ANTHONY FERNANDO

I am not entertained!!! The film was underwhelming. It failed in comparison to the original. I was not impressed with the acting from the protagonist to the villain. Paul Mescal does not have the gravita that Russell Crowe had. Crowe’s character had strong screen presence and credibility. I wasn’t convinced that Mescal’s character would be listened to by the Roman Army. Denzel could not even save the film. Somehow he overacted this one. It felt awkward in some scenes. Don’t even start me with the last scene. It’s anti-climactic. All that costumes and production design for the whole army and not see action. What’s that all about?!! Sometimes, some classics just don’t need a sequel.

The critics who negatively rated this film deserve to have those rockets blown up their arses. The movie is hilarious! It’s absurdly funny. I can’t stop laughing every time I remember the elephant scene.
