Gladiator was a movie that NEVER needed a sequel and was not supposed to have a sequel.

its always a bad music choice, in every trailer these days, some classic rock song, or an upbeat 80s song sung in a quiet acapella. Its all just so bad.
Denzel's character just feels like a new Proximo. If that's the case, they should have just cast Djimon Hounsou. The character arc of him being a slave and gladiator to winning his freedom and now becoming a merchant/trader looking to overthrow the entire system could have been the heart of the story. It would also mirror Proximo's own story.
Cool concept, and Denzel is the new Promixo… however that would’ve been out of character for Juba (Djimon Hounsou) had he been cast. After winning his freedom I doubt he would’ve followed in Proximo’s steps. Specially subjecting countless slaves to horrible deaths for a slight chance to overthrow the empire. I think Denzel’s character is just an opportunist who finds a chance to gain everything.
I'm pissed that I did not think about that.. I thought that Juba goes home and finds his family wiped out and becomes Denzel's character, but you are absolutely correct that under no circumstance would he become a slave master.. It needs Denzel.. @@MrAvila-fq5yt

@@elephantgrass631 Are you serious? The first Gladiator movie had Kid Rock’s music in the trailer. The ad ran during the Super Bowl and had no music related to the time period. Nobody cared then, why do they care now? I can guess…
I think the original plot for Gladiator 2 involved Russell Crowe making a deal in the afterlife to come back to life provided he engaged in combat one more time. I think that plot probably was more plausible than adding in the rap music.
It's insane, the main actors alone are unbelievably expensive already and someone was like "yeah it's ancient rome, lets get some rap in there so it's buzzin fr fr no cap". Whoever paid for that should take a deep look in the mirror, because that was not a smart investment and it's not gonna pay off, at least I hope so.
@@siguy715 Seriously jesus goddamn ducking christ (you can't even swear on youtube anymore hence the ducking) Your comment is what the person who put this song in this trailer ACTUALLY THOUGHT. "I think it fits, it says colisseum"
I love rap and hip-hop as much as the next but this trailer deserves epic music (Drums, Horns, Choir, etc.). To be honest, it was a little offputting. I hope they don't include that in the movie.
They rebuilt the coliseum from the first film in Malta. It's basically the same setup in the same location with the same director as the first film. The biggest structural change that I see is that the director Ridley Scott is now the coproducer as well.
Because that's how the world works now. Boycott everything that doesn't come directly from a filmmaker busting a gut to bring their own vision into the world (ironically Ridley in the 70-80s)
Thought this was a joke. The original Gladiator was criticised for historical inaccuracy because an extra accidentally forgot to take off his wrist watch... In this universe Denzel exists... 😂
Whoever chose that song and then cut in that modern day Denzel "my dog" laugh. What the fuck were you thinking? Or maybe you were trying to warn us. I was actually taking in the trailer as I would any shitty movie trailer, but that moment made me have to pause and comment.
"You know what would go great with the trailer about Roman gladiator battling in the colosseum? Rap music!! Yes....definitely rap music, like every single other trailer music of every single other movie of the past 5 years" "Wow....that's an awesome idea! Let's do it! It fits perfectly with the theme and makes total sense" That's basically how the conversation went btw.
@@kjr4946 Because these things aren't meaningless. This song was picked out by the movie's team, it was their first chance to reveal to the public their work and they made that kind of a mistake. Makes you think these sorts of "mistakes" will be rampant in the movie as well, and yes I know the director didn't pick out this song, but its still the team which OKed it.
The reason the first movie was so impactful, was the fact that you could actually get lost in that world and truly believe you we’re looking into that prehistoric world. In between Denzel’s American a$$ accent and the sounds track you’ll be reminded very quickly your just watching a movie that’s attempting to have “tone” to it
I have no idea what you are smoking the original was in no way historically accurate or authentic. It was entertaining. Also the Roman Empire did not occur in prehistory obviously 😂
The original Gladiator was not totally historical - it was an Americanised fantasy world of Rome, don’t take it as gospel - the sequel appears to be another fantasy at the least but there are some aspects that already look more accurate and authentic, eg: The flooded arena floor to simulate naval battles Also, ancient history is NOT prehistory - prehistory specifically refers to a time period where we have no written records or evidence of writing - only the Regal Period of Rome fits this criteria
Django had rap in the film Marie Antoinette had post punk 80’s. It worked better than this though. This is every other similar rap Kanye west style song you hear. That’s why it’s bad.
I actually didn't think this was real. I thought this was just a poorly assembled fan made video... So, to be sure, I google searched it. "Gladiator 2." "An upcoming historical film..." And oh my God, there it was. This really is an actual movie in the makes. 😂The music choices, Denzel's character speaking/laughing like Frank Lucas in American Gangster, the soundtrack at 2:00... things just don't fit. I like Denzel, but this seemed like a waste of a casting by him. They did him dirty. Hollywood and their exorbitant budgets. Producing films that end up flopping. It's why I usually prefer indie films and certain fan made stuff. That editing/transition at 0:43 was funny though.
Not used to seeing a Black Man Laughing in Ancient Times huh?.. 😂… this is nothing.. wait until you see Denzel in the “Hannibal Barca” movie coming out soon. Will make this film feel like an appetizer.
Please fire the person in charge of choosing soundtracks. Thank you.

