In Gladiator they had trapdoors, yet in Gladiator 2 they show a naval battle. Naval battles happened BEFORE trapdoors in the Colosseum. As soon as they dug tunnels under the arena, they could no longer have naval battles.
If Denzel Washington is playing Macrinus, then having Caracalla there makes sense historically. I saw the original at the cinema, this, probably wait for the streaming release.
The long shot of the goofy jog halfway through the trailer lost me even before the anachronistic music kicked in. Really the whole takeaway of the trailer is anachronistic, suspending disbelief that the story of Gladiator wasn’t perfectly self contained 25 years ago, I look forward to watching the clip of the naval battle on TH-cam whatever else!
This will be an insult to that classic filim, I am surprised Great director Ridley Scott is that dump to make this filim. The casting is also waste, Denzel Washington has no business in a classic movie with uncultured American accent. This will be a huge flop, - Mark my words the viewers will ask why Ridley why..after this filim...

I truly hope that this new Gladiator movie is good. I loved the first one. Thanks for the great reviews Neil!
I hope so too! I'm so tired of rinse and repeat sequels - especially when it comes to great films.

Given enough sequels, they'll be replacing swords with lightsabers.
The first was a film, it was not historical. The second will be the same.
The original is always the best in all films
Trailer looks like a third rate rip off off the original.
Why you don't wearing prorated clothes
This Gladiator 2 is Joke! Sucks rap Background music!
