a sequel".

Mutant? You obviously never seen an angry baboon. They used Rhinos also , all sorts of animals . Starve them to make them more angry. Trebuchets? Onager catapults! Again all used by the Romans .
Read up on your Roman history .
Any sequel is a mere footnote.
Are you not entertained? ... Nope.
Good one. I see what you did there.
Underrated comment
I asked it before: How does Scott churn out all these mega-productions within such a short span?
For all of those who say this didn’t need a sequel: Who cares what you think!!!!
The majority of Gladiator fans and the general movie going public. Yours is the opinion no one cares about. Have a nice day. 😃😃😃
FUCK EM'!!!
Yeah no one cares
This sucks so bad it could siphon oil
Plot was pretty simple to map out. Exactly the same as the first with identical characters
I never understood why some people are so cautious about sequels...
Even if the 2nd one BLOWS DONKEY BALLS, it's not like it impedes or hinders the original...
cause you dont need sequels of such Epic Movies
Yes actually, imo it's well bcs it will inevitably impedes the original, gladiator will be judged as a franchise in a way, mostly by those, youngers, and more and more numerous btw, who never saw the first one, and the franchise will inevitably be less good than the one that should have remained the one and only, and it was a real masterpiece. The bad second one will have without any doubts a negative impact on the first one. That's why often sequels can be rly a bad idea, concerning some movies anyway, mostly to masterpieces like gladiator.
Some things cannot be unseen, unfortunately.
This will join Joker and Speed as the worst sequals ever
Who ever made the decision to put rap music in this should be making minimum wage.
They should be doing time with hard labour.
"I will never be your intrument" - proceeds to be his instrument.
..well, that saved a couple of bucks 😗
The same happened to The Conan saga. Conan The Barbarian was a cult movie with an outstanding soundtrack. Conan The Destroyer was a funny movie for the whole family!
"Unleash hell...!"
And out comes the CGI zombie monkeys.
Oh Ridley...what have you done?
Ridley answers: I've made lots and lots of money !
Ridley is just CASHING in !
Someone needs to stop this vindictive old man from egregiously trampling on history over and over again. It doesnt have to super accurate but this movie is an insult to the audience's intelligence. Its hard to immerse yourself in the period when literally every aspect of the movie is inaccurate. If you enjoy this slop fine but I and many others will judge you for your poor taste.
@@promark5317 I'm not disagreeing, but let's not forget its just a movie, not a documentary. For those who don't know the accurate history of the era - it's escapist pablum to chew popcorn with. I'm passing it by, tho. Loved the first one and don't want to ruin it with a lesser sequel.
@@SilentKnight43 I know man. Im wasnt saying that it needs to be 100% historical. But it at can at least be 70-80 percent historical. This movie is like 10% historical. I like the first Gladiator because its at least grounded in reality. I even like the directors cut of Kingdom of Heaven. But Napolean and now Gladiator 2 just went waaaay to far the point that it became comical and absurd. Its immersion breaking. Another example of a perfect balance of history and creative liberty was the movie 300.
The sequel was great! There's nothing like the original film but Ridley Scott did a great job once again with this film
Riding a rhino? Yeah, right. And where is Woopie Goldberg as the emperor's mother? This tripe makes 'Braveheart' look like a real-life documentary.
Denzel Washington as an Italian, and Harry Potter as the gladiator. I think I've slipped into another reality.
Referencing your "woke" comment about "black Roman soldiers," Rome had several Emperors from Africa. For example, Marcus Opelius Macrinus and Lucius Septimius Severus. Lucius was one of Rome's greatest emperors. He began as a senator (confirmed to the Senate by Emperor Marcus Aurelius). He was a general and a governor before becoming emperor. He was a warrior emperor, and died in Britain in 211CE waging military campaigns to subdue the Britons and Scots in what was then called Caledonia.He established the original boundary of Londinium (London). When emperor Commodus died (he's in the film), it was Lucius that became the next emperor!
Also, Rome was almost destroyed during the Punic wars by Carthage, an African city state. A Carthaginian army killed an estimated 70,000 Romans at the Battle of Cannae, 216BCE. And surely you've heard about Hannibal crossing the Alps (with elephants) to attack Rome from the north? Finally, Rome used African soldiers in its legions, especially African cavalry as shock troops! It's too bad this history is still unknown to most Americans. Google: Lucius Septimius Severus to see an image from Roman times of him, his wife Empress Julia Domna (born in modern day Syria). It's NOT "woke," it's untold history! So much of modern American politics is an illusion that has no basis in historical facts.
What's next? The Gladiator meet the Vampire? Gladiator vs space invaders? What about Gladiator teaming with Rambo defending America freedom and democracy?
...and will be staring 'Donald the Trump' to make movies great again !
Decidi ver gladiador en el cine sin saber nada de esa película, no habia publicidad previa a las películas, al verla sali del cine convencido que hice la mejor inversión de mi vida al comprar ese boleto, y hasta ka fecha la puedo ver sin dejar de emocionarme después de haberla visto mas de 50 veces. Es imposible que eso se pueda superar. Pero obviamente vere esta segunda parte, haber que emoción me puede generar.
"Hi my name is Ridley Scott and I LOVE making historical movies. But I also don't give a single flying fuck about authenticity or what even makes sense."
God I hate him more and more...
Next we'll have Vikingds fighting Samurai in the jungles of central africa with napalm-like explosions in the background..
Who cares? If the acting and movie is good, who cares if they are Italian or not. Densel passes the white test as well, he lives full time in Amalfi. As long as they don't blast Diddy in the movie theater we will survive.
@@ik6uf8xd3e I care. And many many others as well.
