#gladiator2

Well, Ridley Scott made #Gladiator, again. The sequel is literally full of quotes from the original movie without really adding something new until the very end. Basically, #Gladiator2 is the version where the protagonist wins.

The production itself is poor beside the grand imperial imagery. There's better CGI out there than those uncanny baboons or sharks, better acting than Mescal's and Pascal's (although I liked Washington's Macrinus for most of the film) & better writing for sure.

I actively ignored #Gladiator2 (USA/UK 2024, Ridley Scott) when it was released to cinemas last year, but of course I couldn't possibly avoid it forever. The majority of reviewers make it very clear that noone should watch this movie thinking it is somewhat historic, else it would be no fun at all due to numerous anachronisms. Which is even more reason to study it for Scotts artistic take on #AncMedReception, e.g. what is important for him and which themes allure to the viewers? #AncientHistory

Screenshot from the disc menu: a gladiator is standing on the arena of a great amphitheater, facing a dais surrounded by peoples dressed in white robes. Both are encircled by what appear to be Roman soldiers or maybe pretorians.

I got impatient and bought #gladiator2 on appleTV instead of waiting for the disc. It's good enough that i don't think that I will need the disc. Picture quality is excellent and the atmos sound is very atmospheric (is that a word?)., The bass is a little light but Shane Lee noticed the same in his review of the Kaleidescape version so it is probably a deliberate choice that it is to sound like that on #homecinema

BTW: it is one of those appletv movies that sound better when played on Nvidia Shield or any other device with direct audio passthrough. Edit: The difference is not so great though

Ahora echan bronca a Ridley Scott por decir que no recomienda ir en vacaciones a Malta.
Igual sería buena idea preguntarle a alguien que haya ido a Malta en temporada alta, cuando es uno de los sitios que más reventado está de turistas, a ver qué opina de la experiencia. 🤣