@@elephantgrass631 Are you serious? The first Gladiator movie had Kid Rock’s music in the trailer. The ad ran during the Super Bowl and had no music related to the time period. Nobody cared then, why do they care now? I can guess…
@@cbreeze864 nope, that’s made up. Ever see the movie Wag the Dog? Old Shoe.
I think the original plot for Gladiator 2 involved Russell Crowe making a deal in the afterlife to come back to life provided he engaged in combat one more time. I think that plot probably was more plausible than adding in the rap music.
Cant wait to see how Hollywood ruins this one....
Acting like it isn't Hollywood who made the first
@@devil5adv0ca8 Yea I'm well aware...
You just saw it my guy.....
You didn't hear the music?
@@devil5adv0ca8 Do you know what "going dowhill" means? it's been happening for a while now, maybe crawl out from under your rock
Who on earth decided a rap track was the way forward with this?????
It's insane, the main actors alone are unbelievably expensive already and someone was like "yeah it's ancient rome, lets get some rap in there so it's buzzin fr fr no cap". Whoever paid for that should take a deep look in the mirror, because that was not a smart investment and it's not gonna pay off, at least I hope so.
Looks like RidS got the SFx budget for that Rhino fight he wanted in the first one.
jesus christ why the hell is there rap music 💀
Ye the best
because my son, sometimes evil befalls good men. To teach you how not to be by example.
It's insane how someone is willing to pay millions for producing this pile of shit and actually greenlights this trailer
No way they used that song 💀
But the lyrics say coliseum 😆
I hope not!
Probably just for the trailer cos apparently you can't get the attention of kids these days without rap or hip hop music.
@@siguy715 Seriously jesus goddamn ducking christ (you can't even swear on youtube anymore hence the ducking) Your comment is what the person who put this song in this trailer ACTUALLY THOUGHT. "I think it fits, it says colisseum"
come on man, they loved hip hop back in those days.

Rap and Gladiator does not go together smoothly 😂
Entitled to your opinion but I disagree
Rap played during this trailer for a sequel to an all-time epic just does not fit well at all. Looks good, though.
It doesn't tho, look good. Let's hope so I'm wrong.
Seem like Pedro Pascal haven't learn his lesson of wearing a helmet into a fight 😅
When they do stuff like this they reinterpret the story so it can take place in modern day.

