What did I think?hadn't watched since 2000
>>220932355overrated
>>220932902Oof, it really went downhill in the third act. The screenplay felt very cheap. I think Quintus needed an actual arc that gradually made him turn against Joaquin Phoenix's character and sympathize with Maximus before the end.
It's only gotten better with age

>>220934316is the sequel worth marathoning?
Never understood the hype for this movie, its mid outside the gladiator fight scenes
>>220932902EXTREMELY overrated, frankly an awful story, terrible dialogue, retarded protagonist, the only good things about gladiator are the musical score and Yakeen Feenix as the villain.
>>220934389The only good thing about the sequel is Denzel Washington's performance.
now that the reddit crowd is done calling it overrated I think it's a pretty good action movie with a very good score
It's good if you aren't aware how inaccurate to history it is. It becomes offensively dumb otherwise.
>>220934922yep still holds up to me. really love the sets and filming locations
>>220934389It's worth a watch but don't expect kino like the first one. Denzel is great as usual
>>220934976this is pure midwittery. go on and take a shot at every single shakespeare play for not being a biographical account. it feels historically authentic enough
>>220935020Commodus was indeed a horrible and hated emperor, he really did love gladiator fights too much, he really participated in them, and his opponents really would be gimped by having lead swords or, exactly like Maximus, be wounded before the fight.
>>220935143keep fighting that strawman
>>220935236i dont know what that means, but will do.
