    We can go easy on Ridley Scott for being 86 but at the same time, Clint Eastwood has been writing and directing Oscar winners and he’s 200 years old. Simply put its ANOTHER movie that never needed to be made.

    My dad loves Gladiator 1, and he watches it at least twice a month? When we went to see Gladiator 2, I asked him, "How was it?" He replied, "It was okay." I then asked. "Would you watch it again or as much?" And he swiftly replied with... "No." Which says a lot about modern Hollywood.

    Part of what made the original work so well was that it was a great presentation of the chief virtues of Stoicism. We see Maximus go from an ideal soldier who wants nothing more than to go home to his family to a broken man on a search for vengeance and then returning to a man of virtue as he puts aside his desire for selfish vengeance in persuit of justice. The bittersweetness of the ending was that he did finally get to return to his family again after his service to Rome was done, but he could only do so in death.

      Guy from two successful TV shows is now everywhere, hes fine, but there are so many other great actors from former TV shows that are not getting nearly enough recognition, while their co-stars are in everything. Jon Hamm, nowhere, Elizabeth Moss, everywhere. I think the criteria has to be that they have to be in two major TV hits, and have to be either woke AF (Pascal) or a scientologist (Moss).

    You mentioned the unnecessary animated remakes of older movies, but what about the unnecessary live-action remakes of older animated movies? Why the hell did they make a live-action, shot-for-shot remake of "How To Train Your Dragon"?! The original is a classic for kids (and some adults) of that era. So like with "The Lion King", "The Jungle Book", and "The Little Mermaid", they apparently felt the need to milk the IP for a little more dough. Not by making something creative that complements the original, but by recreating the original in a different format

      Jurassic Park CGI was and is spectacular. Its used somewhat remotely though, actually. And practical effects its ALWAYS better in my opinion.
      It solidifies whats happening on the screen, it makes it more grounded yet at the same time more impressive.
      CGI get rids of all the obstacles and many of the "if buts and should we really?", it removes true old school craftmanship.

But I expected some sort of similar artifacts on my JP Blu-Ray and nope, it's perfect.

    Nah, they didn't fill the Colosseum with water, not during those times. The original design could have been flooded, but by Domitian's reign the entire substructure was added and there's no way to waterproof all that; moving platforms, lifts, tunnels, trapdoors, gates. Sea battles would have been held in a Naumachia specially designed to host those. Trajan's Naumachia probably, right about where Vatican City is these days.. although I suppose Circus Flaminius would work too, it could be flooded, it'd be closer, and should still have been in operation during that time (a bit outside my are of expertise).
