I saw Gladiator in the theatre at 10 years old and it changed my life. I have some trepidation about this sequel because of Napoleon being such a letdown, but I’m very excited. So much nostalgia. And yes! I remember Gladiator being one of our first dvds, but I think we had the vhs as well.
I'll check it out, but I really thought they'd eventually come up with a better title than Gladiator II. Ridley Scott is clearly planning to never die. He's going to keep directing until he falls over in his chair.
I was VERY surprised with this trailer. Looks INSANE in the best ways! Nobody needs to compare any movie/character to Crowe or Phenix's from the original. Kinda like nobody should have compared Gylenhall to Swayze in roadhouse as an example.
@@thedxbrotherXIII that's not the point and I agree but it's the most streamed movie ever on prime so they did something right and it wasn't a bad movie. Those that hated it are in the minority
@EdgeyGfx Wasn't a bad movie on its own, but it should have had a original title. I didn't hate but felt it was very much a soulless Hollywood remake for a quick buck.
@@thedxbrotherXIII def should have had a different title ("Roadhouse:____"). They a lot of great fight scenes in there and it made a lot of $$$ so soulless and quick buck don't make sense. Wasn't a quick or easy movie to make. They didn't go the cheap way either. Outperformed every movie they've had. We all have diff opinions tho but I agree on diff title and have its own thing
This is the second movie that has Denzel Washington in it that used the track "No Church In The Wild" in the trailer. I wonder if the people making this trailer even realized that. Anyway, can you guess what the first one was? :-)
@@WeWatchedAMovie Nice! Did you know that off the top of your head or did you go watch every single Denzel Washington trailer from the past 15 years to find out? lol!
I don't like it either but I think there is a method to it. They know that fans of the original are going to go see it regardless. So they aim the trailer at potential new fans. Use stylish editing and "cool" music that "cool" youth listen to in order to catch their attention.
In this particular trailer it makes sense. The song of choice is called No Church In The Wild” the idea of Rome and the colosseum being this big immortal place and the protagonist doesn’t see it as such. Hence the lyrics Human beings in a mob What's a mob to a king? What's a king to a God? What's a God to a non-believer Who don't believe in anything? It’s more-so a song of challenging the status of things.
Not exactly about the main trailer itself, but I LOVE (hate) when trailers have an intro to the trailer saying the trailer is now starting. As for the trailer itself though, it doesn't look like the most interesting movie ever, but also it doesn't look like I'd hate it. I'm not a fan of the music in the trailer either though, seems too modern. But other than that I'd still definitely watch it. HATED cinderella man, but I liked Paul Mescal here
He's actually playing a guy who schemed his way to becoming emperor. Macrinus. So, yeah, depending on how this movie goes, we could see EMPEROR DENZEL.
The rhino is your ONLY complaint and not the unnecessary hip hop music??? Dude, come on lol Not to mention, Gladiator is a movie that doesnt NEED a sequel. The only reason the first film is considered so highly is because of EVERYTHING in it, especially, Russell Fucking Crowe! THAT is what made Gladiator. This sequel is a poor cash grab that costed...$310 Million to make.
not really a cash grab if the director wanted to make it plus the song makes sense because the theme of the song perfectly fits the film plus they used kid rock in a trailer for the first gladiator
Please watch some of Paul Mecal's work. He is one of the greatest young actors around. He won a BAFTA for Normal People. Then he was nominated for the Best Actor Oscar in Aftersun. Then he won the prestigious Olivier award playing Brando's character Stanley Kowalski in the stage production of A Steetcar Named Desire. Kowalski is the role that put Brando on the map. I first saw Mescal in Maggie Gyllenhaal's The Lost Daughter, holding his own playinig opposite Olivia Colman. It's quite a small role, but he leapt off the screen with a natural sincerity. He was also lauded in last year's All of Us Strangers. He is truly an immense talent.
Me as a black man I find it hilarious the people saying bad take are probably white knights just go away we can’t stand you 😂 Denzel is being Denzel which I love it’s funny. Get over yourself I don’t need you fighting for me thank you!
Looks pretty tit tacular if i do say so myself my one complaint is the choice if song. Its a immersion break for me. The Original has truly legendary music.
I don't like the music for this, but the film looks good, so I will give it a chance. If it's bad, that's fair enough, bash it, but I'm sick of people gatekeeping past films. Can you imagine if they went to make Empire Strikes Back today? "The first one was perfect; what a cash grab; why bother" I don't see it matching the first one; a lot of classics come out with the right cast and, at the right time, a bit of magic, but I will gladly settle for "A good" film.
