The same with the remake of magnificent seven, he's still doing Lonzo

@@Michael_ORourke Right, they are doing the age old Hollyweird trope of everyone having British accents. Still a little odd hearing an American accent in ancient Rome.

Lonzo was the best though. 😊

A black guy in an unusual setting must add rap music...

They should've just played Italian rap music and Greek bouzouki music. At least that's authentically Greco-Roman.

I hate jungle noise. It ruins everything. It just exudes ratchetness.

Yall just dont know how to act when you see a black person in films anymore... chill

If they actually did that then it would be a success

That should be in a South Park episode

Pretty much. 😂

Looks like Gladiator meets Ben Hur.

if this one fails, we are going to get the Maximus in Hades sequel with Russell Crowe, mark my words.

thank God there's movies such as La Strada, The Mirror and Dersu Uzala

From a director like Ridley Scott, you're doing him dirty by having this mindset. There are 5-7 legit filmmakers left and Scott is one of them. Maybe give him the benefit of the doubt

Which is why he got his skull crushed by the Mountain in Game of Thrones.

Ever heard of acting. Its a actionmovie you're not supposed to think that hard.

Gladiator 2: N***as in Rome

he clearly is southern european, white

Many hispanics are white and come from Spain so he looks southern European who were invaded by muslims so look like a bunch of turks.

@@bobby5678-ck2tc The muslim invasion wasnt enough to change the genetics. They dont look like turks, they look like spaniards. Studies have been done. The brits were invaded by the romans and yet they arent italic.

He is a good actor and is loved. It's a good choice. Even his face fits the era.

you know that trailer music and movie soundtrack are 2 different things? you people are just yapping at this point

@@vibechiefbecause we can. It’s our opinion that the trailer should be designed to get you to watch the film…. Not laugh at it.

He is very uneven, he can do terrific movies and terrible movies almost like Star Trek films where every other one is lousy

His earlier movies were no fluke. He was one of the best directors during one of the best times for films. Scotts downfall isnt that hes always been a fraud. Its that he didnt know when to retire. If you go on for too long, not only do you change beyond recognition the industry does as well. He is simply to old, weak and lacking in passion and the industry is too dumb, cultish and lacking in passion. Alien and Blade Runner were not flukes. They were the products of a man in his prime working in an industry in its prime.

Ridley Scott is reverse John Carpenter. Scott is more successful but has made more bad movies than good. Carpenter is less successful but has made more good movies than bad.

well, he somehow missed the Point of just retire from it i think. and got the ego to blame everything on other ppl, because, old sucsesses.

I see what you did there.

That's a quality comment right there sir!

I’m wholeheartedly against DEI in movies, especially time pieces where gladiators literally fight to the death, but the first Gladiator did have some bad ass female archers in the first scene in the coliseum. I believe they were called the Barbarian Horde. They were cool. Female warriors can be cool if done properly but odds are they’ll wokeify the female archer in this film.

Ah yes, the famous Mexican Roman citizens, very popular in their time. 😂🤡

That actually sounds fun. Ngl

Obviously the best line of Gladiator 2 is when Denzel says "I didn't know you like to get wet? 🤔"

When I first heard about the various concepts for this I was like thank goodness that didn't happen. But of course sooner or later bad things have to happen because people with money have to ruin everything, eventually.

My friend was a ghost writer for Hans late 90s to 2006. He's got some Wagner in gladiator sound track. He later used elements of gladiator for pirates of the Caribbean. Good times

Everything about this looks like a cheaper, worse version of the first movie. And it's impossible to not make those comparisons considering how good the first movie was and how long there has been since this movie. Nearly two and a half decades should have been enough to just not bother.

@@PeregrinTintenfish What can a man who doesn't fight know of war? What does fear of loss do to your grip and swing? Only theoreticals and fantasy play.

