This film feels more like a cheap horror film than a historical epic. The eerie atmosphere, unsettling fight scenes, and disturbing visualsโespecially the hairless baboonsโmake it a creepy experience. Denzel Washingtonโs chilling performance adds to the unease, and the brutal battles feel more grotesque than thrilling. If you expect the grandeur of the original, this darker, unsettling sequel might surprise you
