    Maximus was faithful to his wife and even had a son about Lucius’ age. The first film implied that Lucilla had a crush with Maximus, perhaps they even had a relationship before they were married, but that was it. Why turn Maximus a cheater, when the whole point of the first film was his devotion and loyalty to his murdered wife and son?!!!!

      It’s realistic. That doesn’t take away the fact he’s a good man. The man was a general, meaning most of his entire life surrounded the military likely keeping him far away from his home for months even years at a time. but physical desires don’t just magically disappear. Not far fetched to believe that over his career (even when married) he at least occasionally would’ve use a prostitute and/or did stuff with Lucilla giving the attitudes they have towards each other in gladiator 1.

      @@MrWord283 Hardly. it doesn’t take away from the point the first movie (not like he knew Lucius was his kid)… I’m just stating the realistic aspect of this scenario that should have already been assumed about Maximus. It’s not like narratively speaking the on screen relationship between Max and Lucilla didn’t give vibes that they likely had intimate history + when you factor realism angle this is an easy take to be believable. As a bonus narratively speaking it’s nice Maximus bloodline didn’t end with him so in a way he didn’t truly lose everything even though he didn’t know it.

    Macrinus, the supposedly cunning and intelligent mastermind who manipulated his way to commanding an empire, for some reason decides to ride out into the middle of a battlefield between two armies to be met by Lucius. He then immediately agrees to a 1v1 duel to the death against the younger, more experienced and more physically capable gladiator HE helped create.

    Top Gun Maverick was essentially a remake of the first Top Gun, but it was done in a way that viewed didn’t feel cheated. It had heart. It still felt like a sequel, in which Maverick’s life continues. Someone probably saw the huge success of that film and thought that making a Gladiator 1.2 would be enough. It’s the same mistake done with Star Wars The Force Awakens, a mere remake of the true and only Star Wars.

    About becoming emperor, in the Roman Empire the only important requirement was getting the confirmation from senate. There were dynasties here and there (starting from Augustus, foe example), but being related to previous emperor or even being of the right social class were not immediate requirements -and there was no stone-carved line of succession. There were several incidents where the army or the Praetorian guard hailed the person with the biggest purse to the job and later the senators (also paid) confirmed the title. There also were numerous cases where the Praetorians killed off their previous emperor for coin.
    It was not the most stable of system available.

      This is a flawed assumption and not entirely true. But for the sake of the movie, let's take the two emperors Caracalla and Geta, in real life they were in fact part of a dynasty and heirs to the empire as were their mother who served as empress of the empire. In real life Carcalla got Geta murdered and left to go into war, cause he hated mondane life. Their mother ruled Rome when Geta was murdered and Caracalla left, he never returned. You did have to have some status, you even say so yourself by saying you could get acceptance through paying the senate and you did have to be regarded in the eyes of the praetorians first and foremost, so the suggestion that you could bacially walz into it without no requirements is simply not true. You needed to have a rank and you were only given one such if you came from the right social class or the right blood line. The praetorians most often killed off their emperor due to a coup not for coin. The idea they did it for coin/money stems from the belief that they did a coup on an emperor, cause another person with a desire to rule Rome promised them better life conditions.

    By the 3rd act, i was actually rooting for Macrinus (Denzel) to win 😂. One of the Bright spots of the movie. He actually politic'd, Manipulated, outsmarted, and earned his way into power. He Kept his word to Lucius, he had no problem with getting his own hands Dirty when needed, and his motive and philosophy is directly opposed to the Good guys philosophy. I wish the other characters had this level of consistency and forethought into their characters. Instead, they seem to change and flip motivations with whatever the scene needs at the time.
    An example of that being, Lucius hating Rome, his mother for abandoning him as a child, and Marcus for killing his wife, but immediately forgiving his mother, Marcus, and changing his entire life philosophy on hating Rome after a few words from marcus in the arena. Then Turning on Macrinus (Denzel) when, from his perspective, Macrinus has only done good by him and gave him exactly what he asked him for to that point (the head of the General).

