Have to leave a star as no option to leave blank. Opening scene was action packed with gruesome fighting, as you'd expect. However this changed very quickly. Paul Mescal (Lucius) had no conviction within the role of Lucius. Denzel Washington 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️. This is an amazing actor. But his performance was very poor. I felt that he didn't believe in the character he was portraying. As for Connie Nielsen ( lucius mother). There's absolutely no words for her extremely terrible acting. I have no clue what the two brothers (emperors) brought to the film other than more shabby acting. I had high expectations for this film and the first Gladiator was and still is one of the most amazing films in history. Overall Gladiator 2 is a complete let down. No true direction, poor acting throughout and a total waste of money and 2hr 30mins of your life your never get back.
