Maximus’s wife and son were burned and hanged in the first one. This detail being overlooked by making Paul Mescal the offspring of Crowe’s character is a little upsetting. I’m STILL going to see this film because of the nostalgia of it, because of Denzel being attached to it. And most of all (unlike other sequels) Ridley Scott has returned to direct it. I trust his vision.
The first gladiator is one of my favourite movies ever i dont like people judging this second movie and comparing it to the first although i understand human nature enough to realise it is natural for people to do that but i would urge people to look at this movie as a separate film and i bet most people will think this an extrodinary fantastic movie also the cast alone is one of the best ensembles you will ever see they are exceptional and so is the movie
The fact that this movie and Wicked are both releasing on the same day (Friday, November 22nd) #Wickiator could be the next Barbenheimer. Gladiator will probably be the next Oppenheimer, and Wicked, the next Barbie Which movie are you seeing first? Wicked or Gladiator II?
Denzel made the movie for me. Yes I am biased I love the guy in everything he was in, but his character & his performance just made the sequel more convincing for my interest. What I really like about both Gladiator movies, I felt it more this time around, was it to me not only recreated the glory of Rome but it also showed a mirror to us in the West especially the USA the most. We are so much like the Romans. From warfare, to gladiator combat, nasty politics, to Republican-Democratic virtue I saw America.
The bad guys, except for Denzel, were not as bad as Phoenix in the first movie. The son doesn’t hold a candle to Russell Crowe, it took me half the movie to realise that that actor was supposed to be the son of Russell Crowe and was supposed to have the same amount of vengeance or hatred or anger and to me he was just some other character in the film until I finally realised who they wanted him to be so I think he was miscast and they needed a much more dramatic actor in that part.
When G1 came out it had a lot of haters. Russell Crowe being a NZ born Aussie with a bad accent playing a spaniard didn't fly. Plus he had a lousy reputation as a diva. Ask the hotel staff and the phone saga.
Completely different (as in fake) world compared to what was created in the first. Ridley Scott (so good when he used to care) needs to stop denigrating humanity with this kind of pablum. Denzel (great in his younger years) probably needs to stop too (at least he didn't stick his tongue in his cheek ad nauseum). And poor Connie Nielsen (so good in the first) should have bowed out when she saw the script. Terrible writing. So tiring hearing the crowd's ongoing misplaced and unwarranted cheers and the constant clanging sound of metal on metal when it was metal on flesh. Terrible movie. But most people will like it because they love CGI blood.
It's a shame that the sequel was such a hit awful mess. Silly sequel. Terrible CGI. Bad dialogue. Unmemorable new score. Central hero that did not have the gravitas of a Russel Crowe. And a story revealed through terrible exposition. And i love Denzel but i don't understand why there's such buzz around his performance in a mediocre movie 😕 Shoulda left the Gladiator original alone.

This film made me appreciate the first one even more.
The 2nd one is trash.
Your opinion is not fact
@ who said it was?
@@TazBo-wd2ig Nobody, I just said it wasnt...try to keep up ..
3 impressive actors , love Paul's attitude - I have a job to do, and Connie's loyalty/ protectiveness to him, cobalt is really her colour.
"I'm pretty good at what I do too.." such a Denzel thing to say! ❤
A brilliant movie.. a wonderful story, congratulations to Mr Ridley Scott.
Can't wait to see it!!!!
Why not?
It was fantastic
I've seen it twice! Excellent..Paul mescal was sheer perfection & perfect casting. He delivered as Denzel says
This was a great sequel which I devised but the writing was awesome and so impressed!!!
To be in his 80s and still directing is such an inspiration. When its in you, it never leaves.
Connie still looks lovely she hasn’t aged!
Just watched the first one lastnight. Can't wait to see this bad boy on Friday!
Tomorrow I’m going to see it with my daughter just for him because I don’t like these types of movies but anything for Mr. Washington ❤
I love Denzel. I would have loved to have a father like him, instead of my tyranical one..
Seeing it Thursday baby!!
temper your expectations.
@@purefoldnz3070 seeing the 1st one for the 3rd time this year in 2 days
@@Cosplay_Piano 1st one is so much better than the sequel and holds up 24 years after it was released

A mistake by this news outlet. Actually the son of a different character.
Love CBS mornings❤

Denzel was so evil in this one 😂😂😂😂😂
Ridley Scott

cash in on thanksgiving holiday
You are correct. I already watch it last weekend and I dotn live in the US
Epic and brilliant only I can say

Dont watch this in Imax, it doesnt even go full ratio.
It went in my imax 😊
A hit😆..I like it!
denzel love movie gladitor 2 fans
Which movies are you guys seeing first? #Wickiator
Gladiator II? Or Wicked?
Loved the film. Not as good as the original but it never needed to be. Going to see it again!
Shocking film.
I will see it
Must watch …

CBS Mornings: title reads “Gladitators” instead of Gladiators.
Now it’s “Gladitors”
Gen Z can’t spell y’all- that’s what I think! 😆 😩
Ok first off Paul does not play the son of maximus 😂😂😂😂 his mom is connie he never met his dad
Yup he does play the son, this report basically spoilt this info lol
Less news more celebrity scoops
It’s about “Emporer” is automatically an evil circumstance.
Very sadly relevant now
What do u think😋 a bit it won't harm it Conni
The movie is wild it’s a blast 🫡 to Ridley Scott

Paul sound and looks so much like Mel Gibson
I went for the first day of the first show and it was average . To be honest I feel the expectations didn't meet . Russell Crowe is irreplaceable.
i cant believe its the same Connie. time has not been kind 2 her
cry about it
Who's seen Macbeth with washington using his ny accent.
Faking an English accent is the worse
English is English
Even worse is the late Laurence Oliviers Othello
I liked This film! racists hated seeing black people in the first one and the second one so that hasn’t changed.
The story line & writing was trash.
First half of the movie great. Second half…. Ehhh.
One thing about Paul is that he certainly has a Roman face.
Connie doesn't look like herself. Stop with the plastic surgery.
The lady is almost 60 years. She made the last Gladiator nearly 25 years ago. She looks amazing and her face does not look plastic or enhanced!
You need to change your handle. You don't reflect Atticus Finch at all.
Didnt really like it. Denzel just look like he was in training day but in different movie
It’s brutal compared to the greatest of Russell Gladiator , I fell asleep watching it , useless!!!!
It's a shame that the sequel was such a hit awful mess. Silly sequel. Terrible CGI. Bad dialogue. Unmemorable new score. Central hero that did not have the gravitas of a Russel Crowe.

Shoulda left the Gladiator original alone.
It can’t be that worse than that God-Awful, disturbed, “Joker 2”. If you don’t like it, then why are you even here then?
Russel Crowe is the same in every movie.
yes, the first film is untouchable, has more action and gravitas. This new one has an angry monkey, an angry rhino and angry shark.
Damn, almost thought I wrote this. Took the words right out of my mouth.
Terrible movie. Nothing good about it. Not even Denzel. Acting, writing, directing, CGI….utter trash 🗑️
It's Eraserhead Eraserhead Eraserhead Eraserhead Eraserhead Eraserhead Eraserhead 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Media paid to prop up another generic - over bloated Hollywood film….
Gladiator 2 at best, is just eh.
Stream it. Nothing you need to see in Theaters.
HORRIBLE MOVIE !!!!
