Atom User Reviews
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 this weekend.
The sequel no one asked for
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.
