I thought this was terrific. If you park your brain a bit regarding some of the historical details, this is a hugely enjoyable romp that I found thoroughly entertaining. Read more

The return of the swords and sandals action epic from the master himself captures some of the magic of the original, but doesn’t come close to touching its legacy. Read more

It probably won’t be in the best-of-the-year territory, but Scott’s sense of historic action spectacle, Washington’s performance, and the exceptional production design and costuming make this film more than worth the price of admission. Read more

Gladiator II delivers an often exhilarating, mainly gorgeous spectacle populated by enigmatic characters performed admirably. It does not live up to Gladiator. But what could? Read more

Without hesitation, the two-time Oscar winner turns Gladiator II into his own smorgasbord, quite frankly because he can. Despite noble sternness from Pablo Pascal and Connie Nielsen and the springboard vaulting the All of Us Strangers indie darling Paul Mescal to the mainstream stratosphere as an action star, Washington outclasses every actor he shares the screen with, again, quite frankly because he can.

It lacks awe-inspiring visuals, a commanding central performance, entertaining villains and a narrative we can get behind from the start. Like the real life Coliseum, it's impressive that it got made, but Gladiator II leaves us dreaming about the past. Read more

Hoewel het verhaal de formule van het origineel grotendeels volgt, maakt de adembenemende cinematografie, het spectaculaire acteerwerk en de bombastische soundtrack dat meer dan goed. Gladiator II is een waardige opvolger die niet alleen eer bewijst aan zijn voorganger, maar ook op eigen kracht imponeert. Read more

Gladiator II staat zonder meer in de schaduw van zijn voorganger, maar als stoer actiespektakel zorgt de film voor flink wat vermaak. Read more

Hoewel Gladiator II wat voorspelbaar is en nooit de status van het origineel zal evenaren, bewijst Ridley Scott dat hij op hoge leeftijd nog steeds een scherp oog heeft voor spektakel, dat zonder twijfel het best tot zijn recht komt op het grote witte doek. Read more

Met Gladiator 2 brengt Ridley Scott het ware Spartacus-verhaal naar boven in een Hollywood epos, maar het is niet zijn voorganger. Read more
