'Gladiator II' review: Ridley Scott grapples with modern masculinity in ancient Rome

Summary

Nutrition label

65% Informative

Ridley Scott's long-awaited sequel is an extraordinary creation, made up of outrageous action sequences inspired by ancient history and emotional storytelling underpinned by modern ideals of masculinity.

In the sequel, he's all grown up and played by Paul Mescal , a contemporary figure of non-toxic masculinity.

Many of these seemingly ludicrous moments are actually cherry-picked from Rome 's heyday.

Denzel Washington is glorious as Gladiator II's most compelling figure.

The tropes in this emperor diptych are bizarrely dated, undercutting the film's exploration of masculinity by leaning into regressive tropes.

The film is full of action, drama, and palpable emotion, but tiresome and tiresome.

Still, it's undeniably enthralling, which is more than can be said for his similarly grand Napoleon . For all its faults, Gladiator II is an extraordinary film, the kind that demands to be seen in theaters. Gladiator II opens in theaters Nov. 22 . Topics Film.
