Atom User Reviews for Gladiator II
As a Fan of the original Gladiator, I feel the continuation was perfectly executed. Incorporating characters of the original film, amazingly done. I went in expecting a horrible sequel and it ended up surprising me. Great job on the film! Will probably go and see it again…
The sequel no one asked for
Worth the wait. 24 years !!!!!!
Underwhelming. They were trying to force it. Definitely could have waited until Netflix or another streaming service picked it up.
Comes so close to being a good movie, if not a great one, but misses a few key marks in the writing. We needed to connect more with the main character, to understand his motivations and reasoning more. But as it is, it just feels hollow; devoid of any real depth or…
It was pretty good but before seeing this one should definitely watch the first movie
Better stay in home
It was fine. Was it as good as the first, no. Was it a decent sequel, sure. Did some scenes just kind of wrap up without any idea of how, yes. If you're expecting 2000 Gladiator this isn't for you. Also It definitely plays on nostalgia.
compared to Part 1 this movie has very underdeveloped characters very ambiguous and confusing intentions specially Denzel Washington's character. everybody played their part excellent but there are no characters at the level of Russell crow or joaquin phoenix. high…
Not a good sequel.
A great movie, highly recommend seeing it on the biggest screeen you
Heavy fighting, minimal storyline
no character building, was not able to capture any attachment to any of the characters and you definitely feel the length of the movie plus CGI mess
Phenomenal movie. Expectations were definitely exceeded, I recommend it 100%
Fantastic sequel to the (2000) original!
I really enjoyed this movie!! Action was good and wow Denzel is just a legend!!!!
This movie had so much action you literally move in your seat with every blow the actors endured. So FAR… From all the new releases movies I so far seen in this year for 2024 this is the best movie. It caters to a large audience of new fans.
Bad casting, anticlimactic, lacked gravitas
Movie was amazing but ending fell short.
l did not like the visual effects but everything else was top notch. Shout out T-Mobile for making the price of admission cheaper!
best movie in 2024
Denzel for Oscar
a must see !
It was a good watch, lots of action and really good up close fight scenes. The plot was a bit corny at times, but overall a great film.
Strength and Honor
Plot made no sense.
SMH…sigh
not as food as the 1st, but still a good watch.
Watch it only for Denzel
besides making the colosseum into waterworld...it was a pretty good sequel.
Very good movie, would watch it again
It really was just all over the place in my opinion but not too bad had good action but story line dragged
Good actionpacked but not as intense as the first Gladiator which was real heartpounding
This is two thumbs up and definitely want to see it again!
Reviewers too often like hearing themselves talk. Or in this case, reading themselves type. One reviewer said the plot didn't make sense. The plot made perfect sense. This is a good movie. See it.
Great job connecting both movies together! amazing movie!
I loved it!! Denzel was great.
Amazing!
I had forgot to rewatch the first movie and I’m glad I didn’t because this one held up to the first one. A great date night movie and a must see!!!
10/10 LOVED IT!!
Barf. in this economy? Save your money.
Some parts were boring
I like the way they stitched both parts together, good cast
Excellent movie
Fricken amazing! See it on the biggest screen possible!
There were some snooze scenes. Overall pretty good.
I really liked this sequel. It kept the heart and energy of the original while also bringing in new characters that are nearly fleshed out. The wardrobe and scenery definitely made this world bigger. I however didn’t like certain lines, especially an overly repeated line,…
Plot was not that good. I wish they would stop making sequels. Save your money
Another great one!!!
My mouth was open in awe
Metacritic
Washington has the most fun, swishing about in dangling jewels and flowing robes, while Mescal—one of our best young actors—struggles to define Lucius outside of Crowe’s shadow. As for the relentless fights and battles, I found them to be increasingly tedious—even the wild ones with animals, given their reliance on CGI effects.
All of Ridley Scott's glorious pageantry is undercut by a script tragically burdened by cliches and characters who make stupid choices.
Like so many latter-day Ridley Scott films, Gladiator II at once feels half-baked and overstuffed, and the lack of internal consistency robs its action of sustained tension and its comedy of bite.
