Disappointed Beyond Words. Gladiator 2 Falls Flat The original Gladiator is one of my all-time favorite movies, a masterpiece of cinematography, powerful dialogues, and stellar acting. Naturally, my expectations for Gladiator 2 were sky-high, especially after waiting nearly two decades. Unfortunately, the sequel failed on every level. The dialogues were uninspired and lacked the gravitas of the original. The acting was equally disappointing, even from Lucilla, who was incredible in the first movie but fell flat in this one. The writing and direction were a mess, making it hard to feel emotionally invested in any part of the story. One of the most glaring issues was the lack of realism in key scenes. For instance, ships are shown sailing all the way to a wall, only for a later scene to depict Lucius wading through shallow water that barely reached his chest. How could ships navigate such shallow waters? It’s these kinds of inconsistencies that pulled me out of the story. Overall, Gladiator 2 feels like a cheap imitation of the original, failing to capture any of the elements that made the first movie a classic. It’s a massive disappointment, especially for fans like me who had been eagerly anticipating this sequel for years.

Pain of the downridridden and voice of the voiceless. Brilliant movie. No exaggeration and to the point of the real story that happened in the early 90's. Does justice and a must watch.

The acting is absolutely terrible. Just watch it for some gory stuff.

Started really well but then turned out to be a joke. Couldn't take the series seriously.
