"Gladiator II" starring Paul Mescal is a more action-leaning sequel that delivers on the big, wild fights, but not always on the emotional continuity.
Paul Mescal completes his transition from sensitive metrosexual heartthrob to box office beefcake in Ridley Scott ’s sequel to his award-winning sword and sandal epic Gladiator, from 2000.
Ridley Scott turns what wants to be the greatest show on earth into the wildest and most conservative display of anything. Gladiator 2 is, to put it simply, the movie that Trump's victory deserves.
