Are you not entertained?! Are you not entertained?! I’m entertained!
The film will not ever beat the first Gladiator however the scale of it felt just as big as the first movie in the Colussum, the fight & murder scenes were jaw dropping, shocking. The people of Rome are the true power, not sitting in any chair or throne and it shows that. The soundtrack did honor the first movie soundtrack beyond measure. And the cast was phenomenal! I was not disappointed walking out of the theater and I would watch it again.
And most of all, the character presence of General Maximus and Emperor Marcus was rooted in the movie which I truly loved most of all. There were people that still held loyalty to Maximus long after he is dead in the story.
