They did flood the arena, but u wouldn't have seen sharks in there. Most historians say the Romans probably didn't even know what a shark was. Now, if they had Nile crocodiles in there instead of sharks, that would be more accurate
Denzel Washington is the only actor in the world who can play the biggest and most despicable villains in movie history, and yet he’s so goddamn charismatic that he always leaves you wanting more. One major reason is that absolutely infectious smile and laugh of his.
I actually love the fact that Lucius is Maximus’ biological son. That was always a fan theory from the first one because on top of the fact that Max and Lucilla heavily implied to have had an on and off affair for many years, the fact that the last thing he wants to know before he dies is if Lucius is alright.
Not true though. It's reconning. Lucinda & Maximus have a conversation at the beginning of the movie. Both gush about their boys being 8 years old. Besides Maximus never been to Rome until he was a gladiator.
@phoenixrising8231 it wasn't retconned, Ridley mentioned in 2006 that Lucius was the son of Lucilla and Maximus. Hints were dropped in the first movie.
Never made much sense. Lucillas and Maximus son were the same age. Maximus presumably had his son while he was with his wife in Spain, how would he have impregnated Lucilla in Rome? Doubt Maximus rode to Rome, cheated on his wife, returned to Spain, and never spoke to Lucilla again for the next 8 years. I always felt like Lucilla and Maximus had a thing back in the day, but not as recent as 8 years ago. Maximus cheating on his wife also doesn’t quite fit the story Ridley is trying to tell
@@RekhamRed No, they literally explained in the first movie that Maximus had never been to Rome. Maximus and Lucila could've met and spent time together in another Roman province. You don't know your films.
It's like the grownups did a movie and the kid got the lead. I was so invested in Pedro, Connie, and Denzel. The others did well, but Pedro looked and acted like an experienced, war-worn general. He cut through his own men like butter. Then Denzel...he was on another level!
I really enjoyed this movie, I didn't think it would tied in to the first movie at all. I imagined it would be a fun entertainment movie like Jumanji with Kevin hart and the Rock ect. So I think because I had low expectations for the movie, that I loved it. Me and my mom watched it in theaters for my birthday and we both had a great time.
@@SamsonfsDefinitely, but I also think one of the reasons why alot of these new movies/shows gets bad reviews is because people wants to put shit too high of a pedestal, they combine their expectations and standards and imagination to form a pedestal too reach and ascend.
@@dimitrijohnson6240 or they simply just didn't like the movie? I'm tired of people trying to use the excuse of "well they're expectations are too high" which is such bs. The first movie a cinema classic, of course people would have high expectations.
@@SolidSnake240Or they simply didn't like the movie. Like I said, one of the reasons. You are right, if you liked the movie you liked the movie, if you loved it you loved it, if you hated it you hated it and you always have the right to say what you didn't like about it. But if you want to always have high expectations and standards on everything, you will mostly always be disappointed.
I have a spidey sense when it comes to spotting a good movie and I didn't have it for this one. Nonetheless Denzel will always be one of my favorite actors of all time.
@@Ahasveros7674unlikely, but not impossible when you look at some of the other animals they transported. They're not trying to keep em alive long term y'know
44:02 yes the coliseum would be filled with water and they’d simulate naval battles but no sharks wouldn’t have been in the water maybe crocodiles though
Hanno's wife tattoos are legitimate Berber style tattoos, as both Berber men and women had face tats before the Arab conquest converted them to Muslim. Numidia during ancient roman times was Berber land, is still considered their ancestral lands and their religion was indigenous. What's funny is that Numidia sided with the roman republic against Carthage. As a reward, Rome gave the Numidia to the Berbers as a tribute kindgom. They then annexed Numedia into the Roman empire after going to war with and defeating the real Jugurtha...which happens about 300 years before this movie is set 😂
I thought about AC Odyssey during that opening fight as well. That was the only assassins creed game I put close to 100 hours in. To me it was their last good one. Also, yes. They did use the coliseum for naval battles much like the one presented in the film.
This film was recently showing in cinemas, don't you go to the cinema? It's heartbreaking to see people giving up the experience of watching a blockbuster at the cinema, to watch it on TV, computer or cell phone.
I bought the film yesterday on Prime and honestly I liked the battles, gladiator fights and armor just didn’t like the voices but a good thing about this is the lack of talking
I watched this last night. Paul Mescal is a good actor, but he doesn’t hold the frame like Russell Crowe did in the first one. His performance was too understated. Pedro Pascal does the most with a thankless role, and it felt like he should have been the main character. I don’t really get the Denzel hate in this movie. He was absolutely the most electric presence in the story and the movie came alive whenever he was on screen. The ending…I have thoughts, but I’d rather not write an entire essay about it here. Great reaction, you guys!
