I didn't care for any of them. It's wine mom horror. The whole Mr. Glass character is complete bullshit. I hate his whole "mythology". Complete garbage IMHO. The actors did an okay job with what they were given but the story itself is asinine.

He didn't do her any favors. If it was a good movie then sure, but if people hate it, they will hate her.

Nah they cast the fake DEI Pedro Pascal in it to get Oscar consideration. He's popular because he's a white Spaniard but brown enough to fill a person of color quota.

Angry Joe review was fairly positive. Good popcorn flick with nice fight scenes. Just don't expect much of a plot and it's derivative garbage compared to the original. In a vacuum without Gladiator 1 it's a passable action movie. Just with usual tropes and weak writing. So no worse than Spawn or Romulus or any of the other crap floating around the Hollywood toilet bowl.

Once the award show qualifications changed it was a done deal. No one will fund anything that can't go up for awards.

This movie was retarded.
From the get-go, I was confused at how fast-paced, rushed the opening was. No character development maybe 2 minutes of learning about the main character before he becomes a slave.
He tells his master that his only goal is to be able to kill the general that led the army to captured him. But then when he gets to fight him in battle, he realizes he's a good guy and doesn't kill him. But it doesn't matter because the army shoots that dude with 50 arrows 5 seconds later.
You learn he's the son of the gladiator from the first movie, whose wife is still alive in this movie. First time he meets this woman, he screams that he that hates her and never wants to see her again. Then couple minutes later in the movie they're hugging each other, again in a jail cell. No reason for the transition.
Oh and the best part, they fill the f****** coliseum with water... And f****** sharks. Mean sharks the kill a bunch of people that are fighting in the Colosseum, that fall off of ships into the water.
This movie wanted to be a series, like Spartacus. And probably would have worked as a series so that you could get more character development. But as is the few battle scenes just aren't that memorable. The original gladiator, 300, or braveheart are better war movies to watch.
