Loved it! Loved Denzel and Connie' acting.
A very UNworthy sequel to one of the greatest movies ever. This movie is constantly trying to recapture the magic of the first Gladiator and always failing. The actor playing the lead is not in Russell Crowe's league. There is far too much gratuitous bloodletting and gore. There is more battle action and crazier arena fights than in Glad I, but it seems to be more just an attempt to make up for a somewhat chaotic and contrived storyline. It simply lacks the visceral power and beautiful simplicity of the original.
Great plot and very well acted. So disappointed to see all the fake reviews. I almost let them sway me but glad I went with the few that were evidently based on fact. I saw the original and this was a well done sequel that stood on its own.
This was one of the best movies i’ve seen all year, as a huge gladiator 1 fan this did not fall short of the original!! i definitely recommend!!
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.