The music to the trailer sucked obviously they do that with every fucking trailer now it’s always rap music. It gets fucking old and I love hip-hop. But the movie looks great ridley Scott’s been on a three or four movie slump. The Martian was his last awesome movie. He’s due up. Do I think they waited too long probably do I think this movie is gonna be good fuck yeah is it gonna be as good as the first one probably not is it gonna diminish the legacy of the first one probably not I think this is gonna be a solid seven out of 10 movie.
I would agree with that comment like how is that song fit for what they're going for in this movie whatsoever? so let's not play dumb and or let's get educated about how the last few years studios have an obvious agenda and obsession with race that's just the hard truth whether you like it or not now with that said obviously they're not going to play that in movie or at least I would hope so but knowing Hollywood these days I wouldn't put it past em and I hope Denzel doesn't act simply like Denzel like he has in almost every film he's done the last few years lol
I LOVE Gladiator, it’s one of my all time favorites & I LOVE Denzel but…everything in this trailer just felt kinda “off” to me. That song choice seems to me like a bad omen of things to come with this film but, hope I’m wrong 🤷🏻♀️ Thanks for the video Mike, see you Friday! ♥️
I was in the camp of "Do we really need a sequel to GLADIATOR?". But after this trailer, it looks amazing. And apparently people forget that the trailer to the original movie, had Kid Rock's BAWITDABA in it, so they whine about the rap music in this one. I also love the fact, that the Rhino fight that was intended for the first one, is being used in this one.
Im 60/40 on it right now. It looks good but also the original didnt need a sequel. But i get there are some good actors and i get visually it looks good. Honestly not sure yet. But i will give it a chance. Im cautiously optimistic 😌
Odd musical choice for the trailer, with the snippets of a hip hop song. You’d think they’d go with something less contemporary, to match the visual aesthetic.
Still havent seen the first one in its entirety.... And with this heat, people are gonna be smelling your trash build up from 2 blocks away for the next week
Music was hot garbage. The Pedro Pascal push is getting a little old now. 24 years between sequels just sounds like a red flag at this point. Hope I'm wrong, but my faith in Hollyweird has been damaged quite a bit.
I’m a total whore for Pedro Pascal but I’m still genuinely shocked at how awesome this actually looks. Super weird casting Eddie Munson as a foppy ass ginger emperor though. Hell I’ll still be there! It just looks like solid, big budget entertainment…kind of like what we had in the 90s.
I can’t wait to this film!!! I’ve looking forward to it as a big Gladiator fan. I really hope this is a shift for commercial cinema when it comes to comes actors breaking out into big mainstream movies like they did in the 90’s and 00’s, like I hope after this we see Paul Mescal in consistent blockbuster films like back in the day. The industry definitely needs to go back to that formula and needs to usher in new directors that cater to the theatrical experience. Denzel was giving his performance from Training Day, he did that creepy disturbing laugh with greeting you like he’s your friend, but you are scared shitless because you know he isn’t, like he’s very unhinged. It’s great!!! I’m psyched!!!! “Ice, sometimes it makes the blade stick” is my favorite line from Gladiator!!!! LONG LIVE MAXIMUS!!!!! 🙌🔥🙌🔥🙌🔥
Um, is the bad guy, "Eddie" from Stranger Things Season 4?!.. good for him!!! Yeah, I think this movie is gonna be entertaining!! Thanks for the post, I didn't even know this movie was coming out, and I, too, remember watching and rewatching Gladiator. It's such a great movie!!
Just say you don’t like the genre and call it a day. What’s a “generic Roman” movie? What “new age Roman” story are you looking for? 😂 Just say you don’t like the genre
ya right lol rap soundtrack & humor would Mach with this kinda of movie...whatever ..gonna go back watching my House of the dragon, 5 minutes of it worth entire this trash
Hopefully the shitty trailer music choice isn't actually IN the movie. Garbage tier rap for this feels like a slap in the face to the iconic Zimmer / Gerrard music for the first one. Love me some Denzel but he's just playing ... himself?
Cut back on the drugs if u think this dumpster fire looks good. The only aspect I thought would be ok was Denzel but he's phoning in a Training Day performance. This turd cost over 300 million and will be lucky to make that in total gross meaning it will lose hundreds of millions. Completely lacking in any ingenuity from the title on.
@@WeWatchedAMovie hope it's great for u and all the Gladiator fans awaiting this sequel over 30 years. I've got too many horror movies to see for the rest of the year to see this dreck.
This is now my most anticipated movie this year this looks amazing. I was worried since the first is one of my fav movies of all time, but I have faith in this. The new castings amazing, and I love that they kept some of the characters from the first.

