Ben and Rob armour up for the latest Ridley Scott universe to be plundered for more cash ‘Gladiator II’! Starring Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington, Connie Neilsen and Pedro Pascal, ‘Gladiator II’ follows grown up Lucius as he walks far too closely in the footsteps of the original masterpiece. Twenty three years after the release of the Russell Crowe career maker, Ridley Scott is hoping this franchise can be revived without it going as poorly as every other time he’s done it.
But is this Riddle-y Scott or Diddly Squat when it comes to genius filmmaking? This isn’t just a cynical retread of everything that made the first film fantastic, right? RIGHT?! Is this the latest in this summer’s long line of poorly judged sequels and reboots? And why did Ben find himself left breathless when Rob was left so cold?!
