What were your favourites of 2024? Any I should check out that I haven't mentioned??

The film was absolutely awful! It's disturbing.. it's about a child in an adults body being sexually used and abused it's messed up all the way through including the ending with a goat brain being put into a human.. wtf are people smoking saying this film is amazing.. it messes with your mind all the way through!

Brilliant series. Got DVD complete as a gift and so happy to have it. so English to its core.

I think this film is more about societies of exploitation(like capitalism, for example), than about religions. Grant plays somewhat collective image of an exploiter, not a religious guy. He doesn't care how to exploit others, via realigion, fear, or whatever works.

Really? Who the...are you people? Please relish the break from ridiculously mindless marvel comic books and saccerine Disney cartoons. Suddenly you're all Gene Siskel. Stop your whining.

Gladiator + Training Day + CGI + bad writing = Gladiator 2

Watched it last night. I think it was honestly my favourite film of the year

I resolved not to see this after the disaster that was 'Napoleon'. Seems I was right. It is a fantasy movie with people wearing vaguely Roman gear and with similar names to real Romans. 'Caracalla' was a nickname by the way, which no one outside his family and close group of friends would have used. Without a single exception, all his coins and inscriptions name him 'Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus'. He was also a tough, bear of a man who would never have worn makeup. But hey - this is after all a Ridley Scott film.

Be in no doubt: The people saying "Gladiator II - a sequel no-one asked for" have watched the entirety of every single one of these franchises: Alien Back to the Future Batman Beverly Hills Cop Blade Runner Cars Despicable Me Die Hard Fast & Furious Finding Nemo/Dory Ghostbusters Godzilla Harry Potter How to Train Your Dragon Indiana Jones Iron Man James Bond John Wick Jurassic Park/World Kung Fu Panda Mad Max Marvel Cinematic Universe Men in Black Mission: Impossible Pirates of the Caribbean Planet of the Apes Predator Rambo Resident Evil Rocky/Creed Shrek Spider-Man Star Trek Star Wars Terminator The Conjuring The Exorcist The Hunger Games The Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit The Matrix The Mummy The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Toy Story Transformers Tremors Tron X-Men

I have now watched "Heretic" four times. Mr. Reed is a polygamist. --

Where you entertained?

Megalopolis is the most expensive NEIL BREEN movie not directed by Neil Breen. But while Breen's movies are fun because they are "so bad they are good, Megalopolis is so bad that just makes you cringe and constantly check your watch.

I think saw in on dvd after my sister in law recommended it, Exceed my expectation

Nope not good

This film? Second brewing of a tea bag in my opinion.

Terrible. The mutant dog like apes and sharks, not to mention little to no character development

Decent movie , Pedro pascals character was entirely unnecessary though. This sequel also kinda ruins the whole vibe from the original, had this been a a stand alone film I’d like it…

I like d the movie. I was entertained.

I think Ridley Scott has devolved into money grubbing.

The father - son connection was a bad idea - a lame attempt to make you feel something for the main character in this - but it just takes away from the original film. - He had a love and loyalty to his wife a child but was banging the emperor's daughter around the same time.... ? Why couldn't Maximus be admired and respected for simply being a man?.... That's because men have no value unless they provide something like fatherhood...

Didn’t need a sequel. Gladiator was a standalone classic

I just watched it and came across this KZbin video. My opinion about the movie is this: bad story writing, distorted and inaccurate historical narration, unsuccessful and exaggerated theatrical bad acting, events and ceremonies that cannot be applied in practice in Roman history, bad editing. Mescal is very bland, there is no character depth. The man's wife was murdered a week ago and he is walking around throughout the movie grinning at his friends' stupid jokes. The man's facial expressions had nothing to do with the scenes he played. There are also those who shamelessly say that Denzel will be nominated for an Oscar with this movie, but I can't find anything to say :))) (I'm keeping Pedro separate.) I have watched B-class movies before, which were of better quality but did not make a splash because they had a lower budget. This was pure torture for these eyes, which had previously watched the Gladiator 1, ROME TV series and Spartacus. Fast forward to now and I finished it in an hour. I'm glad I didn't pay at the cinema.

