Gladiator 2 Trailer REACTION

He’s said in an interview that it was his choice not to score the film. He feels like he’s done repeat scores for movies multiple times and he’s over that. He also doesn’t want to be compared to himself. I get it but whoever is the composer has impossible shoes to fill bc the Gladiator soundtrack is beyond epic and can’t be topped. The choice of contemporary music for this trailer is disastrous and nonsensical.

[@ZlatanHu.]

Visuals are on point IMO, costumes, sets, cinematography, I mean it's a comfort zone for Ridley Scott. However, JayZ really took me out of it, it's not fitting to the esthetic, period and an overall vibe they are trying to sell here. What was the point?

[@onceandfutureping6810]

It’s only marginally more anachronistic than a symphonic orchestral piece since those didn’t exist until 1448. If you want historical accuracy, it’s nowhere to be found in entertainment.

[@lpsbullion]

yeah compare the music to the original one. This new movie has already failed. rape music for a ancient gladiator movie. lol

[@emileahy6714]

The music in the trailer is shit 💩

[@bellcurve0]

Heres the thing, the original was squarely centered on Crowes character, the trailers made it clear, it was a character journey with spectacle.. now this trailer looks great.. but whos the lead? Is it denzel because it sure looks like a political thing starring denzel with the gladiator dude needing to be there because action scenes. The gladiator dude seems to have as much charisma as a bowl of lukewarm water in this trailer.

[@legionmartin]

The music does not match the trailer at all. Seems like this trailer was trying to pander to GEN Z and seem cool. It ended up doing the exact opposite. It was a turn off. The trailer should have been a more cinematic & epic score. Part of what made the first Gladiator so epic was the way the movie was scored. Not off to a good start with this one.

[@DanFree7]

I'm not sold. And I dont like the RAP music in it. I just stick with the first Gladiator.

[@RobertVanderStelt]

Honestly... Denzel kinda took me out of the trailer. He looks & sounds like Denzel, he could've had an accent or something.

It looks like he's playing the Oliver Reed role. I agree. I would have liked to see Denzel do a more grizzled character or disappear into a role with character traits.

Gladiator is like Hunger Games; they are both fighting to the death in an arena. It's cool. I think Gladiator is using the Hunger Games method of releasing its film in November because it worked with the Hunger Games film.

My thoughts watching the trailer for Gladiator 2. Wow, if I had a nickel for every time Denzel Washington and Pedro Pascal came together in the second entry of a franchise I never expected the original movie to get a sequel- I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that happened twice, right?

[@michaelantonyaustin]

Silly? Did we watch the same trailer Grace? Elaborate fights with wild animals, re-enactments of ancient myths and burlesque comedies were an actual part of a gladiator show. This looks fabulous with some quality acting and FX - can’t wait!

[@michelvanderweide8542]

Gladiator was an epic film, with a heartbreaking story, great action setpieces, amazing characters, but most of all emotional depth. The vibe I’m getting from this trailer is just full on action without any depth whatsoever. I never judge a film by a trailer, so I still hope I’m wrong. But this film looks like it walks down the same road the sequel to Train to Busan did. And that sadly did not end so well 😢

Yay! A new trailer reaction. Feels like it's been a long time since we had a reaction video. I've been thinking lately, as a consumer of BTT content for 10+ years, my favorite content is Grace's trailer reactions and of course the livestreams. Always appreciate the inside scoops (though I think Grace said she's backing away from being a scooper recently?) and movie reviews, but there's always been something about the trailer reactions that's made this channel great. Love experiencing trailers with Grace and hearing her thoughts/analysis. Just wanted to share that feedback.

[@honestlykyle]

The stuff in this trailer is more historically accurate than it is "silly." For example, the coliseum was, in fact, flooded and drained, so special flat-bottomed boats could be battled inside. They also frequently forced gladiators to fight animals like lions and rhinos in the arena.

[@itsmedreeeam]

I just don't understand how a movie that costs so much can be profitable... There's no way this makes more than one billion, right?