I didn't hate the movie, i gave it a 7 all things considered. I thought that there were many cool scenes and the story is about the only way that you could go as to an actual sequel to the first movie. I get why some would be dissappointed with the movie, but you definitely came in expecting WAY too much lol. GLADIATOR is a 10 out of 10 in most books and when is the last time Hollywood made a movie remotely close? Save your money if you think this movie will compete with the first... Much like Ridley's trainwreck last year- Napolean, he could have given this one a different name like "Lucious" or something and threw in the suprise of an actual sequel. I thought Napolean should have actually been called "Josephine"...it would have fit the movie rather than a great name like Napolean and have it slander and dissappoint.
The story is done. Lucius will give Rome back to the senate and lead it through the transition to becoming a republic. The only logical reason for a 3rd movie, from a story perspective, is if Lucias loses his way and ends up being corrupted by power and all that jazz. But that kinda taints the dream that is Rome. We're meant to root for that dream and see Rome be a thriving Republic because after years of war, Marcus Aurelius realized that it was all for naught. And he wanted to be known (in the film) as the emperor who gave Rome back to the people. That's what Maximus fought for. That's what Lucius is ultimately able to fulfill. It's the end of the story.
The Twin Emporers, the Wolf and what happened to Lucilla after Comodos is intriguing and a cauldron for the emotion 2 is lacking. I think a prequel to 2 would be much richer than continuing the story.
I‘m legit curious why. When I left the cinema I was pissed off it was so bad. I‘m not a very critical person at all but I‘m having a very hard time coming up with anything positive regarding this movie despite Denzels acting despite his scenes still being written horribly. For me this movie is right between Avatar the last Airbender and Cats
They were able to flood the coliseum to act out sea battles. We like to think we are so developed, but there was so much knowledge lost from that time (and times before that). We didnt get close to that level till long after mideval times. And still there are things build that we have not figured out how they managed to do it.
The monkeys are baboons. Remember, this took place nearly 2,000 years ago. A lot of animals' evolution has changed since those times. Look at pics of dog breeds just 100yrs ago
What?? Are you a fool?? Dog breeds change drastically because we breed them to. The type of evolution your talking about takes millions and millions of years. Those baboons were malnourished and had mange, it has nothing to do with evolution. If your a kid just do a little research. If your an adult you need to stay off the internet.
I always love it in movies when the bad guy reveals their plan & then tell the good guy you will go along with it & then the good guy whoops the bad guys ass afterwards 😂🤣🤣🤣
Jabby..WTF? Achara is AN ANGEL..Inside AND OUT.. Your lucky to have a woman so beautiful... Apologize Now...On video..Walk Of Shame For You Jabby... G.O.T. STYLE... 🤨😎
This was a good movie in my opinion 😁 I think people are going to this movie thinking that it should have the same heart as the original. You're gonna be bored
Then this film shouldn't have been made in the first place. And don't name it Gladiator 2 in an effort to tie it with the first one if your intentions are to not treat it with the same kind of respect and seriousness.
Teaching 6th Grade Ancient History makes watching this so much fun! There are some amazing history makers in the Trans-Saharan Trade era but crazy Roman emperors get more air time.
great reactions ...and : Christopher Nolan says Gladiator II is one of his favorite films of 2024..and for me too.....even if it is not perfect (the last part of the film could have been better...because the last scene with Denzel is good but not great...maybe a more spectacular scene for the end, I don't know (this film as +- 250-300million budget) ..even if in the first film it also ends in a duel..but the end of the first film was more moving....so, Gladitor 2 is a very good film 8/10 but not perfect
The fact that you can find a movie so recent like that on youtube, being react at or otherwise, tells a lot about the state of the cinema. It would have been unthinkable even a few years ago.
That was s beautiful moment it just shows how strong your friend ship is "she's to beautiful to live""is that why you still here"' that few seconds shows just how much of a strong bond friend ship you both have love it❤❤
The most egregious and hilariously historically incorrect thing about this movie is the fact that the senator who rats out about Lucius to Denzel is reading a NEWSPAPER! Printing won’t be invented for another THOUSAND YEARS!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@thedarkknight2221 Just to know, didn't they have scrolls? what material are they made from. Some say, thin wood leaf was used instead of cloth for a few instances. reading that, I am wondering what a woodleaf is now? Is that paper? Now that got me confusing, what time were the gladiators till. Some say till 2nd century AD. But the first paper which was made by romans was in 2AD. *NOTE:* I do not know what is true. but google got me to this information. Even if I post a news that Dinosaurs existed until the time of Noah, it would still be suggested by google for readers, and many would believe that. I want to know what your side of research says.
@PeverellTheThird yup. That is so true. To be honest, maybe some claims were made just to point out, by so called historians. But other people always want a little drama of their own. We can't help it mate.
