Gladiator 2 4/10
Gladiator fucking RULES. I have been maximus decimus meridius twice for Halloween, and I know the speech off by heart, and I am a huge nerd for rome.
HOWEVER
This was rubbish.
Paul mescal? Totally miscast, I do not see why everyone raves about him, completely unconvincing.
Denzel? What the fuck was going on here? Is he on meth or something? Did he get a new set of teeth that make him twitch and tweak? Terrible performance but you can see that he thinks it's a genius turn.
Plot was particularly bad. None of it made any sense. Rubbish.
Somehow the gladiator bits kept the film trucking along and it did look nice (aside from the CGI baboons at the start).
