Gladiator II review: Right from its opening battle sequence, Ridley Scott’s Gladiator II grabs you by the collar to have your attention and refuses to let go. Even in its slow moments of exposition, the film commands it. Add some spectacular battles, visually stunning sets, and a host of powerful performances, and you have a winner on your hands, right? Well, almost! Despite its grandeur and finesse, Gladiator II suffers because of the bar raised by Part 1. It stays unmemorable, failing to deliver the emotional highs and quote-worthy lines that made Part One such a cultural phenomenon. And that is where Gladiator II fails, if one may use the term slightly unkindly.
