Don't get too excited. Most of these positive reviewers who got an invite to a private screening are just fulfilling their part of the deal. Which is to hype up the movie (but also criticize it slightly so that it's believable) and make you want to see it despite the general consensus being mid.
@@ajnunez8788 your not them tho, and the others willingly wanna wait. those who wanna watch there would went. some have alot of schedules too. they aint no mr beast.
This has been getting really good early reviews which is making me even more excited for when me and my dad watch it together in theaters. I’m pumped for this
@ thanks I likely will. I’m a huge Ridley Scott fan mainly because of the amazing visuals. It’s why I like Prometheus and alien covenant as well as napoleon more than most. So if it has his awesome scenery and cinematography I’ll definitely be happy
@ 1) how did it flop it’s not even officially out yet? 2) I’m talking about movie reviewing channel who go to early screenings and love movies not to make money. I’m tired of people thinking the only reason some people like movies is because they are actually good? Believe it or not some people actually have opinions.
I was so surprised that Denzel was my favorite character in this film . Also I really appreciate Pedro's subverted General as an honest good man, similar to Maximus.
Ridley Scott's last real hit was The Martian 9yrs ago! Absolutely no chance with its reported $250-310m production budget that Gladiator 2 has a decent shot of being profitable theatrically :( For context, his other big hit in the 2000 Gladiator Movie grossed $465.5m worldwide on a $103m production budget (not adjusted for inflation).
It sounds like if you liked the first film you'll enjoy Gladiator 2. There's a generational aspect that will probably make it profitable at the box office.
Overly melodramatic at times, but it was surprisingly good & definitely fun/beautiful. Also, Denzel wasn't 'out of place' as some thought it would be. Great one to see in cinema's for the visuals. Also, one of the coolest intro / title screens ever imo. If you set nostalgia aside, I think it's ALMOST as good as the first one, definitely not much of a difference
It was a good time out. Was kinda surprised ppl clapped at the end of it. I thought that was more reserved for kids to do but hey if you're feeling it go ahead
@@jacktheripper2746 close to an 8. It's not my fav movie of the year or anything, would pick Dune 2, Wild Robot, Longlegs, Furiosa, maybe Juror #2 or Kinds Of Kindness over it from 'bigger cinema' releases, but I'd put Gladiator II up there with & probably above Alien Romulus, Beetlejuice, The Substance, Inside Out 2, Deadpool & Wolverine, Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes, The Fall Guy, A Quiet Place etc. Def better than Hit Man, Joker II, Venom III.
Funny enough, the Romans and Ancient Greeks would have looked more like variations of the guy on the left than what we are typically used to seeing them depicted as, great video guys
Are you not entertained lol. Strength and honor. My only issue is the retcon of Lucius being Maximus' son. They should've not done that but still will watch it. Denzel's character reminds me of Oliver Reed's Proximo but with a slight difference where he seeks power. Also from the looks of it Peter Mensah is the friend, ally to Lucius just as Juba was a friend and ally to Maximus.
@@lavinder11 yeah. Maximus had a son and a wife in the first film that got murdered by Commados in the first film. Lucius already had a father that had died years prior and Maximus was already married with a wife and kid as they were waiting for him to return after the war.
10:25 i went to Rome between the first and second gladiator? Weird thing to say versus I've been to Rome and.... This is the 2nd review vid I've seen about this movie and these 2 are pretty cool and spot on about the movie. Good job guys
It has been said that Keanu Reeves is the internet's boyfriend. This is false. Pedro Pascal is the internet's boyfriend. Keanu Reeves is the internet's daddy.
ridley scott noticed that he couldn't really keep up with the power of the cast. even though there are some very good actors. but it looks like the typical cgi overload movie again. how much was there that made you give it a good rating?
Movies need a cutthroat person that can nix CGI thats not necessarily bad they work very hard on it. Just someone that can say its not working, it takes me out of the movie.
Aight Also not rly interested in watching this one but I do work at a cinema so will see a scene or two when entering to check the venues and take the temperature Also the ending while waiting for ppl to leave so I can clean 😂
$$$$, ego or he just has a love for it. Just glad I didn't pay for it. Not saying it's bad but it didn't need to be made. The TV shows and other inspirations it spawned were it's (the first movie) legacy
Not gonna bother watching this one sorry The trailer has a scene where a damn mammoth sized rhino charges at a human and he just gets flung off to the side instead of turned into burger meat. The original gladiator was a realistic movie. This is not. Pass. 0/10.
(ill avoid spoilers incase anyone acturally wants to watch this film, id suggest wait until it comes out in streaming) That was pretty garbage ngl the film felt so rushed, so much was going on and nothing really landed, denzel just acting like denzel should of just been a no named cause he just took over the film and made it pretty boring tbh, only good part was the fighting scenes but even they got cut short like crazy. script was just atrocious honestly like I'm confused why this was even made in the first place. This film needed to go back into the oven for a few more years cause that was so underwhelming to watch. This could of been such an amazing film I feel robbed of my time.
@@Sebastian04223 So true. Why rely on the opinions of others about a movie, when so many have an obvious bias to their ratings on a movie they haven’t seen?
Him liking things that you don't like doesn't make him a "shill", it's just what he likes. Everyone has a different opinions. Also, only a real man can pull off that sweater and he totally is.

