Gladiaattori 2 pöhisee hyvin ennakoiden perusteella

Vuoden 2000 Russel Crowen tähdittämä Gladiaattori oli iso menestys, ja jatkoa seuraa 22. marraskuuta 2024 elokuvalla Gladiaattori 2. Jos uskomme Los Angelesin alueen elokuvakriitikoita, on luvassa ohjaaja Ridley Scottin parasta sitten leffojen The Martian ja Black Hawk Down. Toisin sanoen hyvältä vaikuttaa sosiaalisen median reaktioiden perusteella.

Lukaise ylistäviä kommentteja englanniksi videon alta täällä Gamereactorissa. Lisää pääsee katselemaan The Hollywood Reporterissa. Kysymys ei ole täysimittaisista arvioista, vaan enemmänkin julkisista hihkaisuista. Mutta hyvältä näyttää kuitenkin.

Jillian Chilingerian (OffScreenCentral)
"Engrave Denzel Washington's name on the best supporting actor Oscar for Gladiator 2 right this instance."

Scott Menzel (We Live Entertainment)
"Gladiator II is Ridley Scott's best film since The Martian. A big, bloody, and badass action spectacle that builds upon the legacy of the original. The film showcases beautiful set pieces and a lot of epic battles. Paul Mescal shines."

Griffin Schiller (Filmspeak)
"Ridley Scott returns to the Colosseum to prove to the world that HE'S. STILL. GOT. IT. Absolutely BUZZING after #GladiatorII! An EPIC Shakespearean tale of hope, futility & power within a crumbling system. Denzel FEASTS in a showstopping, Machiavellian performance. What a picture!"

Germain Lussier (Gizmodo)
"#GladiatorII doesn't quite rise to the greatness of the original, but it's a damn fine sequel with big stakes, a solid story, & excellent performances. I enjoyed it thoroughly, most probably will too, but it's just slightly lacking emotionally. Everything is very easy & surface."

Drew Taylor (The Wrap)
"Rest easy, Romans. #Gladiator2 is the kind of large-scale filmmaking excellence only Ridley Scott could corral. Everything about it just works. Big #Maverick vibes in its ability to conjure the past while adding something new. Bold, muscular filmmaking from a legendary talent."

Scott Mantz (Movie Mantz)
"GLADIATOR II is indeed the REAL DEAL! An epic sequel worthy of its Oscar-winning predecessor — great action, amazing visual effects, stellar performances across the board (especially PAUL MESCAL & DENZEL WASHINGTON)! A return to form for director RIDLEY SCOTT! I was ENTERTAINED!"