This trailer has me pumped
NGL, didn’t think this was a necessary movie when I first heard it was being made…
I now think, this may be necessary😂😂
My exact sentiment!
That fucking music made the trailer look like one of the fake trailers at the beginning of “Tropic Thunder.”
Two words: Pedro Pascal. I'm there.
He dies in movie haha

This is the second movie that has Denzel Washington in it that used the track "No Church In The Wild" in the trailer. I wonder if the people making this trailer even realized that.
Anyway, can you guess what the first one was? :-)
Safe House w Ryan Reynolds! I just impressed myself
@@WeWatchedAMovie Nice! Did you know that off the top of your head or did you go watch every single Denzel Washington trailer from the past 15 years to find out? lol!
Ahhh thanks I hadn't had a chance to check what song
I only saw safe house once but I did remember that 😆 that was back when the song was pretty new too.
And half the drama trailers from the early-mid 2000s used the same track from the Requiem for a Dream score.
You know what you should bring back the Michael Myers and dr loomis videos I loved those nice video bye the way ❤
Music ruined some of it for me but the battle scenes look great
This reminds me of when they followed up 300 with Rise of an Empire lol.
And that makes you laugh out loud why, exactly?
This shit comes out on my birthday I’m so fuckin hype !
I wonder if Pedro Pascal will lose one or both eyes again before his death scene.
Ridley Scott said “…fuck it….lets go crazy!!”
SHARKS WITH FRICKING LAZER BEAMS ATTACHED TO THEIR HEADS?!?!?
The rap song in the trailer is a choice
Too many trailers use weird song choices
I don't like it either but I think there is a method to it. They know that fans of the original are going to go see it regardless. So they aim the trailer at potential new fans. Use stylish editing and "cool" music that "cool" youth listen to in order to catch their attention.
Terrible choice
In this particular trailer it makes sense. The song of choice is called No Church In The Wild” the idea of Rome and the colosseum being this big immortal place and the protagonist doesn’t see it as such.
Hence the lyrics
Human beings in a mob
What's a mob to a king?
What's a king to a God?
What's a God to a non-believer
Who don't believe in anything?
It’s more-so a song of challenging the status of things.
Paul Mescal pronounced Messkel is an Irish actor. He's been in efff all so far but show the Irish some respect bro 😂
Not exactly about the main trailer itself, but I LOVE (hate) when trailers have an intro to the trailer saying the trailer is now starting.

I'm calling it now, Denzel is playing a modern day version of Cleopatra.
He's actually playing a guy who schemed his way to becoming emperor.
Macrinus.
So, yeah, depending on how this movie goes, we could see EMPEROR DENZEL.
Im surprised they’re literally just calling it Gladiator 2
Mikes my dad!!!!.
Amazing movie trailer
That one dude screaming like an idiot 🤣
Hey Mike, You are absolutely right about that girl from STEPBROTHERS,. I've been wanting to part'er in the farter for years.🤣
Rap music was not a good fit for this trailer
Mainly because rap music sucks balls

Paul Mescal was brilliant in Aftersun. You should watch it. He really does an amazing job. I’m looking forward to Gladiator 2 now.
Looks great, but man that song choice sucks beyond all sucking!!
Glad to see I'm not the only one who thought so lol
But no Djimon Hounsou 😟
he just did some shots like 2months ago for it. He just not in this trailer.
Looks pretty tit tacular if i do say so myself my one complaint is the choice if song. Its a immersion break for me.
The Original has truly legendary music.
Totally agree! Love that channel member icon!
It’s a trailer. What “immersion” is there for something you know is going to be over in 2 minutes?
One thing I'll give this is it FEELS like a big, grand, and most importantly EPIC movie. Just like the first
It does! Doesn't feel like there's a slip in quality at all.
LOL those damn Gladiators with their rap music.
I don't like the music for this, but the film looks good, so I will give it a chance. If it's bad, that's fair enough, bash it, but I'm sick of people gatekeeping past films.

Yeah that felt like a studio decision didn't it?
