Reviews

  • "Not perfect and not a patch on the original film, but the magic of Ridley Scott's direction and Denzel Washington's performance elevates GLADIATOR 2 into the epic spectacle it needs to be. But best to manage your expectations in comparison to the Oscar-winning film."
    - Total Film
  • "Scott’s return to the Roman arena is something of a repeat, but it’s still a thrilling spectacle and Mescal a formidable lead. We are entertained."
    - The Guardian
  • "GLADIATOR II finds strength and honor in the well-worn armor of its predecessor. Paul Mescal is adept in the belabored-hero role, going toe-to-toe with not only the delightfully deranged Joseph Quinn and Fred Hechinger, but also with Denzel Washington, whose mercurial Macrinus practically screams “ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED” at the audience every second he’s onscreen."
