GLADIATOR II should be titled GLADIATOR sTWOpid!!! If you already were not aware that Rome was once a dream, in fact it was merely a whisper of a dream from the original GLADIATOR you’re certain to be hammered over the head with it in this insipid and vapid sequel. The story takes place in only 9 short days once they get back to Rome. Keep that in my when you try to figure out how many fights have to take place and how long it would take to turn the arena into a huge pool filled with sharks! This is only the tip of the stupidity of this film. HARD PASS…this film makes me happy Rome Fell because now there cannot be a 3rd film
