Great movie. I was at the Coliseum when they screened it and the stars were there. So crowded did not see much, Walking around in Rome is surreal, every street i walked on i imagine Roman citizens going about their day just like we do everyday!
Love how Rome is depicted in the film and how it shows the different classes (especially lower class and homeless beggars) of the city. It’s like a whole sociology model.
I just finished watching the film. I gotta say....the negative reviews and the trailer fooled me. This movie is one of the best ones that came out in 2024. I thought it'd just be milking Gladiator 1's plot and Maximus but this movie stands fine as a standalone film. I could watch it again and be entertained once more (no pun intended 😉)
0:48 Love the inclusion of Romulus and Remus, Ridley Scott seems to like referencing this story in his works (like Raised by the Wolves, and Alien: Romulus which he produced)
When I first saw this movie I knew that I was going to have a blast when checking out Gladiator II since I do loved Ridley Scott's original classic, I don't really care what those critics are saying about the film they sure what the director gave us like I'm not sure all you didn't realize the Rhino fight was deleted scene from the original movie.
This was a good movie imo. The whole premise for why this movie even exist narratively wise is easy for me to get behind from a realistic angle. But overall I think Riddly’s objective was never to rival Glad 1 or have a main character who would equally rival Maximus. I think he only had 3 objectives for this film: Make it canon Maximus’s bloodline didn’t end with him. Have Lucius become (implied) emperor in the end. Make the Dream of Rome” better solidified as achieved in this movie.
"It's not Russel Crowe". "It'll never stand up to the first one". I'll never take advice from people who are paid to be critical, or are to pigheaded to see the value in something new. Movies were made to be entertaining. So what if the special effects in one scene were too cheesy. It's what the viewer sees when they watch it that matters.
BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR!!! Hands down, it totally eclipsed all the other releases we had this year, from dune to furiosa etc. Ridley is still the best out there!!!
Loved this film. Saw it twice in the theater and will be buying it digitally. I adored the first film and as a huge fan of Pedro Pascal, I planned to see this one no matter what. I didn't know if the sequel would be any good, but I personally felt it was a great continuation of the original story.
Denzel stole this movie, each and every scene he was in he had such a commanding Prescence and his Machiavellian like performance kept me engaged. Give Denzel his third Oscar!
The scene in the Colosseum, the sea water with sharks and the depth of the galley's draft,,,for stupidity, ugliness and horror,,,for that give him an Oscar for stupidity..
Just read about the myth of Romulus and Remus and the founding of Rome in 758 BC if you want to know about the wolf, about the twins, just search about Caracalla and Geta and their father, Septimius Severus.
People are missing the narrative here it’s following the first one through his son, I also recommend going back to watching the first one. There’s definitely some foreshadowing. In it that’s hint to a sequel
@@sonofdragon5530 I want to tell everyone about someone amazing. His name is Jesus. He loves us so much. First Corinthians 15:3-7 tells us that Jesus died on the cross for our sins, was buried, and on the third day rose from the dead. He did this so that we may be able to enter Heaven through him. All you have to do is put your faith and trust in him, accept him as Lord and savior, and follow him. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only begotten son that whosever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life” God is so good. Jesus is coming very soon. There have been signs of him coming. “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.’’ Matthew 24:7. There are earthquakes, floods, wars, rumors of wars, evil, and wickedness happening right now. These are the signs. Jesus will come any day, you don’t want to be left behind. The tribulation will be like nothing you have ever seen before, and it’s not good. I am warning you, get saved before it’s too late.

I will just repeat what the guy before me said: BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR hands down! Can't beat a genius director like Ridley, the critiques moved against this film are made by 15yo tiktokers and fortnite players, embarrassing! This IS Cinema, this IS a Film!
it’s a pity the twin Emperors didn’t get enough screen time to truly shine, or do anything at all, really. they were the only interesting part of this movie.
@dawncrawford8640 na he's good. You mainline a movie like Training Day and I don't care if you decide to voice act a teletubby. I'm still gonna watch it just to see Denzel lol
Is the great foot by the coliseum meant to be the remnants of the colossus of Nero? Though it was actually still standing and made of bronze? No aedes of Venus and Roma there either
I thought the General was going to ask the crowd to join the American Revolution lol Part of his speech sounds similar to the speech the colonel Harry made in The Patriot movie
Hard to believe when watching Civil War movies like Gettysburg and Mel Gibson , The Patriot that the Ancient Romans were living better than all of History practically up to the early 1900's !!! Once Medicine , Electricity and Cleaner water arrived for Humanity, Then Humans passed the Roman . But up until that happened , Rome Dominated especially the Suffering during the Medieval Times !!!!!
But this sequel doesn't ruined anything, or at least I think it does not, the only weird thing is Maximus being Lucius's father, but, there were clues in the first movie, I think that shows Maximus wasn't the perfect human as some thing

