An Honest Trailer for Gladiator II

The movie Gladiator II came 24 years after the original, and may as well have been called Gladiator: The Next Generation. It lacked both the originality of the first movie and Russell Crowe. But audiences loved it, which proves that after 24 years, you can release the same movie again because no one cares about the first one. They introduced novelty by making some characters and scenarios extra bizarre, whether that's historically accurate or not, because who cares. Besides all that, the highlight of Gladiator II was the villain, played by Denzel Washington, who stole the show for himself. And it has plenty of the violence that audiences crave. Screen Junkies pulls apart Gladiator II so you can decide after all this time whether it's something you might want to watch.
