If it weren't for Gladiator 1 existing and being as incredible and unique an experience as it was I'd give this movie a 3/5, however it does exist and this just apes it at every turn imaginable.
Moreover, Denzel Washington delivers one of his laziest most phoned in performances of all time and the rest of the cast manages to somehow land some of the most uninteresting vanilla experiences I can remember recently in any big budget picture.
If you want a fantastic experience in this setting with action, drama and soul you should watch the original Gladiator and not waste 2 hours of your life on this lackluster forgettable embarrassment that spits in the face of it's predecessor.