We paint the statues with the blood and entrails of the victors. No…hold on…wait…We paint the statues with the blood and entrails of the vnquished. Really.
Actually, one of the phenomenons they stole from the Greeks was their amazing understanding of acoustics. The Greeks loved plays and had to meet the needs of large audiences. They mastered the theater so that large crowds could hear a spoken voice on the stage. Perhaps this arena is stretching it a bit, but it was a fact of the genius of the Greeks in acoustics. Something many modern auditoriums are sorely lacking in.
Russel crowe was is still the best .. thi filim is gatbage WHY IS DENZEL WASHINGTON is even here in this movie? It doesnt suite him.his rule here.. gladiator 1 russel crowe is still the Best ..
@swakyaby3339 the acting, the script are comical. The characters speak in clichés. As if you could keep sharks alive in the coloseum.. The film is a joke, but entertaining
@@MassiveLibyes you can keep sharks alive in that, the sharks you saw in the movie are actually half the size of normal sharks. The "acting" by who?! It literally got an Oscar nomination for that category and another 65+ awards 😂. What on earth do you even mean by "how can anyone take this seriously?!" It's a movie dude, it's an epic production, this gotta be the most useless comment i have read this month, wtf?!! Hahah
Where did they find the lead actor... Starbucks??? This has to be the worst acting in any blockbuster movie I have ever seen. Felt as if Denzel was incredibly miscast and seemed very bored throughout the movie. The weird emperors are not only historically inaccurate but also a disgrace to modern acting. Pascal has by far the strongest screen presence in this movie and the only one who should be talking period but they pretty much cut him out of most of the movie probably because everyone was acting so poorly and unbelievable he was making them look bad. Also the CGI team should have criminal charges brought up against them for what they did.
Crowe was simply brilliant in the first film. He had such a presence and great acting. You could feel his sadness and rage toward the world.
Great movie. I was at the Coliseum when they screened it and the stars were there. So crowded did not see much, Walking around in Rome is surreal, every street i walked on i imagine Roman citizens going about their day just like we do everyday!
The most epic film of the year 2024. It deserves to be crown with lots of Oscars. I am looking forward to watch the next one Gladiator III.
Can't get better than 1st. Number 2. Was very good.
Love how Rome is depicted in the film and how it shows the different classes (especially lower class and homeless beggars) of the city. It’s like a whole sociology model.
They did that in Gladiator 1 though...
The HBO series Rome is great also!!
I. Enjoyed it! Didn’t compare it to the first one! It’s good in its own way!

2.5 absolute trash
@ nah ur wrong about that one
Great to watch on the big screen Better sets than Gladiator 1 Denzel brilliant in his role
It looked just fine on my TV. If it weren't for my back issues, I'd check it out in a theater.
I don’t care what people say, watching this movie in cinemas was a great experience, the movie entertains it’s not a history lesson.
"Its not history lesson" most lame "argument" about historical movie.

Ridley Scott has lost his mind
The lead doesn't captivate with presence, unpredictability, and voice as Crowe did. I will still purchase the movie for a full review.
I thought the lead was weak. He seems a bit wet. Sorry Paul!

Gladiator III. Tell us about that wolf, the Twins and Lucilla in between. The story is intriguing leaving us wanting more.
Just read about the myth of Romulus and Remus and the founding of Rome in 758 BC if you want to know about the wolf, about the twins, just search about Caracalla and Geta and their father, Septimius Severus.

The American reconstruction of ancient Rome is ridiculous, I expected that Captain America would surprise the gladiator :-))
You talking like you can do any better 😂
Same story as first one.waste of time & money to remake.Russel Crowe the Gladiator 😅❤
So the guys in the cage aren't stinking already? 😂
I think Lucius is more ruthless than Maximus was. He fights without any discipline and more berserk.
No hay referencias de rinocerontes montados y domesticados; aunque eran conocidos y usados en el Coliseo.
I really hope we get a prequel of the twins. They were such interesting characters. Those actors did a phenomenal job playing crazy emperors. 😭

*the vanquished. That word is difficult for me because I didn’t spell it correctly earlier.
Tyranozaurus rex😂
Mescal was a bad choice to play Lucius. He had no charisma and had a stone face in all the movie.
Not as the original one
He was in coronation Street.
Is it hard to act? Someone rolls their eyes or stare hard or something and raise their head and lower the voice while they repeat the script slowly.
Wokeism didn't strike this movie for not being historically accurate, gladiators fought naked , snowflakes be slacking 😅
*Love this movie. I'm glad they showed European White people & Arab desert dwellers people are not and have never been indigenous to NORTH AFRICA!!*🎉

Movie was a mixed bag in my opinion. But even in a load of mess, one may find a gold coin and that was the production design.
