Gladiator 2 - (Ridley Scott/Nov 22nd)

[Ziggiy]

History Buffs YT crushed this shyt af as historical accuracy. Ultimately for me, that means something.

I have no idea why anyone would go into any movie, let alone a RIDLEY SCOTT movie expecting historical accuracy. Ridley Scott has said time and time again he doesn’t give a rip roaring fukk about historical accuracy.

6/10 not impressed but it wasn’t a bad movie on the higher end of mid but still meh

I thought Denzil not doing the accent thing would break immersion, but honestly, it kind of works to carry the film, which is weird. I wasn’t expecting that, but all in all meh movie.

Denzel's accent/lack of isn't as bad as Luis Guzman in Count of Monte Cristo? His ish in that is straight BK PR...the director said in the commentary "eff it, he's a pirate anyway."

Severus proclaimed Caracalla co-ruler in 198, doing the same with his other son Geta in 209. The two brothers briefly shared power after their father's death in 211, but Caracalla soon had Geta murdered by the Praetorian Guard and became sole ruler of the Roman Empire

some nice set pieces but plot and story get worse and worse as the movie progreses

It had its ups and downs but It was cool. Didn’t like Denzel at first until he started cooking. He’s not meant to play some gender fluid weird gay guy. I think it’s worth the ticket in theaters because most movies aren’t anymore.

Was hoping y’all was judging it too harshly, but naw I couldn’t even finish it. I could tell it was just a one man show from Denzel doing his thing and of course I could tell my boy Pedro gonna always act his ass off. But the main character was so unlikable It just bored the fukk outta me. I didn’t find any of the other characters interesting. Maybe I need to try again. I cut it off 50 minutes into it .

Disgustya sticky.

Waa meh to me

Felt like more of a tribute to the first movie than it's own good movie. The 1st one was just too epic. Maybe it was too hard for them to really flesh out the characters. You only get a surface level knowledge of them. Just felt like the movie was just checking off a list.

And Denzel was just Alonzo from training day. Thought he was gonna yell at the armies they'll be playing ball in pelican Bay after he's done with them.

Speaking of the Count of Monte Cristo. Everyone should download the French version that came out this year. It’s three hours and a banger. Or better see it in theaters apparently it’s out there this weekend in some places.

Denzel was fine. People were talking like he was reenacting Training Day
This movie was OK
the lead was OK
kinda convenient he just happened to be Maximus' son
the emperors sucked
Denzel was the true villain, but his motivation and heel turn were puzzling

Movie is a struggle watch like BP 1 and BP 2
