Big fan of the original gladiator, so I was very much looking forward to it.
Opening scene was CGI, and you could reallllly tell, which was surprising. My biggest qualm is that the character development was quite lacking, I felt no connection to anyone in the movie, while the original really invoked a lot of emotion. The lines felt lazy and sometimes off, and again the CGI was just obvious and it left a bad taste in my mouth. Overall i left the movie thinking “meh”, wasn’t impressed by any of the acting either.