TOMORROW - John & Aaron's *REACTION* To The First Gladiator Movie Goes Up!
I was going to see this movie solely for the GOAT Denzel Washington, but I’m getting more excited for the entire movie now.
I don't think you'll be disappointed
Denzel definitely isn't the goat lol
@@RyanG0899yes he is
@@RyanG0899go rinse your mouth with soap...and take your meds

its how crazy how some of the rejects aren't allowed to go watch it, cause they have to film a reaction lmao
Yeah Its kinda stupid. I’d sneak off and watch it on my own. Ain’t no way I’m lettin those clowns tell me what to do
@@ajnunez8788 your not them tho, and the others willingly wanna wait. those who wanna watch there would went. some have alot of schedules too. they aint no mr beast.
Modern day slavery 😂
Although jokes apart i think those guys will also see the movie in the theatre but phone in the reaction 😂😂
@@ajnunez8788 it's literally their job tho 💀
@@thatsbad100 They're paid.
This has been getting really good early reviews which is making me even more excited for when me and my dad watch it together in theaters. I’m pumped for this
It's an okay time out. Hope y'all enjoy it!

the early reviews are paid and the movie flopped btw

Greg could play a distant cousin to Mr. Zaddy Pascal, easily. Great look man! Great costume too.
Oh my god lol, Pascal and Mescal DO look like Roman coins!
What Actor Would YOU Want To See Join The Gladiator Franchise?!
Tom Hardy
tommy wiseau , i think he could give a very dramatic performence. He could direct and write it too
@@Desmondpbullock79 oh yeah true that
Nick Cage. No particular reason. Just think it would be cool.
Jared Harris, legacy and all. He just looks like he would be comfortable in a ruler type role.
I'm glad you guys loved it. I'll be seeing it in IMAX opening weekend or during the following week if the weekend is too crowded.

I'd be surprised if it doesn't break even bc of ticket price. It drops on the a holiday wkend and, hopefully, has no competition
We'll see....
@@tanielap624how about WICKED!!!!
It will need to make a billion dollars just to break even. 310 million budget plus advertising which is another 150 million. Ya it’s going to flop.
Great review y’all! Loved the movie too! Love the costume Greg 😂👍
One of my first movie me and my husband watched ❤ 25 years later going to watch gladiator two I can’t wait ❤

my thoughts on movies are it was okay or it sucked. This one was okay
What would you rate it on a scale of 1-10?

"Timmy...Do you,like movies about gladiators??"
I got that reference 😂
11:50 “The scope of it all”. That’s an understatement for IMAX with certain films.
Going to see this....maybe more than once 🙂
Great Review Greg and Coy! 👍
"These men look like coins." 💀
Funny enough, the Romans and Ancient Greeks would have looked more like variations of the guy on the left than what we are typically used to seeing them depicted as, great video guys
or they would look like most modern romans (Italians) and Greeks.
@@greyambrosia Because of european migration and freedom of movement, Italians and Greeks look more generalized and white now.
Why is Koi wearing his Grandmother's sweater?
Saw it last week so good
Nice outfit Greg, any excuse to get the guns out 😂
Love that sweater, Coy.
Definitely 😍