Change the music immediately
Nope
Clips from this movie can be used later on in a documentary as an add on to one produced in 1940 …..
I love rap and hip-hop as much as the next but this trailer deserves epic music (Drums, Horns, Choir, etc.). To be honest, it was a little offputting. I hope they don't include that in the movie.
If they do, then they'd better do a Kung Fu Panda 4 and adapt it into the score.
ok, this trailer makes more sense, the first one was like WTF, now we know there was a mix up
Soundtracks should be like from Gladiator 1 We are free not a rap song
Looks like it was made entirely in front of a green screen 😂
300million dollar cgi flick
They rebuilt the coliseum from the first film in Malta. It's basically the same setup in the same location with the same director as the first film. The biggest structural change that I see is that the director Ridley Scott is now the coproducer as well.
Why do they have to put fucking rap music in everything?
Why do they have to put Black People in everything???
Tell me about it. Rap has a place and that place is not in a historic movie trailer.
@@lawrencefrost9063rap has no place
Gladiator 2: The Day Before Training Day
I'm expecting the popcorn to be better than the movie itself
This is not an April fool's joke
Why does this feel fan made
😆
The music
Because that's how the world works now. Boycott everything that doesn't come directly from a filmmaker busting a gut to bring their own vision into the world (ironically Ridley in the 70-80s)
It shouldn't have been made at all. The story was told and they should have left it alone.
Definitely the music
Thought this was a joke. The original Gladiator was criticised for historical inaccuracy because an extra accidentally forgot to take off his wrist watch... In this universe Denzel exists... 😂
And then Denzel said,
"Myyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Nygahhhhhhhh!!!!
Really? This needed a sequel?
I hope they make another trailer with a better music choice.
Why is everyone complaing about this banger? It fits pretty well lmao
If Denzel is in the movie, it has to be great. He read the entire strip and chose to do the movie
Whoever chose that song and then cut in that modern day Denzel "my dog" laugh. What the fuck were you thinking? Or maybe you were trying to warn us.
I was actually taking in the trailer as I would any shitty movie trailer, but that moment made me have to pause and comment.
Training Day II: Taking Rome 🎱🩳
"You know what would go great with the trailer about Roman gladiator battling in the colosseum? Rap music!! Yes....definitely rap music, like every single other trailer music of every single other movie of the past 5 years"
"Wow....that's an awesome idea! Let's do it! It fits perfectly with the theme and makes total sense"
That's basically how the conversation went btw.
Rap fucking sucks. I hate they have to put it in everything. Barf.
how do these movies even qualify to be called live action? when its 90% animated.
"Hey guys, what song could we pick that would anger people the most?" 😂😂😂
I'm so confused. I understand thinking it doesn't fit, but so many people are getting very very upset over a song choice. Why does it matter?
@@kjr4946 Because these things aren't meaningless. This song was picked out by the movie's team, it was their first chance to reveal to the public their work and they made that kind of a mistake. Makes you think these sorts of "mistakes" will be rampant in the movie as well, and yes I know the director didn't pick out this song, but its still the team which OKed it.
The reason the first movie was so impactful, was the fact that you could actually get lost in that world and truly believe you we’re looking into that prehistoric world. In between Denzel’s American a$$ accent and the sounds track you’ll be reminded very quickly your just watching a movie that’s attempting to have “tone” to it
Lol a more accurate depiction of antiquity.love the trailer
I have no idea what you are smoking the original was in no way historically accurate or authentic. It was entertaining. Also the Roman Empire did not occur in prehistory obviously 😂
@@wolfror1 dude went straight back to the stone age XD
I know Denzel is the worst.
The original Gladiator was not totally historical - it was an Americanised fantasy world of Rome, don’t take it as gospel - the sequel appears to be another fantasy at the least but there are some aspects that already look more accurate and authentic, eg: The flooded arena floor to simulate naval battles
Also, ancient history is NOT prehistory - prehistory specifically refers to a time period where we have no written records or evidence of writing - only the Regal Period of Rome fits this criteria
The 1st Gladiator is a bigggg shoe to fill
I think I just watched the whole movie in the trailer LOL
You cant go wrong with a hanz zimmer..... but you sure can with kanye and jay z
Because as we all well know...Rap Music was all the rage back in the Coliseum days (christ on a bike what were the Trailer makers thinking?!?!?).
Neither was classical music
@@parwizbashir6797Facts 😂
They were thinking about trying to appeal to a younger crowd I'm guessing, but yeah, pretty bad.
Django had rap in the film
Marie Antoinette had post punk 80’s.
It worked better than this though. This is every other similar rap Kanye west style song you hear. That’s why it’s bad.
It doesn't suit the film at all, everyone's saying it lol terrible song choice
I actually didn't think this was real. I thought this was just a poorly assembled fan made video... So, to be sure, I google searched it. "Gladiator 2." "An upcoming historical film..." And oh my God, there it was. This really is an actual movie in the makes. 😂The music choices, Denzel's character speaking/laughing like Frank Lucas in American Gangster, the soundtrack at 2:00... things just don't fit. I like Denzel, but this seemed like a waste of a casting by him. They did him dirty. Hollywood and their exorbitant budgets. Producing films that end up flopping. It's why I usually prefer indie films and certain fan made stuff. That editing/transition at 0:43 was funny though.
Denzel is fine. The music just ruins it
@@hdizzy2497 Denzel stinks. It's hard to find a more overrated actor.
Not used to seeing a Black Man Laughing in Ancient Times huh?.. 😂… this is nothing.. wait until you see Denzel in the “Hannibal Barca” movie coming out soon. Will make this film feel like an appetizer.
@Frank Lucas😂😂😂😂
@@markdaniels3499Denzel as Hannibal???? I just googled it and holy shit I’m excited. He’s gonna kill it in this movie too.
I was so excited to watch the trailer but I honestly feel like I just watched the whole movie. 😢
Didn’t even make it to the end, what a complete load of pish and this could so easily have been magnificent.
It's a trailer. Calm Down
Is this an out of season april fools joke? Looks like every modern movie.