    On the motivation to fight: In the 1st film it wasn't just the fact that Commomdus killed Maximus family, but he killed Marcus Aurelius too. The empreror was a father to Maximus, and it was revealed in the film that Commodus & Maximus grew up together, something that Commodus touched on before the final fight scene (that makes us brothers). Even before he mentions how he'll avange his wife and son, the dropped the line "loyal servant to the true emperor Marcus Aurelius". The emperor, his father, meant a lot to him
    Its also this betryal by his "brother" that propels him to fight. Throughout the film, the audience knew Maximus' true identity: the real heir to the Roman throne & his desire to fulfil his father's vision for Rome was real. ("Marcus Aurelius had a dream Proximo. This is not it. This is NOT IT!")
    But in the second film, it was: must revenge wife who died in battle. And I care about Rome because of Daddy's ring!
    I mean, really?

    • @KasperK-su9oz
      @KasperK-su9oz 28 дней назад +2

      Exacly and the suggestion that Maximus and Commodus grew up together like brothers makes it even less plausible that Maximus would have had a relationship to Lucilla, who by that logic would basically have been his sister, not by actual blood band, but we are always shown in Gladiator that Maximus and Lucilla has a connection through admiration and kindship, there is no suggestion of any romance and yet porn brains will come to that conclusion cause why not.
      I see that Gladiator sites are beginning to rewrite the history of Maximus due to Gladiator 2 rewriting it, they are now editing in that he had a short romance with Lucilla when they were young BEFORE he met his wife as some sort of cope for bad script writing. He could not have had a romance before meeting his wife, cause Lucilla says Maximus son is the same age as Lucius, so either he cheated or Ridley and his team are some lazy ass sobs who has ruined the character of Maximus out of sheer greed. I will say it once and say it again, but Ridley Scott has lost the plot. Lucius does not work neither and the plot about the ring is silly, let alone the plot device of Lucius picking up sand in his hand and then suddenly Lucilla realizes it's Maximus and her son. Lazy so lazy.

    • @Boatswain_Tam
      @Boatswain_Tam 27 дней назад

      @KasperK-su9oz Yes, the scene where Lucilla & Maximus discussed their respective families & the age of their sons means that Lucius couldn't be Maximus' son (I mean if he was your son how could you not know?)
      I'm afraid it's not just rewriting the script, the second film is telling us that Maximus is a failure. Like I said, throughout the film, Maximus was suppose to be not just the true emperor (vs Commodus the usrper), but also the last emperor who ends the corruption and tyranny of empire & bring the Republic back to the people (that was the "Dream of Rome" in the first film)
      Well, obviously, the "dream" has crashed and burned, and Maxiums has failed. He died for nothing. The idiot twins rule the Empire, but there is no character depth to the twins, nor are we given any account as to why Maximus died for nothing.

      The legacy of Maximus and the hope of Rome has been destroyed by Ridley. And from a historical perspective it could actually have worked to have Lucilla be the empress of Rome as suggested in Gladiator. It makes it even more baffling and interesting that Caracalla and Geta are the new emperors in Gladiator 2 and they are so WRONGLY portraid, cause what is funny to me is that those two brothers and the real life Severus dynasty is a testament to the fact that the movie could have had Lucilla be empress, cause their real life mother was empress to their father and later became empress and ruler of Rome when Caracalla murdered Geta and left Rome to invade other dynasties. Ridley has become a Hollywood hack who just wanted asses in the theatre seats, but did he really need to destroy Maximus.

    My 2 biggest complaints:
    1) The script felt really meh. In the first movie there were plenty of scenes where actions speaks louder than words like when Lucilla slapped Commodus and kissed his finger showed her anger & forced submission without even saying a word. There's none in this one.
    2). Paul Mescal just doest not carry that gravitas as the main character and this is coming from a girl who simps over hot men on screen. The thing is, he is charming in interviews but his character is just so mehhh.. They keep mentioning of his "rage" but when I saw Paul Mescal acting, I felt none of this so called "rage".
    I'd rather they focus on Pedro Pascal's character, a respected general whose forced to do the emperor's bidding while they keep his family as hostage (his family not being Lucilla because I really want them to just diverge from the characters of the first movie).

    In regards to the "sudden" rise to power of Geta and Caracella, ever since the death of Marcus Aurelius, Rome went into a very turbulent period of emperors coming and going very quickly. Some emperors lasted less than a year before being murdered by their own men or dying in battle. Two very unstable individuals inheriting the throne, and not living that long, was not an uncommon sight at that point. Emperors like Caligula, Nero and Commodus also had the reputation of being absolute crazies shortly before their demise.

