‘Gladiator 2’ is coming soon to theaters
It has been years since I have watched Gladiator. I remember it being a pretty good movie that had a stellar cast in it. There was tons of action and some strong dramatic moments. When I heard a sequel was being made I had doubts if it would be good or not. I was able to attend a screening of this sequel and here is my thoughts on it.

You can read the plot for Gladiator 2 here:
Years after witnessing the death of the revered hero Maximus at the hands of his uncle, Lucius (Paul Mescal) is forced to enter the Colosseum after his home is conquered by the tyrannical Emperors who now lead Rome with an iron fist. With rage in his heart and the future of the Empire at stake, Lucius must look to his past to find strength and honor to return the glory of Rome to its people.

Gladiator 2 gets 7/10. I ended up liking this sequel more than I thought I would. This film has a strong beginning, and is pretty exciting for the most part. The ending is where it loses momentum. It feels longer than it should, and wasn’t as satisfying as you expected it to be. Most people will enjoy this sequel but it won’t be for everyone.
