Hodnocení a recenze Gladiátor II
- Varun5. prosince 2024This movie is grand but shallow at the same time. I watched this in IMAX and the scope of the set pieces are absolutely amazing. The lighting is also handled really well. And the fight scenes go hard, it’s shot with clarity and the sound design makes it perfectly impactful. On the one hand the powerfully emotive acting does affect the gravitas of various scenes, but the character writing and story is weak and hence it fails to pull any of your heart strings. It felt more like a nice looking entertaining flick to pass the time but not much complexity to care enough about the story. The emperors this time around are two caricaturish lame villains with no backstory and zero bite. Paul Mescal is fantastic, never seen him embody such a ferocious masculine personality. I wish we could see at least some camaraderie between him and his teammates but there’s none. At least his conversations with Ravi was a nice touch. Denzel is also masterful as usual, using his cunning wiles to ascend the ladder, but in the end his plans also get a bit comical, which is inevitable when dealing with empty character writing for the emperors. God they really underutilised the legacy characters, Grachhus is barely in the movie while Lucilla isn’t up to a whole lot of scheming here and is mostly relegated to being a grieving mother. I enjoyed seeing Pedro Pascal but also it seemed too similar to Maximus’s character so it felt like a repeat, I guess I noticed it more since I watched the first movie 2 days before this sequel. Spoiler Ahead. I also feel the Lucius reveal was kind of meh, didn’t really enhance the story for me that much and it seemed forced, the writers just chalk it up to fate that he ends up in Rome as a gladiator. I did learn something new though, that kids with blonde hair can actually turn into adults with dark brown hair. Despite tons of flaws the movie was entertaining enough and is worth checking out for the epic visuals and action scenes.
- Ty Leet27. listopadu 2024Fire everyone involved except Paul Mescal and try again.
- dal.gi24. března 2025Absolute trash
- stolteclan5. dubna 2026Tired and boring. And c’mon Denzel, let’s see you act. You’re great as yourself in all the other movies, NOT THIS THOUGH
- Derek Schweitzer3. dubna 2026Absurd sequel, will be quickly forgotten.
- carlin_9815. srpna 2025One of the worst sequels i've ever seen. Incredibly boring
- S Jöhansson28. ledna 2025Gladiator 2 is arguably the most overhyped film of the past decade.
- J.F. Ruiz7. července 2025It is a shame.
- makdelart10. března 2026As a huge fan of Gladiator from 2000, I find this sequel to be a profanation. The film is weak in every aspect. Emotionally, I feel nothing for any of the characters: Mescal is completely devoid of charisma, Washington is over the top, Pascal looks like he's about to cry, and the others are just decorations in the scenes. The fights are completely unengaging and lack authenticity, probably because of the CGI spilling out of the screen (the scene with the sharks is pure sci-fi). The music, which was a strong asset in the original, only becomes noticeable here when it is copied from the original - which in itself is a very weak attempt to play on the viewer's emotions. To sum up: a weak film with overly obvious special effects - an unnecessary film.
- Andrew Kerr14. června 2025Had potential. Poor execution. Outdated directing style and cinematography. Frankly ridiculous dialogue and character interactions completely unrealistic and implausible. Wasted good actors.
- stuhannaford27. května 2025It passes a couple of hours, it isn’t a dreadful movie, but the weight of expectation makes it feel such a let down. Standing beside the original, it feels little more than a grand, heavy handed cash in. On its own, it’s perhaps a Hollywood blockbuster, that will live in the memory for a summer and nothing more. The subtleties of the original are replaced by bombastic moments that fail to land. It is at times, an almost play for play reenactment, with small variations, to trick you into believing it’s an original story. Almost every character a substitute with a new name, each with added ‘drama’. Each scene has a touch of, ‘do kind of what we did before, but bigger, bolder and louder’… or just add a shark. Where we once watched Phoenix announce himself to the world with a performance of a complex man child, fighting to disprove his fathers beliefs, only to compound them, we now get subjected to one dimensional, petulant school kids with zero character or charisma. Maximus, a man you would happily follow into war yourself, now little more than a sulky chap with a chip on his shoulder. The intricacies and intelligence of the battles and fights, now just the standard run of the mill CGI scenes that could be plucked from a list of modern movies. The same classic score is used over and again, but added for nostalgia rather than effect, and doesn’t fit. Pascal and McInnerny are the only actors to forge their own way and really hold their own. Even Washington, a great actor by any standard, is hampered by problems, some within his control (the American accent jars), but mostly out… the odd, loud declaration of his sexuality during his first on screen meeting with McInnerny, feels forced and unnecessary. The performances of two outstanding professionals make this abundantly clear, but it’s as if the writers sat down and said, ‘are we sure we’ve hit our inclusivity targets? Let’s add a line just to make sure.’ And it’s these sledgehammer moments throughout, that reduce the project to ‘meh’ rather than ‘yeah!’
- arjunramanathan24. února 2026rehash of old story
- Motaba Movie center16. března 2025The creators couldn't really decide what to do with Gladiator II. At first, it just repeats the first part, but then it falls apart so spectacularly that we start to cry over the boring but reliable first half of the film. Years later, when we talk about movies that shouldn't have been continued, Gladiator will probably come up alongside The Mountaineer or Joker.
- Jkrilin26. prosince 2024An epic return to the Colosseum that combines political intrigue, intense battles and a legacy that weighs on the shoulders of the protagonist. The film is notable for its impressive mise-en-scène, visually stunning combat and solid performances, especially from Paul Mescal, who manages to convey both Lucius' fury and vulnerability. While the plot can feel overwrought at times, the unexpected twists and emotional connection to Maximo's story are enough to keep you glued to the screen. It's a worthy homage and expansion of the original universe, with a conclusion that resonates beyond the sands of the Colosseum.

Lucius, vnuk císaře Marka Aurelia a syn „prvního“ gladiátora Maxima, žije v utajení v jednom z posledních svobodných měst na severu Afriky. Rozpínavá Římská říše ho však nenechá na pokoji. Stačí jeden masívní útok loďstva vedeného generálem Acaciem a prosperující město se změní v ruiny a svobodný Lucius v bezejmenného otroka. Urostlého zajatce si všimne organizátor gladiátorských zápasů Macrinus, který z něj chce mít hvězdu Římského kolosea (než ho nahradí někdo schopnější). Gladiátorské hry však nejsou tou hlavní hrou, kterou Marcinus hraje. Důmyslný stratég si uvědomuje slabost impéria ovládaného dvěma šílenými císaři, Caracallou a Getou, a rozehraje riskantní partii, v níž na pomyslné šachovnici bojují gladiátor a také právoplatný dědic římského trůnu Lucius, jeho matka Lucilla a generál Acacius, její manžel a zároveň muž, kterého její syn k smrti nenávidí, protože mu zničil život.
