Are you not entertained?! Ridley Scott's long-delayed Gladiator II finally hits cinemas around the globe this weekend, with it primed for a. U.S. release next weekend where it will be competing with Universal Pictures's apparent OSCAR contender Wicked. The buzz for this one has been building and building over the last few months, as we've been hearing from more and more sources that this sequel was 'the real deal' and 'Ridley Scott's best since The Martian'. The first Gladiator is an easy top 50 film of all-time for me so my expectations weren't exactly low going into Gladiator II... at least, that's how they would've been if not for Ridley Scott's films over the last 2 decades being pretty hit and miss. Is Gladiator II indeed Ridley Scott's best in years? Find out in this review!
