Gladiator 2 REVIEW - NO SPOILERS

[@AntsTheaterCorner2698]

Does anyone miss when Ridley Scott actually made good films and wasn't trying to popularize and capitalize on his own success with unnecessary films? I know I do.

The excellent Last Duel came out just 3 years ago. Ridley's still got it, the scripts/boneheaded studios have just been letting him down as of late.

Joaquin Pheonix was so menacing in Gladiator that I almost forgot about Russel Crowe.

[@ChienaAvtzon]

Grace, your review underscores my opinion, that it was the producer who caused “Gladiator” to be a great film. Everyone always forgets “Gladiator” was produced Amblin/Dreamworks (aka: Steven Spielberg). Meaning, the producers reigned in all of Ridley Scott’s worst impulses and streamlined the story. Something about the trailer for “Gladiator II” showcased Scott went for bombastic over substance, and the film lacked a compelling lead in Paul Mescal. Even without seeing this yet, I seriously cannot believe there are talks about filming a third installment. Which only proves that Hollywood continually fails to read the room.

[@mainchannel1566]

Producer interference is usually good. They work on more films than directors, so have a better understanding of what works.

Pedro Pascal's character fits the movie better than Paul Mescal because Pedro has that latin/roman flavor in his face.

[@Hiccuple]

Having seen the film at an early screening, Pascal should've easily been lead. Seeing him in this movie you realize the producers weren't watching the dailies and someone needed to realize they needed to pivot to him. Pascal has the look, charisma, and presence. I just wasn't feeling it with Mescal.

Gladiator 1 is a perfect perfect movie

[@bigd4998]

🙌🏽❤️

[@alexor081]

When historians point out things about "historical movies", the majority brush it off as insignificant. But making an (as accurate as it can be) historical movie is comparable to staying accurate with the source material on a current fantasy show. There was cohesion at the start with both circumstances. They sell us this dream of venturing into Ancient Rome but in reality it's rich out of touch people making ego boosts for "broad societies."

[@Persephone_Personified]

Rich out of touch people in actual Rome, and people that created this film. 110% correct. It makes me so sad that awesome smaller movies from unknown directors get brushed aside for more CGI filled messes... they’ll never learn... they should see it coming... but I guess Rome acted like they didn’t see it coming either. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@alexor081]

​​​@@Persephone_Personified And yet, a rich American filmmaker has nothing in common with a Roman elite. Total lack of class. These kinds of movies are stereotypical, as if Rome is just gladiators and muscles. For the purposes of "entertainment", we accept that and try to enjoy the spectacle. But when you learn that it hasn't any memorable depiction of the spectacle of Rome and it tries to be complex with a bunch of characters and history into one film, no wonder it fails. Unfortunately the protagonist might be a clear copy of Maximus, and the fact that he's his son is what initially gave it away.

[@alexor081]

​@@Persephone_PersonifiedAlso, Rome saw it coming and accepted change. The empire split into western and eastern parts. When the west was falling with Rome, Constantinople in the east was rising. For the last years of the west they even changed cities and Ravenna was the capital city when Rome fell. In due course the western civilization of Rome feel but the eastern part of the empire continued for another thousand years. Very interesting history, worthy of a read. 👌

[@iikaedenii]

"There are no feelings in the Roman Empire GET BACK IN HERE" LMAOOOOOOOOO

[@OmarHudson]

I think a real depiction of Rome is good. Because so many have romanticized it in such a way.

[@matiasdevaglia4541]

Exactly. That's how nowadays we have so many people, mostly young men, dreaming about going back to the "glory of the Roman Empire".

[@zaneshark]

​​@@matiasdevaglia4541 This is not a real depiction of Rome. If you want a real depiction of Rome, read the works of Cicero, Caesar, and other surviving Roman texts. Visit the Vatican museum. This Hollywood trash is so historically inaccurate that it would hardly even pass as historical fiction.

_Spartacus (1960)_ about the gladiator that escapes and leads a fugitive slave army is a great watch if you have the time, as is _Ben-Hur (1959)_ with its chariot racing.

Gladiator has been my #1 movie for a LONG time, and I've been sceptical about Gladiator II ever since its first announcement. The first one ends so perfectly, that I suspected that any sequel would at best add nothing, and at worst undermine the original. It's also arrived way too late, just like Sin City 2 (another disappointing/pointless sequel to a fantastic first film)...

[@RWM07001]

I thought the trailer looked awful. Hollywood needs some original epics not a watered down sequel.

[@murk_yo]

Yeah like Grace said, in the first movie we're told that "There was once a dream that was Rome", and we get to see that through following Maximus, who embody that vision - A loving father, a loyal husband, a just leader. Which is yeah, romantic - but so was the dream the Emperor was talking about. It's idealism - it's classic storytelling of good prevailing over evil. The first movie is so smart about this, but now I'm starting to wonder if this was a intentional or just a fluke from Ridley Scott lmao. I'll never forget him for butchering my favourite movie's sequel like this😭