​​@@samkostos4520 So, by your own "Logic", how could a man who hasn't Died know and Teach about Death? How a Surgeon could Teach or perform Surgery if he hasn't Operated on himself? You DO understand that one DOES NOT need *First Hand Knowledge* to Perform, Understand, Teach or Know about a given Subject or Skill? You *can* be an Expert in a Field, let's say Clinical Psychology, exercise that profession successfully through counseling, giving advice and guiding someone going through a Situation that you haven't experienced yourself! *_This "Argument" is sadly very Common, and is amongst the worse Logical Fallacies there is!_* *HOWEVER,* what I say holds True when you only present this Argument by itself. But it CAN & IS a good Argument in certain circumstances and when it's expanded. In many Fields, especially those that require great Technical Skill & Personal and Sensory Experience such as Playing a Musical Instrument, having Firsthand Experience with your Instrument to the degree of Mastering it is not only extremely helpful, but Necessary in order to know enough about it to Teach it... Same for Fighting. You need years, decades of Training & Sparring to be able to really Perform well. But I'll still go back to your initial statement: "What can a man who doesn't fight know of war?" Actually, A GREAT DEAL! A lot of Professional Soldiers only Train and even get Deployed multiple times before their 1st Engagement where they really use their Training. And however much you Train and Study and Perform Simulations, *"the Real Deal"* so to speak will NEVER be like anything you've ever Experienced before! Yet all the "Fantasy Scenarios" & "Fantasy Play" (aka War Games and Sparring) from the Training DO Teach a *great fu©k¡ng deal* about War, Fighting and Survival and actually do make the difference between Dying and Living to Fight another day! So even if Shad isn't in the greatest of Physical Shape (far from it), AND does not seem to Train his Swordsmanship very rigorously, all of his Knowledge and Experience would still serve him and allow him to fare much better than almost anyone else who'd be put in a real Medieval Duel, as long as they'd be of the same level of fitness as his!

Nah. Ridley was actually good at his job at one point.

No, Joe is worse. Joe Joe pooped his pants.

He's an automatic pass for me.

Exactly. I'm tired of seeing him in everything.

Why is he so popular anyway? Like, seriously, I don't see his "great acting". Im convinced that the real reason he keeps getting all these acting jobs is cuz he's willing to add pronouns to his bio.

He's so repulsive.😫

He’s been cast in a lot of things the public recognize: GOT, Last of us, Star Wars etc.

No it isn’t. I always thought that movie was overrated. Ridley Scott has fallen off hard these days too

Don’t see how it’s overrated LOL

I definitely agree with the guys’s point about Ridley Scott tho. He’s definitely hit and miss

no movie is 'needed'. If it has a good story and is fun to watch that is all that matters and this has the spectacle I wanted in another big budget roman empire period film

@@rainbowremo1 Gladiator was a movie made out of passion and desire to tell a good story. Gladiator 2 exists to pander to the nostalgia of the original

That already happened.

@@theunknowncommenter725 I know - that was the point of my comment.

The trailer had a brief piece of music there at the very end that kinda leaned into the music of the original movie. Personally, I think that would have been a better music choice.

It's hard not to notice this is being released through Paramount. A company literally falling apart right now being pulled apart and sold off like a cow carcass buy hungry wolves. I'm not going to pull parallels even though I could but honestly this trailer alone already feels a little panderish I don't know what the intent is considering I don't feel like this will be representative of what's in the actual movie, music wise I mean.

To be fair, thats the trailer music.. I hope.

Orchestral music must be judged e to be racist now

@@Langley_Ackerman19 Rome often granted citizenship and/or gave land and money to retired soldiers from all over the empire, and they heavily recruited from recently conquered lands. In fact, that was one of Rome's problems. They trained barbarians to eventually be conquered by them.

Yea he should have a British accent

@@visorij3374 he should of had not an American accent.

Look, Brooklyn is right next to Rome. Those streets are just 5 blocks apart!!

I think people forget that in ancient times, racism and this whole concept of white supremacy wasn’t really a big thing like in current times. That didn’t happen until the Catholic Church needed a reason to justify conquering other lands and enslaving indigenous people for free. Which is ironic, we’re more racist and intolerant now than in ancient times

True, but his revolt also led to several gladiators dying in his name for what was essentially a pointless act, since they were already betrayed. Also, remember that his entire mission was one of REVENGE. Not that the creepy emperor didn't have it coming.

@@sigmacademy revenge, or better described as avenging his family would not be seen as a negative by the judges of the dead. Also, Maximus did not force anyone to fight for his cause. They were inspired by him and fought willingly for their friend.

Isn't that how the movie ended? Him walking through the fields back to his wife and kids? Maybe I'm misremembering.

@@sigmacademy Why would Roman gods care that his mission was for revenge? His wife and child were murdered and then he avenged them. Why would the gods find that dishonorable?
