[Film] GLADIATOR 2

Greg Bobkin said:

These are a good film.

Gladiator is Mrs Bobkin's favourite ever film and we went to see the second one last Sunday. Absolutely loved it and I actually thought it was better than the original (I've watched it loads of times, because of the above!).

Mescal was pretty good, I thought. Probably not as strong as Crowe, but a convincing lead who grew throughout the film.

Opinions, eh?

Just come back from the cinema. It bored me sh*tless. Mescal was terrible. The sharks
Sorry, it was a dreadful film.

It's ok. Basically it follows the plot of the original almost step by step, but doesn't do any of it even half as well. Mescus was a weak casting option, he drags the whole production down. How he got the part I'll never know. Plus the sharks and baboons are just silly.

It's not boring. It's just all a bit...meh.

I've got a horrible feeling that Rob is going to be right.

Saw the fantastic Blitz at the flicks and they showed the trailer for Gladiator 2 - it was greeted with laughter by most people present. Personally as a history obsessive I found the original a bunch of old cobblers patched together with epic action. Especially as I'm a big fan of the Gracchi brothers, both of whom had been murdered several centuries before the Coliseum was constructed (Flavian Amphitheatre).