      In real life Geta and Caracella were hires to the empire and they were not idiots as portraid in the movie, they were both consuls to their father, despite their young age and both highly regarded by the praetorians as were their mother who served as an administer of the empire, the whole family were very intelligent and very respected by the roman people, getting the highest ranks possible, furthermore it was Caracella who had Geta murdered, cause he wanted to rule the empire alone and never saw one to one with Geta. When Geta died the responsibilites of their mother became even bigger, cause Caracella was not interested in mondane responsibilites, so if anything the movie should have portraid that Rome was practically ruled by a woman. They had that chance by continuing the idea that Lucilla became emperor, but no, Ridley did not like that. Caracella was actually a soldier, who was much more interested in going into war, he never returned and thus came their actual demise.
      We are living in some make belief world were we think every emperor of Rome was some loon who had a demise in mental health, it's a weird phenomenon exagerrated by mainstream media.
      And even if they were portraid correctly, which they ain't, it doesn't matter - The two emperors are simply plot devices, Ridley could have sat one of the CGI baboons and pretended that was the emperor, it would have ment just as much or little. They have no gravitaze, we don't care about them, like we cared about Commodus or hated him, cause they have no back story, they are simply plot tools and comedy reliefs and they don't work. What the hell was Ridley thinking??

      The sudden rise to power is not true in regards to Geta and Caracalla. Geta and Caracalla was heirs to the empire and part of the Severan dynasty. They were consuls to their father who reigned Rome from 193 to 211 and their mother the empress was accountant to their father. They were always destined to rule Rome and was not some "come and go" thing. It is however true that Macrinus became their successor, however Macrinus was not evil and actually tried to restore the economy of Rome, but was almost never present due to being in war. In regards to the Severan dynasty, it fell when Caracalla had Geta murdered and then himself left to venture into battle/invasion never to return. Caracalla was regarded as an actual solider, not some buffoon, and as the emperor who constituted that all men of Rome are free men, when granted citizenship all despite his young age.

    I disagree with what you said about this movie feeling more cinematic than its predecessor - it was made using superior technology, but most of the shots felt boring and plain. I watched Gladiator for the first time two days ago and watched Gladiator II today, and in the original, Rome felt like this massive, awe-inspiring, almost fantastical place, whereas the city in the sequel was nearly lifeless. The fight between Lucius and Acacius was the only sequence in the sequel, in my opinion, that even came close to the original film in this regard

  • @alexman378

    There’s people comparing Lucien vs Macrinus to Maximus vs Commodus, because Commodus was also a far weaker fighter. Here’s why they’re not comparable;
    Commodus acknowledges that Maximus is the superior fighter and “fixes” the fight by starving Maximus out for some time, tying him in a way that ensures he wouldn’t get any quality sleep, and stabs him five minutes before the fight. Maximus does win, but he also dies from that eventually.
    Lucien has nothing working against him to balance out the age gap. If he had a broken arm or something, maybe, but as is, he’s fresh from a fight (where he solos multiple Praetorians), and Macrinus is a 70 year old without any recent experience.

    I agreed with 100% of what you said up to the point that you talked about it being better from a cinematography standpoint. Time and the value of spending money on a movie have nothing to do intrinsically with the quality of film. From a technical standpoint even. Gladiator I is superior in every way from a cinematography, shot/editing/angle, coloration, color grading perspective. Also many of your points are surface level action analysis or plot sequence analysis, and Id argue, while theyre totally valid you could have included the in-depth details that are missing from Gladiator. What made Gladiator incredible, was also a lot of the small things like the connection to philosophy, stoics, the oral tradition, and the notion of Elysium which isn't even touched once.

The good thing is the ending was well made and sets up for gladiator 3 which basically will be able to be a completely new plot from the first two. The bad part is that idk why they killed off Denzel Washington's character like he was actually good and should have been in the final movie but now they are gonna have to introduce a completely new villain and idk if they will have the time to properly develop a new villain.

      Caracalla and Geta and not accurately portraid. They were hires to the empire and consuls to the emperor. Their mother was acountant to the emperor and the entire family was highly regarded by the praetorians. In real life Caracalla was the one who had Geta murdered, not through manipulation or any such thing, but disagreements and a desire to rule Rome alone. The family's demise came when Caracalla later left Rome into battle and never returned. When he was absent his mother was believed to have ruled the empire from behind the scenes due to the fact that Caracalla despised mondane responsibilites. The movie did not get anything accurate as far as I am aware.

