Gladiator 2 Official Thread - For those who are about to die, we salute you. (1 Viewer)

A couple of youtube reviewers are saying some not so amazing things. Its apparently very much a re-hash of the original story. But I guess we'll see.
 
Are we sure we watched the same movie? How would he be a super hero?

I don't know, the cartoonish way in which he was able to just kill everybody who appeared before him? How he magically appeared back in Rome after being kidnapped to Africa? I think I rolled my eyes so many times I ended up starting into my skull cavity.

I dont think he magically appeared anywhere. The games were banned in Rome, which is why he was taken to Africa....then Commodus reinstates the games, so they have to get fighters from somewhere it was already legal :shrug:

You want to make the argument that a couple of the fights are a bit over the top....maybe I buy that. But I'm pretty sure thats kind of the point of making a movie about a hero soldier. And I dont think any of the fights were over the top absurd like John Wick. (which I still LOVE by the way)

I'd argue that the William Wallace character suviving the main battles in Braveheart was far more ridiculous based on what we saw on film.
 
Hey you don't have to like the movie if you don't like that type of story arc...... I was just curious

But Die Hard, John Wick, are Gladiatoresque :shrug:

*all which I love - same for Braveheart

Do you like John Wick? Serious question

Never seen it. Shoot em ups and action movies do very little for me.

Wallace at least had an army with him and did die in the end. But nobody can beat the great Gladiator! No siree, he beat them all. And now he's making sequels!

These are ridiculous

Is the plot Keanu Reeves kills everybody because his dog died?

I can't remember. It was so bad I don't even remember how he died. Was it tigers?

As far as I know.

He definitely isn’t seriously hurt and survives 16,987,333,984,021 rounds being fired at him.
 
First off he's the greatest assassin ever to have lived
Second his suits are bullet proof

I'm sorry all your movies have to be based in your reality. Seems like limited selections ;)

Is his head bulletproof?

And for being the greatest assassin ever to have lived, he sure gets in a lot of HUGE gun battles with multiple opponents. Stealth not a strong point?
 
I loved Gladiator. Great story. Great casting. Amazing performances. Just an overall fantastic movie for me.

I loved Braveheart. I remember how it took the world by storm. Mel just nailed it with his performance. Just great performances by so many people. Nothing to not like about this movie.

John Wick. Good movie. Not in the same zip code for me as the above two. Not hard to follow. He basically kills everyone. Don't mess with a man's dog.
 
I loved the first one in the theater. Upon re-watch I still liked it but had forgotten some of the really absurd parts that I somehow overlooked. Will see this one in the theater after Thanksgiving.
