One of the least requested sequels of all time (specially asone attempt at a script was absolutely insane). Yet the return of directorRidley ScotttoGladiator,no matter if nowhere as compelling as the Oscar-winning original, is very watchable, with impeccable production values, thrilling action scenes, and an amazing cast, highlighted byDenzel Washington(pictured) as the devious Macrinus. HenceGladiator II,which opened in various markets a week before the United States premiere on November 22 (where it faces an unusual competitor inWicked), earned positive reviews, and remains to be seen if enough audiences will be drawn in to recoup the massive budget of at least $250 million. |
