Far short of the original
Entertaining, never boring. Great movie full of action and good story line
I was surprised how masterful they did this as I was sure it would be a huge disappointment after the first one. BOY- was I wrong. In it's own merit was far better than the first one and wonderful acting.
Not worth your time. Very disappointing.
This sequel didn't have the emotion of Gladiator I. 1st half hour was fairly boring, then it picked up with some good action acenes. The studio should ring the cash register with all the hype of the trailer &, as a few suspect, phony reviews. The follow up plot moved quickly towards the end. When it shows up on regular TV, I probably won't bother watching it, whereas I repeated viewing Glad I over 10 times. Some excitement, cast of thousands, not a classic overall.
Great action flick that is worth seeing on the big screen.
A little slow at times but still a great film
Hated it.
Its a sequel, not usually a fan. This one does have fantastic casting. Stays in sequence from the original. It doesn't have really any filler scenes and considering its length that's surprising. Denzel of course always great.
Please believe all reviews after the fake, fake industry hack. I groaned during the opening credits. Gone are the large, vista, wide angled shots, only to be replaced, with penny pinching, TV, tight three colour drab. Oh, and poor Denzel, working that toga, like a heavy hotel bath robe, clutching it , pulling the sleeves up, like the first time he put it on, like a oscar winner, walking those stairs in dress that was wearing them. I can go on, wait for Christmas Netflix, we all have rent to pay.