@Brook11223 Your just spoiled part of the plot.
@@lavinder11 the first movie came out like 24 years ago. It's not my fault you didn't watch it.
@@lavinder11 the first movie came out 24 years ago. You should've had plenty of time to watch it. If you didn't watch it's not my fault lol.
Saw it tonight. Agreed , the first half was ticking along, but then the air escaped from the plot. I could;nt believe the ending.... grrrr
Are you not entertained?
OK, Greg. Coming through with the biceps, I see you! LOL
We need a side-by-side with Paul and Greg standing in uniform/costume!
Every actor "jumped" to act with Ridley ..Even " Fauda" Actoro & Priducer Lior Raz [ Fauda].. Everyone
Clicked for the review. Stayed for the gun show
You make movie watching very exciting. Thank you. You guys are awesome.
hopefully it's good
It's aight
Damn, I got to get in shape after seeing Greg in shape
It’s a decent sequel
It’s not great as first but definitely good
10:25 i went to Rome between the first and second gladiator? Weird thing to say versus I've been to Rome and....
This is the 2nd review vid I've seen about this movie and these 2 are pretty cool and spot on about the movie. Good job guys
Mister Fantastic and Human Torch: Gladiator Training
It's got Didley Squats signature Kingdom of Heaven and God's of Egypt post filter to it. 😬
So lucias is Maximus's son
Hey hey hey shhhhh hahaha
It has been said that Keanu Reeves is the internet's boyfriend. This is false. Pedro Pascal is the internet's boyfriend. Keanu Reeves is the internet's daddy.
Y'all got a few teasers to react to that just dropped today!
I knew Coy was a Coors man. Good taste in film and good taste in beer
FWIW, I think you two would make great gladiators!
Liked strictly for the cosplay...😂
So excited for this film
Wait!
There's sequel?
I'm more focused on Greg's big guns than the review.
Dang! Who’s big guy with the dreads?!
Nobody beats the original
A very impressive step up from Napoleon from what I gather lol
Should of just watched the first movie, watching the second I just thought it would be better off as stand alone film, using the first as gimmick
Wow you liked it. That's keeps the list of movies you didn't like at 0 lol
There's plenty of movies they didn't like, there's just not too man that they "hate".
W to Jasmine.
You did not say if you liked the actor's performance in this that was in stranger things and a quiet place day one
Did you see the Mission: Impossible: The Final Reckoning trailer?
First off it the year 200ad and the brothers father was the emperor It not very historcal
I’m not going to let yall ruin this for me
bros looking buff
Not having Denzel in the thumbnail...is a choice lol
He isn't the main character so...
@@RyanG0899doesn't he become the main villain halfway through?
My mums favourite, will she be disappointed?
Dune 2 is still the oscar darlijg then ❤
sadly is not historic like first one
Nor is the first one
The first isn’t historic….At all. Not even a little bit.
Stop bullshit..historians been debunk that accuracy of the first one. It’s a fantasy.
Neither was the first one bud
What part of the first one is historic exactly?
ridley scott noticed that he couldn't really keep up with the power of the cast. even though there are some very good actors. but it looks like the typical cgi overload movie again. how much was there that made you give it a good rating?
🎉🎉🎉
How did u watch it it’s not even out yet
It's what one would call an early Premier or an early screening. If you don't get an invite to one, it's hella expensive.
Yeah im good with the first one. Just please stop
Movies need a cutthroat person that can nix CGI thats not necessarily bad they work very hard on it. Just someone that can say its not working, it takes me out of the movie.
👀
I just finished watching it
Is it worth watching
Saw it months ago it was alright
XD
They flooded the Colosseum with fresh water though, and they didn't cart sharks thousands of miles to Rome. Sharks don't even live in the Med!
i didn't like it all, totally overrated.
am i the only one who didn't saw the first Gladiator
SEE IT
Please watch it. You gonna love it
Go watch it, before seeing this one
Aight
Also not rly interested in watching this one but I do work at a cinema so will see a scene or two when entering to check the venues and take the temperature
Also the ending while waiting for ppl to leave so I can clean 😂
I only watched it for the first time this past weekend, in preparation for the sequel next weekend. Really enjoyed it!
The movie is horrible. The worst movie Ridley Scott has ever made.
@barbara_briar it's a copy of the old movie plus it has a terrible script and too many side plots that lead to nowhere. I was rather disappointed.
It's crapand anyone who says it good is very short sighted and lacking intellect
Let me guess: You got an Invitation by the Movie Company for a Preview Screening and now your fulfilling your part of the deal.
They've gotten invites before and have said that they don't like the movie whenever they don't like the movie.
You guys talk nonsense
Ridley, why...
$$$$, ego or he just has a love for it. Just glad I didn't pay for it. Not saying it's bad but it didn't need to be made. The TV shows and other inspirations it spawned were it's (the first movie) legacy
Pedro Pascal is insufferable. He ruins the immersion for me in any movie he is in.
Mescal is the weakest part of the film, not Pedro
A movie we did not need.
Saw it. We didn't need it. It wasn't bad at all but it should've stayed in the developmental stage and that's it
honestly the first was ok some major historic failures though but this one ............ a total crap on my opinion ..........
Not gonna bother watching this one sorry
The trailer has a scene where a damn mammoth sized rhino charges at a human and he just gets flung off to the side instead of turned into burger meat.

He is lying. Movie is trash 😂
He isn't lying, it's his opinion.
Just because you don't like something doesn't make it trash, it makes it your opinion.
From the trailers, utter rubbish with a nonentity lead.
If Soy Coy likes this movie I know it’s terrible, the dude is an absolute shill.
Plus who goes outside with a sweater like that lol.
I’m seeing a lot of others say it’s good so you shouldn’t judge. give it a shot
nobody enjoys your company in real life, they’re all pretending
