Ooo yes. Herectic I am excited for.

Gladiator 2 I am terrified about haha cause the first one is one of my favorites. But will definitely see it on the big screen.

It's not amazing by any means but if you want to scratch that gladiator itch those about to die on peacock was actually entertaining. Iwan Rheon was the best part and some of the action scenes even with some shitty cgi were pretty fun.

I'm hoping it gets a season 2 but I'm a sucker for anything with gladiators and I'd absolutely have had season tickets if I lived in that era lol

Bottomline for this particular movie is if you are not going into the theater with an open mind or not expecting an unorthodox musical, then you will hate it.

If you are prepared for it or knew for years that this movie will be this way, or walk into the theater with an open mind then I think you will enjoy it.

I understand both sides. I can see why many people despise it, but I can understand why some really liked it, because I enjoyed it.

I think the Batman fans are probably mad that this isn’t going to connect to anything. The venom for thr movie makes zero sense even if it’s not a great movie. Alien Romulus wasn’t great but because it catered to thr hardcore Alien fanbase it was well received while Prometheus and Covenenat were not.

The most recent trailer for Gladiator 2 makes it seem very dark like even the "hero" isn't much a hero so much as it's a tale of the lesser of evils vs the worse evil and trying to survive the political landscape of the time. Looks better than I expected at this point but nothing will beat the original imo.

It's probably better than the original idea for Gladiator 2 where Maximus gets sent back from the afterlife like 20 years later and Lucius is basically the new Commodus. Oh, and then Maximus ends up showing up in various wars throughout history, Wolverine style.

Plus you can get this...
