Gladiator II

Just watched this. It started out decent enough and then as the plot progressed the film became more and more stupid. The whole film was trying to cling on to the coat-tails of the first film.

A pretty rubbish film overall. Won't be watching it again. 4/10 at best.

Don't even get me started on the zombie baboons and shark naval battles.
 
I personally would have bigger issues with the fact that denzel washington's acting seems distractingly awful in it (without wantint to be controversial by the way, how do they justify a black man with so much power in the roman empire?
For realism, I'd be pointing at the bloke stood on a rhino
 
I preferred Denzel's acting to Mecal's. He really didnt seem that bother throughout! Wasn't a huge fan of the 2nd. Didn't realise my other half hadn't seen the first one before we watched it, so watched the first the next day. Still holds up as a great film. Still remember going to the cinema to watch it with my parents! (I was 13)
 
Been turning out dross for ages now, baffles me how he gets these large scale budgets for anything anymore.
I know where you're going with this, and I will die on the hill that says prometheus and covenant were not the worst things i watched that year.

Was thinking more about Napoleon actually but yeah his 2 alien movies were more than a bit ****. :p
You know, as much of a ridley scott fanboy as I can be, I completely forgot about that film. I think it's partially because when I had just gotten the desire to watch it, i had just come out of an advanced screening of folie à deux and would have been quite content never to have seen Joaquin Phoenix ever again. lol