I'm a history buff and love seeing my passion put to screen. Actual history is as amazing and fascinating as anyone can imagine. It doesn't need to be bastardized just so there's more flashy lights to entertain your eyes.
Look at HBO's Rome as a reference. They stayed true to nature and put alot of effort in recreating the amcient world as it truely was. And it is fantastic.
It didn't need race-swapping, allegory or unrealistic stuff to make it entertaining..
I love Denzel Washington, great actor, but please not in a historical movie in ancient rome
As long as everyone feels represented it's all cool, yo. Relax you historical supremacist
@@ik6uf8xd3eare you BLM????? HOLLYWOOD IS WITHOUT A BLACK ACTOR NOT WELCOME ANYMORE ON THE AWARDS!!
Denzel and Pedro probably worth a watch
Forrest gump 2 is next 😂
Looks very promising.. Looking forward to going to the movies 🍿 🎥 to see it..
Part 1....2% CGI 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Part 2....50% CGI 🤮
Part 3....120% CGI 🙁
MOVIE OF THE YEAR! Ridley Scott created another classic.
Crossbows didn't exist at the time ...
WTF....
they did in sicily (they were called Gastraphetes)
Stirrups did not exist either
Sounds like they did not do there research ?
They were called Arcuballista
Can't wait to be Gladiated again like 24 years ago...🤘🤘
What are you doing Mr Scott?.
Money !
Scott: Make lots and lots of money !
bad
Mr Scotty go and make a movie of 'The Golden Calf' ! It's easy, simply base it on your own life !
Dam this still looks it’s going to bomb so hard. Some films don’t need to be made and this is one of them
Why not have another film about the days of the gladiators? WE dont really have many. The show Spartacus was amazing and so was the first gladiator.
@@RetroDad0 - Yes Two Classics !
OMG no ...... this does not look good at all....
Judgemental negative Nelly
dont watch it then, we dont care about you
Then don’t look
Why because the tables have turned 😂??
That's too negative. You haven't even seen it yet.
2000 -GLAD-IATOR
2024 - SAD-IATOR
Equalizer travel back in time 😂😂😂
pretty sure I saw that MF hit his stop watch after saying he was gonna make him his instrument.
Cant wait for Braveheart 2 : BraveHarder
Hip hop in a period film? ...no
This looks sick af!!! I need to see this!
It looks trash.
why? explain
@@user-bj5ys4wn3s why do people bash anything new that comes out lately, even if it looks pretty good?
without optimism we're all doomed
@@user-bj5ys4wn3s well... from my point of view - too many historical inaccuracies. Riding a rhino? Really? The first Gladiator wasn't documentary also, but it was pretty grounded. This looks like some Disney Marvel crap in ancient Rome.
@@user-bj5ys4wn3s Why ? - Watch the Original then you will know !
After watching this, I will stick with the original film, thanks.
The actors are great. Let's be real for one moment. There were no black people in power at all not one in or around the Roman empire. Not racist just fact. Why make a second one anyways the first was as good as it gets.
There was. Septimius severus, his two sons are in this film and they're depicted as white. The film is racist in not showing their true skin color. Romans weren't white as snow either. They was Mediterranean looking. The Germans conquered Rome in the ancient times and ever since, they just whitewash over these facts in every film about ancient Rome or Greece.
@@JBWozEre96 Septimius Severus was not "black," he was of Carthaginian/Italian ancestry. This is the same lazy and Afrocentric take that gives us a black Cleopatra simply because she lived on the African continent.
Like German catholics, white and washing roman sculptures
So is it a coincidence that Troy had a new version where Achilles is Tan?
@@douglasraphael149 Your making it racist instead of dealing in reality. The Romans were some of the if not the most racist people of their time. Please do not fall into these all inclusive movies. If you are talking abot Brad Pitt in Troy of course they wanted him with a tan. This woud bring more women to the box office but in the end he was still white. Denzel is one of my favorite actors but I would not put him in a role as George Washington. If you think after all these centuries that we are racist in 2024 then put yourself back when the Romans were in charge.
John Wick makes a brief appearance on a rhino with his optional twin crossbows taking out the roman mafia but he has to deal with Denzel the equilizer.
1:11 trebuchet ,,, they didnt have trebuchet’s in this time period 🤦🏼♂️
But they had trebuchet‘s in lord of the rings! 😏
This trailer is so long that is almost the entire movie.
I can hear it now..."King Ceaser Ain't Got Nuthin On Me".
why i read it as
King ceaser ain't Nutting on Me
@@AbhishekKumar-nc4jl 😃😂😂
next: gladiator x predator and gladiator x zombies...all hollyweed approved...
“We wuz Romans and shieeeet”
There is literally one black guy in the film... 😂
Buah, we wuz runnin this OST and shieeet too Buah!
Some trailers should never have a sequel
Why Ridley Why? surely you have enought money already.
GREED has NO Limit ! ! !
Behold Gladiator the temu version!
Should have left this alone he is no maximus 😮
Correct. He is his son with a different goal. My god ... THINK !
Maximus Stylistimus
It's the Transformers of Gladiator movies.
Hubo rinocerontes en el coliseo? sí, los hubo. Hubo rinocerontes con jinete? por supuesto que no!!! Ridley se queja de las películas de marvel y después nos hace ésto. Y después mete encima tiburones. Venga pon a Hulk también.
Isn't there an old Def Leppard video (Animal?) with a guy riding a Rhino? Never under-estimate circus people's abilities with animals, I still remember seeing a dude in a cage with Polar Bears balancing on boxes.
this movie screams "made by executives".
reminds me of that Kevin Smith story of him talking with a big Hollywood producer to make a Superman film
