Gladiator 2 is everything that could possibly be wrong with a movie, thrown into a giant pot and praying that nostalgia is enough to garner views.
There is nothing interesting about this movie... From the very start, they are killing off characters that you have no background, story or care for in the world. The action ALWAYS ends before it even begins. Every single scene that you could even begin to this "Oh this is neat" ends immediately in the most anti-climatic way.
None of the characters are interesting. None of the characters are unique or meaningful in any manner.... The Twins are the most ridiculous bad guys I've ever seen in the movie, and turn the "Empire of Rome" in to the most laughable nonsensical regime ever.
It's so disappointing that this is the "sequel" to Gladiator, but even without Gladiator being the successor, it's one of the worst films I've ever seen. Take away all the Gladiator references and the movie still isn't good. It is riddled with plot holes, riddled with mindless cuts that make no sense and half of the plot is an absolute joke.
