What was Ridley Scott thinking. He missed this from a mile. When you go from Gladiator to its sequel you cross refer to make sure your sequel is better than the first. This did not have the awsome cinematic experience that Gladiator had. The main character couldn't carry the role, Denzel's role fell short of what he is really capable of, even Pedro wasn't given a proper commanding script. This was like a B movie with A list actors. Terrible.
