1. I can’t understand why this movie was made. The plot is same with its prequel except, among other things, lacking the epical splendour such as what’re featured by the prequel’s 1st Act : The historic war at Germania and its immediate aftermath: the overthrow of both the Emperor and General Maximus by Commodus.
@@philiplaw4537 Me either 😅. I believe it is just for the sake of making money. As u said, the plot is highly repetitive, almost identical to the prequel, but the effects are weakened as well as the tensions among characters… What a waste of Ridley’s talent and life
6. Lastly, I fully agree with you that this movie is outclassed by its prequel in almost all aspects except only the props & settings and costume. So, it returns to my 1st comment : Why this movie was made in the first place ? What’s the purpose to make this movie except, as already pointed out by you, only for money’s sake ?
An exception to such failures is the James Bond franchise, which’s rebooted & rejuvenated time and again in a more or less better way, at least not worse too much.

我同你一樣比10分，而出戲係我睇過最好睇，冇任何一出西片可以比較，我吾單止係戲院睇，我上網都睇過6至8次，因為我從來吾會睇一出戲超過2次，實在太好睇，吾會嚴，到而家甘多年後，我仍然對而出戲係第一位，好正，💯分，我覺得係一個真正既男人，太完美。👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰💯💯💯
@@wowo-lu9od 不過當年我比八分，係咁多年後慢慢dap真啲，愈dap愈有味。係扣分羅素肌肉紋理唔夠出囉。但經典野太多，音樂、濾光、角色設定⋯ 均完美
@@wildwildy1813 冇錯，認同你👍👍👍
分析得唔錯。細膩。多角度。
感謝支持
水戰有鯊魚果幕真係勁突兀，真係要加嘅話，點解唔加鱷魚呢，埃及曾經係古羅馬帝國版圖，出現尼羅河鱷都叫做合理少少。
另外第一集果啲應該係麥田，唔係稻田
@@chai2627 我都有諗過鱷魚水陸兩棲而搞好多。係麥田，口誤
完場嗰刻已經知道2集唔同級數。第一集完場係好唔捨得完，第二集就覺得還好。第2集電影講到主角好似係Maximus個仔咁，呢到有啲唔明。
@@greenapplegoal 第一集好少暗示，只係話有段情。第二集夾硬寫，咪加句公主丈夫鐘意男人⋯ 暗示Lucius經手maximus。 同時，第一集心隱隱痛，第二集ok la… 差好遠

第二集個男主角冇乜主角樣，似咕哩多d😂，故事又唔太交代清楚，無端端Danzel Washington 殺左2兄弟皇帝😅😅😅
Denzel 趁機奪位我明，佢唔洗出手重好。 男主角唔識佢⋯ 紅唔起就跌回二線
Mads Mikkelsen, who is an extraordinarily charismatic & imposing actor, can certainly play very well in any role of arch-villain, …..
@@philiplaw4537 Truly he has certain charisma that is no equal in Hollywood
In The Dial of Destiny, Disney presents us with an insurmountably wonderful combo : …..
@@philiplaw4537 hope is not the opposite: multiverse of madness and mud-hole…
分析精簡有point👍👍👍, 本片最弱的一環係人物塑造不夠，尤其「男主角」，無乜思想無乜性格，角色之間亦缺乏溝通，缺乏感情（可能係內容太多），不過睇Scott的戲就係睇製作，睇大塲面，視覺一流，一定要入戲院睇，值回票價
有嘅就係揭密揭密... 其實佢唔係將軍出身，根本戰力同指揮能力差過maximus N倍...
….. but Disney is so wonderful & effective to have made Mads show up as an “arch-clown” in The Dial of Destiny !
what a waste if great talent…
Wildy兄：Further to our dialogue about the 5th (and the worst) movie of the Indiana Jones franchise, I’d like to add that …..
4. Same with your comment about Macrinus played by Denzel Washington, this casting was, once again, an exemplar of the 濫觴 of DEI.
@@philiplaw4537 In the name of DEI, totally not worth it

which heroine? Lucilla?
Helena, created by Disney as Indie’s goddaughter and intended by Disney to be a heroine

Why this movie was made in the first place ?

@@philiplaw4537 and maybe because of the lack of good plays / scripts… Hollywood turns to remake or extend some classics…
Yes, the owners of the franchises are inclined to make the most of each & every franchise in order to maximise their own profits.
An exception to such failures is the James Bond franchise, which’s rebooted & rejuvenated time and again in a more or less better way, at least not worse too much.
with new blood and new worldviews, getting more and more realistic

I too like Mikkelsen
Hi Wildy兄, Having watched this sequel movie in last evening, I’d like to share my humble views with you as follows
@@philiplaw4537 Very welcome
第二集我都覺麻麻, 好失望.
其實鐘意戰爭戲既可以睇Netflix 套享利五世, 沙丘男主角做, 我覺得好睇過呢部 Gladiator 2.
真係無嘜高潮...
For example, the legacy of Indiana Jones was destroyed by Disney.
very sad… they should have stopped at the fourth… in the fifth one Harrison Ford could hardly walk literally…
