Gladiator 2. Where to start. I guess if the first had never been made you think this a good movie not an excellent movie like the first was. However as there was a first this looks like a cut and paste job and not a very good one. As mention before the lead is terrible. As much charisma as a wet rag. Remember Crowe was pretty much an unknown at the time he made Gladiator and to compare..well no comparision in the acting. 

Now also I'm a big fan of both Pascal and Washington but to say they were miscast is an understatement. I think Denzil thought he was in Training Day 2. 

If you like some good old fighting CGIU etc on a big screen you might enjoy bits but for me it doesn't paper over the cracks.

It's  bloody bad.

Decent film but completely let down by weak as piss performance by lead actor who was appalling.

Denzil Washington was excellent though.


 

Denzil is always excellent..Man on fire is his finest IMO ?
Alas..I have zero interest in gladiator 2  because I know it's going to be a massive pile of shite

Been a long time coming having completed filming just over 2 yrs ago but its finally available and seems to be getting an incredible reaction. Not trying to shove it down anyone's throats but a few lads on here have always been really kind and supportive when im posted about it previously. Have a look if its up your Strasse but be prepared to cry as it is a really tear jerker.

Cheers boys.

To balance out all these people who have been so kind, I’ll watch it but on a pirate stream so you don’t get any money.

@Jim79,

I remember you talking about it been made.  Can't believe it's been 2 years. 
I'll watch it the weekend on my fully paid Disney+ subscription

Had another look at The American, with George Clooney. Nothing great, but thought it had a good atmosphere about it, with some good shots of some Italian towns.

I saw it a fortnight ago. It was so forgettable I've just had to Wiki it to remind me of the story. I did remember McAvoy was in it.

In all honesty, it was an OK way to pass a rainy afternoon, but only if you got the 5 quid tickets and didn't buy any food or drink. 

I watched 'It's What's Inside' the other day. For a debut film it's both shot really well and written well. It's a good mix of sci fi mystery and dark comedy.

Yes thought the same. It's a remake, original was filmed in Denmark I think.

Fuck it, wrong thread.

Finished first series of Blue Lights  - I started to struggle with it a bit and the hour long episodes. I get they are trying to make it feel 'real' grizzly Belfast, and all that, but ultimately the viewer wants to be entertained, it's just a bit too 'serious' and in some a little depressing. Line of Duty is way better.

Doing a great job of publicising it, though.

Mathews never recovered after I left her.
she was a gobbler for sure