    The writers also cut the legs out of their revenge story immediately after setting it up, by showing us that Acacius is a good man and despises the bloodshed and corruption he's forced to do as a general. So, unlike in Gladiator where we can't wait for Commodus to die, we're dreading when Acacius will undeservedly die. It destroys Lucius's revenge motivation instead of letting us root for him to see it through.

It was such an epic scene with character development. I felt nothing like this through the monkey fight scene.

    Ridley deciding to shoot 'Gladiator 2' on a digital camera for the sake of convenience gives it that actors-doing-cosplay look that makes it look like a Netflix streaming release compared to the gorgeous cinematic visual quality of kodak and eastman 35mm used for the first one where it actually looks like a professional studio movie from the big 5. The other letdown is that you don't really end up caring about any of the characters so you're not that emotionally engaged in the story unfortunately. Crowe actually looks like a regal war veteran / Roman general rather than a guy you would see down at your local gym and his performance manages to provoke you emotionally. The first 2 minute entrance into the colosseum before Maximus instructs the gladiators to all stick together just for sheer thrill-factor, soundtrack, tension building, visual quality..etc is far better than the entirety of Gladiator 2 (5.5). Ridley is great when he has a good script to work with (The Last Duel / The Martian) but his directorial style can't elevate a lacklustre script in the same way that someone like Spielberg can.

    Ridley Scott has lost his marbles with all the recent historical movies he's attempted - Gods and Kings, Napoleon and now Gladiator 2 with deviation from history.
    Even Gladiator was more fictional than factual - Ridley Scott's films often use factual historical characters acting on a fictional storyline devised and directed by him - but Russell Crowe carried that film with his stellar performance.
    The rest of Ridley Scott's historical movies are all sub par -
    Gods and Kings is sub par as compared to The Ten Commandments
    Napoleon was disgustingly inaccurate - did Napoleon in historical fact ever order the destruction of the Sphinx in Egypt in Ridley Scott's Napoleon?
    And now Gladiator 2 in which Maximus is now shown as an adulterer and cheater on his wife with Lucilla to sire Lucius.
    Completely destroys the audience's liking for Maximus's "strength and honor" code from the first film.
    Denzel Washington's Macrinus looks more like Training Day's Alonzo Harris in ancient Rome in a toga.

    The decision to have that wonky final duel seems like an extension of a Ridley Scott wart. I love RS films as a whole, but that doesn't keep me from noting his misses and flaws, and the need to finish with a brainless one on one duel seems like an itch he can't help but scratch. To me, the ultimate example of this was the final and silly duel at the end of the Kingdom Of Heaven director's cut. I liked the theatrical version and I love the DC, with virtually every bit that was reinserted being worth inclusion. The exception is the cartoonish duel at the very end. It serves no purpose for either Balian (who has already saved the day) or Guy (who has already been humiliated), not to mention that it doesn't even fit the spirit of the history of the time that the film held to (obviously it was historical fiction, but when you include plenty of real elements such as "kings do not kill kings" you don't need this revenge duel bit). And, of course, it doesn't at all flow with the story or pacing of the film.
    Seems like this is just a RS thing, unfortunately.

    Gladiator 2 is utter trash on every level - acting, writing, directing….even CGI. Two strikes in a row for Ridley Scott (Alien Romulus being the first).

    It’s a very rushed remake with probs the worst CGI I have ever seen in a movie with that budget in this time period. You want a good comparison? It’s like gladiator 1 is the first few seasons of game of thrones, gladiator 2 is season 8.

    I never watched gladiator too other then walking in on my dad when I was younger, And just from those few scenes i saw i felt Desha vu (idk how to say it) even tho I hadn't watched the first one. Overall i feel it was a dumb fun movie u would never see again but for most people well yk, they already saw it.

    Macrinus was Berber in real life so he would look Moroccan not black African. But in Hollywood black washing is good and normal white washing is bad though. But it’s ok to not have representation for middle eastern and North African people

      But all the Roman court and emperors being all white dudes isn't the issue? Or making a black man who freed himself from slavery from the main character's grandfather the bad guy is not an issue?

      I don’t like the movie but how was she a Hollywood girl boss? I don’t think she had an arrogance and snarkiness that is portrayed as positive vibe around her. She’s just resilient fighter? An archer even.

    The lead actor was the most disappointing. Came across as another hollywood DEI hire, when the part required a stronger/better actor with gravitas and charisma.
