GLADIATOR II GOT SO MANY THINGS WRONG :- 1. Unclear Motivations: Till the half of movee Lucius appears to act more out of circumstance rather than driven by a strong, personal quest for vengeance. This contrasts sharply with the original, where Maximus’s journey was deeply rooted in loss and the desire for retribution. 2. Character Development Shortcomings: Questions like why his mother didn’t contact him or how his early life shaped his character remain unanswered. How could a mother totally abandon her son and live in luxury of Rome. Who brought up Lucius nothing shown. 3. Acting and On-Screen Chemistry: The lead actor do not have Quest for vengeance/Justice in his eyes like Russel Crowe had in Gladiator (2000). It seems he is a normal solder/fighter, not leader, hero who is opposing tyrrany. Dialogue delivery are poor, feels forced. Makes no Impact. Villian are not Formidable. The Emperor could been Ultimate evil villain but they gets are killed by just a Corrupt business man. 🤔🤔 While Pedro Pascal’s performance is baddas it feel that he overshadows the lead actor. The lack of a compelling chemistry—especially the missed opportunity for a father-son dynamic if circumstances had forced them together. 4. Poor copy for previous movie. They tried to copy Maximus family Dealth with Lucius wife death, Lucilia meeting Maximus with Lucilia meeting Lucius in prison, and many more. It horrible. INSTEAD THEY COULD HAVE MADE STORY AS BELOW. 👇👇 1. Lucius Discovers Maximus as His Father Instead of just being a random warrior caught in circumstances, Lucius could have learned that Maximus was his biological father, adding an emotional and personal stake in his fight. This revelation could come from his mother, Lucilla, or from secret letters hidden from him. 2. Continuing Maximus's Legacy Against Corruption Inspired by Maximus, Lucius could pick up where he left off—not just fighting for survival but for Rome’s ideals. The central conflict could have been him struggling between being a warrior and a leader trying to restore honor. 3. Fight for the Republic Instead of just another gladiator revenge story, Gladiator II could have been about a movement—a rebellion against imperial corruption. This aligns with real Roman history, as many senators and generals wanted to weaken the emperor's power and return Rome to a Republic. 4. Betrayal & The Tarnishing of Maximus’s Name A perfect twist would have been corrupt politicians rewriting history, portraying Maximus as a traitor to Rome. Lucius would then have to fight not only against physical enemies but also against propaganda, proving his father’s honor and sacrifice. 5. A Stronger Emotional Core Lucius and Pedro Pascal’s character could have had a deep mentor-student or father-son dynamic, making their eventual conflict or alliance more meaningful. Lucilla’s choices would have been more nuanced—did she stay silent to protect Lucius, or was she manipulated by the elites? It would have story much richer in narrative stakes and historical relevance. Instead of a generic action flick, it could have been a powerful political and personal drama, just like the first Gladiator.

This is the best TV show in India based on mythology, better than other version of Mahabharat. Hats-off to the Directors, Screen & Dialogue writer, costume designers and the Actors for bringing up just fantastic show. This show perfectly maintains balance between drama, storyline, sequence, life lessons etc. After every major event there is a lesson from Shri Krishna which makes this show more than just entertainment. We need more such shows rather than just typical Saas Bahu seriels. According to me the perfect acting was done by Tharoor Anup Singh (role of Dhritrashtra) and Surabh Raj Jain ( role of Krishna). Dhritrashtra, blind man physically, and also have blind affection for his sons and for this reason he doesn't forbade them while they involve in silly crimes in childhood and his sons grow up to be followers of Adharma (evil). Even then throughout his life he blindly keeps them supporting on their every wrongdoing. Which finally leads to War of Kurukshetra to happen and he ends up losing all his sons. At end, he is a depressed Father who is angry on their murderer of his sons and also a of a loser king. This role is perfectly played by THAKOOR ANUP SINGH. Secondly, the role of Krishna was perfectly played by Sarabh Raj Jain. His smiles and style of talking makes his best for the role. Though his birth and arrival is shown much later but he is seen giving life lessons to People after every show. He is realistic person who knows that without destroying evil with sword there cannot be peace in the world and we have to accept our own lose to in the process and persuade Pandavas to believe in that. On Karna's death when Pandavas mourn realising that Karna was their elder brother, Krishna is seen emotionless, as if he knew everything that is going to happen. At the end when Gandhari curses him for the Warfare out of pain of losing children he accepts her Curse too. This perfect role of god (someone above all emotions & desires) is perfectly played by Surabh Raj Jain. Still there could've been better Make Up of the actors. The actors specially the famale roles are shown to remain Young even when their Children reaches youth. And also there is many many unnecessary dramatic scenes, this will make many people bore, as in this modern age we value time very much. This two things could've been better. Once again Thanks to the makers of this Mahabharat show of Star Plus.
