Gladiator II

Paul Mescal looked better in IMAX, but i definitely felt him in 4DX. ☺️ this movie was a blast in 4DX and i can’t wait for it to come out on 4k so i can watch Paul Mescal from the comfort of my home. okay, all jokes aside, i love this movie (flaws and all). the first act definitely doesn’t do a good job at setting anything up.. which makes the following acts a wild ride with no idea where it could go. this makes people say the third act makes no sense for character arcs, but every character decision made perfect sense in my eyes. it’s all about power and greed (for many people).. so ofc anything can happen.  i think the ending is definitely rushed for our two main characters (Denzel and Paul), but i still enjoyed it because of how tense and fun it was to watch. i’m just a sucker for ancient rome / greek (ik this isn’t greece)  pieces, so i’ll continue to eat these gladiator films up so long as they’re full of action and blood.  2024 MOVIES RANKEDRIDLEY SCOTT RANKED
