Im sorry but i preffer this over the 2000s classic.
The pacing was much better and i preffer denzel washington over pheonix.
I can't tell what people's problem is with mescal, he is was great(not as great as russel crow)
Also the two brothers weren't that amazing but i think joseph quinn was not as bad as people said.Also im of the opinion that people should stop complaining when a sequel has the same setup but entirely different things that make it its owne.
Yes both gladiator films are the same story wise if you read the synopsis or asked your friend.
Both are about gladiators who dear ones died in a malicious act by someone and they have to fight there way out of a colloseum but so many in things in between that is different and fresh enough in my opinion.
Gladiator II
Prepare to be entertained.

I'm going to be honest, I couldn't stay awake unless Denzel was talking. Denzel's still got it. I don't think he'll ever lose it.
