Having watched the trailer, it feels like it's leaning far, far too heavily on the original, like it's more Gladiator Rehash than Gladiator II. Stolen shots, stolen camera angles, stolen armour themes: It feels all a bit too derivative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After this one it'll be the prequel,,,, 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Prawn Posted July 9, 2024 Report Share Posted July 9, 2024 It was never made but the musician Nick Cave wrote a sequel to the original with Maximus returning from the afterlife and fighting through all the wars in history up to the modern day - can’t imagine why they passed on that gem!

For me the best scene was the battle in the forest at the start. "Unleash hell". Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Hollywood" are getting desperate to keep the money rolling in and piggybacking off of a great movie is a good way to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B686 Posted July 10, 2024 Report Share Posted July 10, 2024 My cousin worked on the special effects for the first one and went up to collect the Oscar when they won . He was sat at a table with Sylvester Stallone and Russel crow . He said Stallone was a lovely bloke but russel crow an arrogant ****. My mum still has it on vhs video . Him collecting the Oscar.

SuperGoose75 Posted July 10, 2024 Report Share Posted July 10, 2024 Paul Mescal has come a long way from advertising Denny's sausages to bedding Daisy Edgar-Jones and now a gladiator! PS can't see it being nowhere near as the original. And Russell Crowe was 5 miles away from me in a near bye village last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted July 10, 2024 Report Share Posted July 10, 2024 I never liked Denzel since Crimson Tide, but I have to admit, he is normally excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