To be honest Gladiator didn't need a sequel. However said, it was an entertaining movie. Nowhere near as good as Gladiator but that is understandable as few sequels can ever be as good. Maximus being the central character in Gladiator was masculine, strong and a leader. Nowadays they don't want to portray this image of men without women being equal. Strength and honour. The best character in This movie was Denzel, he really gave his character meaning. I enjoyed it overall but videos like this often make us look deeper but don't put me off it.

Denzel was good but that Maximus sons actor… he is bad

I loved it

So… like… erm… ive still not seen the first 😂😂😂

Terrible sequel.

Thanks for watching😁. . . So, I know I repeat it so many times, but how damn good is Denzel in this??👍

Hum i wonder who Mister Reed voted for?

Noooooooooooo Gladiator 2 is a stain on the wondrous original.

Embarrassingly it took me many years after its release to see this movie, but I’m happy I allowed myself to mature to appreciate its glory. The soundtrack always gives me goosebumps, the performances are stellar and the story is one I can watch over and over again for decades.

Gladiator is a masterpiece! I too watched it first on VHS in all its grainy glory 😄

Thanks for watching... If you've seen Gladiator, how did you first see it? Anyone in club VHS??

Looks weird as hell, I might have to go and see it.

I've always been a fan of Hugh Grant. He is very believable.

Cool, youtube recommended me a new channel that's actually trying instead of lets players with no charisma chasing trends so they don't have to work for a living. Subscribed.

The shared delusion is actually between the filmmaker and the audience.

As a big bayverse fan myself, I can say with EASE that this is the best Transformers movie so far

The best transformers new origin movie. easy for new fan and old fan give a idea of the variant of Transformers... the story looks abit a same, but is just another version only. they finally show the golden age of cybertron movie, that all fan want it the most.

I actually liked it better than the first one too.

Well I just watched it... A lot of nostalgia sounds and pictures meshed together. I felt so many times forced to remember my experiences from the first two movies. It felt a bit awkward to say the least.This is one more example of trying to get the feeling to audiences decades away from the environment that made those flicks great. Nowadays it just feels they are trying to press you dry, because you liked the first two or three installations.

The last two live-action films haven't shared a universe with the previous five, and Bumblebee at least is very well regarded, if that helps.

Thank You for giving a different perspective on this Film. I am going to see it tonight! I know I won't be disappointed.

I truly believe this movie will be a cult classic in a few years. It's subversive, interesting, and intensely bleak. The major problem for me with this film is it needs a directors cut.

yes it was. Turning this in a musical was a bad mov(i)e.

keep it up dude

I think you definitely hit the nail on the head with the story and the way it was handled, especially regarding how it was clearly made for both kids and adults. Funnily enough, that was the entire point of making this movie. The Bay films had taken the franchise to a place that was really made for older fans...but were so poorly made by the end that they ultimately appealed to no one. Transformers One was a fresh attempt to bring humor and a new origin story for the younger generation to hook onto the franchise, but at the same time gave a lot of callouts and references that old-school fans would pick up on and enjoy. It has its lighthearted moments, but as you said, also darker and more impactful moments that show that the story is really here to show the complex dynamic that connects Optimus and Megatron, what made them the people they are today, and how this can then set up a potential new universe to play with in the future. I don't know if this new interpretation of the classic Transformers universe is going to stick, but at the very least, the movie is fantastic and a true love letter to all Transformers fans, old and new alike.~

I loved the performances and the direction that Todd Phillips and Joaquin Pheonix decided to go with the character of Arthur with having him face the consequences of his actions and battle with his identity through them. The challenges placed on Arthur both felt subversive and yet cohesive with where we last saw him in 2019’s Joker. However, the lame musical sequences, thin story, and off-putting ending bog this movie down tremendously! Still, I have not stopped thinking about since I left the theatre, and that is worth something in my opinion. Great review!

This Movie is a Disaster 👎😒

People did not enjoy the regression back to Arthur, but after expectations are removed(often on second viewing)- one can really appreciate this film for itself. Nice thumbnail btw!
