I feel like you never really gave it a chance from the sounds of it. Your judgement appears to already have been made up subconsciously from back when you reviewed (and hated) the trailer of the movie.
You may be right ... maybeeee. I think I still went in with an open mind as shortly before I'd seen reviews saying it was Ridley Scott's best in years, so I had expectations either way. Yes I didn't like the trailer, but even when I haven't liked trailers in the past I reckon I'm still capable of enjoying the movie if it's good. I don't think my expectations negate my criticisms such as poorly developed villains and confused plot threads not working well together - but maybe some audience members will choose not worry about those aspects as much
funny, i have been using the comparing of the force awakens as well to warn my friends. its an all style little substance movie drenched in nostalgia bait. 75% you have seen before and its done better. it hurts my brain to actually see so many raving reviews, some people claiming it to be the best movie of the year some even say the past decade lol. showing pretty much how much Hollywood has been dummyfying its crowd successfully. this movie looks great but there is absolutely nothing that will stick years from now
Mate really appreciate your comment I couldn't agree more!!! I really agree with you, even for me I didn't really think it looked great either, I much prefer the look of the original. I feel bad saying that people are wrong for enjoying it but I can't help agreeing with you, we deserve better original cinema!!!
one more thing the epic shots being so short im pretty sure its a budget thing, during production there where rumors how the spending went out of hand. epic wide shots full of cgi are very expensive, so longer of these kind of shots will have a massive impact on the budget
Hahah yep Ridley has gone bonkers with his spending! Even though it was made 24 years ago the original Gladiator CGI looked wayyyy better IMO!! Used much more sparingly and just better quality, used in a smarter way I reckon!
King. You are number one. Hahaha but RIP Sunny who got it first on the previous upload, but I had to delete because I hadn't exported it from premiere properly 😳
I know right mate :( When I heard it was announced I was pumped, but I wasn't too big of a fan of the trailers so suspected it may not have been good. But maybe I went in with my mind already made up as some in the comments have said! My mate who I watched it with said he loved it!
I'm glad that you enjoyed it mate!!! I just uploaded a full detailed breakdown of the specific things and reasons why I didn't like it so much if you're genuinely interested!
What did you think of Gladiator II?
