What I truly hate is how they made Maximus a dirty dog. I always got the vibe that vengeance was the only lady for him at that point since he was so shattered by losing his wife and son. I got the impression the queen’s affection was only one-sided

[@pattheplanter]

Perhaps he was obliged to perform.

[@MrBrock314]

It's possible he was with Lucilla before he was with his wife - they didn't mention how long he had been married in the first film and his child isn't that old so the math works.

Luckily, I didn't even make it to the shark scene, cause I walked out of the thater midway.

I mean Denzel is magic, we all know that. The sharks are offensive tho.

[@adabsurdum5905]

The ending fight with Denzel honestly had a lot better choreography than most of the movie. That fight and the fight with Pedro were the only parts that didn't look like a direct to DVD knockoff

To be fair, the Romans are believed to have had hand pumps for firefighting, so "hand pump them down" doesn't have the ring of "hose them down". And they did have newspapers, and they lasted for eleven more years after the one the movie is set in, but it was a single plaque that was hung in a public place or message boards across forums and such, the Acta Diurna. But it was made of stone or metal, not paper. It would be incredibly expensive to do so otherwise