Agree with Jabby Paul Mescal isn’t on the same level as Russel Crowe in presence or command, Crowe was believable from the get go as a Leader and a General no disrespect to Paul Mescal thats just a fact, the rest played good roles but I don’t think this will age well compared to G1 I enjoyed watching it with you guys however! So thanks for that, appreciate that. Maybe Ill watch it again and see it more in definitive clarity but it didn’t have the impact even I first saw Gladiator 1 and as someone who loves history as a subject especially military wise there is allot to like about the fight scenes etc especially the start but again not s impactful or as believable the Gladiator 1. Sometimes there shouldn’t be remakes or sequels unfortunately today’s Hollywood lacks originality and allot of other things! Good reaction all the same and can see both your POVs 🤘
Disappointing given his filmography that this unnecessary sequel has ended up as Denzel's highest grossing movie ever ($421m worldwide) as well as Ridley Scott's 3rd biggest movie ever :(
I so wanted to find a way to love this movie and I just couldn't. At some point I was hoping Denzel was going to stand up and scream "King Kong has got nothing on me" if for no other reason than just to show how much of a farce this movie was..
I don’t know, might not be a popular take but I think revisionist history is gonna do wonders for this movie in the long run, given enough years the bad taste it left in our mouths won’t be there. Kinda like the Star Wars prequels
I took my parents to see this in the cinema. We had a great time! I also agree it does look very digital. Wish they’d shot on film, but the production design and scale of the sets was fantastic.
Fully agree that final speech was a bit underwhelming. His speech before the final fight was wayyy better and hit much harder. Overall still liked the movie a lot. I saw lots of negative reviews before i watched it so i did go in with kinda low expectations. Luckily they were exceeded.
Wow I'm so amazed at the way these people have somehow built trebuchet about what, 800 years before they were invented ? LOL I won't even bother going any further because I could probably spend an hour pointing shit out that don't make sense and I've only got 20 minutes into the movie....
I am more amazed at the SO badly contrived "plot" of the "story" and endless modern tropes which are being acted out pretty bad most of the time... But the "historical accuracy" is funny as well 😅
1:24:06 Sorry, they clearly showed at the beginning that Hano was already a leader from the get go. He lead the defence of Numedia against the Roman fleet and later he quickly became the leader fo all the gladiators. Im not sure what she's blabbing about. And age has nothing to do with it like he said the guy is 28. The guy has no charisma or gravitas and that matters when you are the main lead and the viewer expect you to carry them throughout the journey. This movie was mediocre.
Yeah on a rewatch, I just can't shake the feeling that this film feels completely unnecessary. To anyone who hasn't seen it already, I would advise you to save your time and money and just watch the first one again.
7:41 Achara: “She’s too beautiful to live”
Jaby: “Is that why you’re still here?”

This movie should never have been made for $310 million dollars.
@@jo-elbrown5893didn't paramount officials say it was less?
Great action, I loved how the story continued. Great acting from all, but Denzel was amazing!
I took my parents to see this in the cinema. We had a great time! I also agree it does look very digital. Wish they’d shot on film, but the production design and scale of the sets was fantastic.
Let’s watch Baby Boy 2001 with Tyrese Gibson
I very much enjoyed the first 3/4’s of this movie, the ending was pretty terrible
I'd rather Ridley not have made a sequel in the first place. The first movie is perfect and had a great ending.
@ yeah a sequel was unnecessary but it’s real now and it was meh
In real history Marcinus wins. He's emperor for only 3 months though.
Fully agree that final speech was a bit underwhelming.
His speech before the final fight was wayyy better and hit much harder.
Overall still liked the movie a lot. I saw lots of negative reviews before i watched it so i did go in with kinda low expectations. Luckily they were exceeded.
Guys react to SIKANDAR teaser 🔥🔥
Wait, you guys didn’t review this movie?
They were starving baboons

Y'all should watch the "Spartacus" series that was on Starz 💡👍👍👍
In contrast with you Jaby, I was thinking more of Assassins creed Orgins
Ps take mo notice of him your stunning❤❤❤❤
the emperor looks like robert downey jr been swimming in the devil's dandruff.
He from Strangers Things
Wow I'm so amazed at the way these people have somehow built trebuchet about what, 800 years before they were invented ? LOL I won't even bother going any further because I could probably spend an hour pointing shit out that don't make sense and I've only got 20 minutes into the movie....
I am more amazed at the SO badly contrived "plot" of the "story" and endless modern tropes which are being acted out pretty bad most of the time...
But the "historical accuracy" is funny as well 😅
Well the war between Jugurtha and the romans happened like 300 years before Caracalla's reign.
Gladiator 2 is a good film 🎥🎞👍
Watch "Alexander" the extended version 💡👍

Sorry, they clearly showed at the beginning that Hano was already a leader from the get go. He lead the defence of Numedia against the Roman fleet and later he quickly became the leader fo all the gladiators. Im not sure what she's blabbing about. And age has nothing to do with it like he said the guy is 28. The guy has no charisma or gravitas and that matters when you are the main lead and the viewer expect you to carry them throughout the journey. This movie was mediocre.
Yeah on a rewatch, I just can't shake the feeling that this film feels completely unnecessary. To anyone who hasn't seen it already, I would advise you to save your time and money and just watch the first one again.
Did you both know, that recently Denzel Washington was baptized and became a Minister.
Let's be honest: 90% of the movie's success is Denzel! Btw Ridley Scott told that he already started to work on Gladiator III 😬
Movie bombed brah it aint a sucess
