Date: December 27th, 2024 1:18 AM Author: internet guy how does it make any sense that Hanno/Lucius is Maximus's son? Lucious was like 7 when Maximus died. Maximus could not have arrived to Rome and fought as a gladiator for more than a year or two. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5655006&forum_id=2Elisa#48490762) |

They went to retarded lengths to have lots of connections to the first film. It was completely unnecessary and reminded me of watching The Force Awakens. hollywood thinks viewers want the same fucking movie. It’s so much worse than the first Gladiator. |

Date: December 27th, 2024 1:53 AM Author: Fyre festival founder What do you mean? His kid with his wife was like 7. Lucius was 11 or something so that means he banged the princess/queen chick like 4 years before he got with his wife. What’s the issue (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5655006&forum_id=2Elisa#48490824) |
|
Date: December 27th, 2024 11:38 AM Author: internet guy Yes how does that make sense that Maximus would have had the opportunity to bang the princess. It's inconsistent with the storyline in the first movie.
In the first film, he was dedicated to his wife, and constantly abroad for foreign wars. There was no storyline at all surrounding a love affair between Maximus and the princess. It is forced through in the second film and out of place. |

Date: December 27th, 2024 11:50 AM Author: internet guy Who likes these sorts of storylines? There was no need to have Hanno be the son of Maximus in this one. There is nothing lost if he is just the son of Marcus Aurelius, who was a great emperor in his own right. The son of Marcus Aurelius picking up where Maximus left off would have worked just fine.

|
Date: December 27th, 2024 12:28 PM Author: internet guy I guess so, but its still flatly inconsistent with his devotion to his wife in the first movie and also unecessary for the second movie. Hanno could have just been left as the son of Marcus Aurelius and nothing would be lost. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5655006&forum_id=2Elisa#48492100) |

Date: December 27th, 2024 1:27 PM Author: state your IQ before I engage you further There's pretty clear sexual tension between them in the first movie. They make oblique references to a shared past. However, their kids are the same age, so he must have dumped a load into her while also being fiercely devoted to his wife.
MAXIMUS: Many things change. LUCILLA: Many things, not everything. [Maximus turns to leave.] Maximus, stop. Let me see your face. You seem upset. MAXIMUS: I lost many men. LUCILLA: What did my father want with you? MAXIMUS: To wish me well before I leave for home. [Again, he turns to leave.] LUCILLA: You are lying. I could always tell when you were lying because you were never good at it.
[Maximus looks back at her sharply and approaches.]
MAXIMUS: I never acquired your comfort with it. LUCILLA: True. But then you never had to. Life is more simpler for a soldier. Or do you think me heartless? MAXIMUS: I think you have a talent for survival. [Again, he turns to leave. Lucilla laughs, wanting to prolong their time together.] LUCILLA: Maximus, stop. Is it really so terrible seeing me again? MAXIMUS: No. I am tired from battle. LUCILLA: It hurts you to see my father so fragile. [Maximus nods.] LUCILLA: Commodus expects my father to announce succession within days. Will you serve my brother as you have served my father? MAXIMUS: I will always serve Rome. LUCILLA: You know, I still remember you in my prayers. Oh, yes I pray. MAXIMUS: I was sad to hear of your husband's death. I mourned him. LUCILLA: Thank you. MAXIMUS: And I hear that you have a son. LUCILLA: Yes, Lucius. He will be nearly 8 years old. MAXIMUS: My son is also nearly 8. [Again, a moment of peace overcomes him as he speaks of his family] I thank you for your prayers. [Maximus leaves Lucilla as she stands alone, looking after him.]

Date: December 27th, 2024 11:44 AM Author: internet guy Lol. The other two movies I watched ove the past few days, Dune II and Love and Monsters, were both leagues better. The second one was campy and cheap and still so much more entertaining.
The dialogue was an absolute joke. |
|
Date: December 27th, 2024 11:42 AM Author: internet guy It did get better. The storyline did get more interesting. But it still felt like a long soap opera. It felt less important and serious than the first film. Maybe it has something to do with the film they are using to shoot. It's super high def. It felt unrealistic unlike the first one. Macrinus's machinations were not that complex and were too easily accomplished. When he convinced the co-emperor to blame his brother, that was too easily done. The Senate folded too easily.

Date: December 27th, 2024 1:35 PM Author: .,.,...,..,.,.,:,,:,.,.,:::,....,:,..,:.:.,:.::, I saw it yesterday. Gladiator I is one of my all time favorite movies.
Gladiator II was *not good* I’m sorry to say. You were right that the CGI monkeys were really embarrassing, it looked like some sort of B rate video game. The characters and plot were worse. The only good part was the initial battle, which was ok but nowhere near as good as the battle of the Teutoburg forest. The ship battle in the colosseum, while quasi historical, was a joke due to the crappy CGI sharks.
It had the quality of that sarricus show on skinimax. Really sad that we can’t make movies in this country anymore as good as we did 20 years ago. |

Date: December 27th, 2024 2:06 PM Author: state your IQ before I engage you further Gladiator's fight scenes are 180000, but it's the non-fight scenes that make Gladiator a GREAT movie. Guessing the sequel ignores this.
Marcus and Maximus early on ("I brought the sword -- nothing more." "The world is brutal and cold and dark. Rome is the light." Their faces while Maximus describes his home. "Will you accept this great honor?" "With all my heart: no.") and Oliver Reed's entire "win the crowd" speech. |

Date: December 27th, 2024 3:14 PM Author: internet guy The value in II is making you realize just how good Gladiator I was.
During the arena fight scenes, in G1 Maximus had to prep these good fighters to take on trained roman gladiators. He had to come up with a halfhazard plan before each of the games that the others kept in mind if they wanted to survive. He knew they were mostly outmatched and needed to sub in creativity from his experience as a warrior and general.
None of that happened in GII. They all just came out of the gate being amazing gladiators.
In G1, Maximus was also believable as a true elite fighter in his own right. He had lasted in the roman army for 20-30 years, knew battle logistics, had major victories over the barbarians behind him, and understood calm under pressure. It was not unbelievable that he would fare well against other gladiators.
But Hanno? He was a general in a third rate colony that easily was taken over by the romans. There's no background to him to suggest he should be an elite fighter who can handle the dozens of fighters he faced. Why would he so easily defeat any of the fighters? It's not clear. |

Date: December 27th, 2024 4:36 PM Author: magadood Cr. Everything about Gladiator 1 was better. The people coming up with shit are unbelievably stupid. They even needed to make the fights absurd and full of CGI so it would feel like a step up over the first film. And then it ends with another ridiculous fight, since Macrinus would rather ride out and fight the highly skilled gladiator one on one instead of letting his larger army defend Rome (against an army that was willing to fight for almost no reason). I will never watch this movie again. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5655006&forum_id=2Elisa#48493210) |

Date: December 27th, 2024 4:21 PM Author: cowgod Saw this Film ages ago and I have to agree. The Poor Graphics in Films just reminds me of the State of Gaming btw. There will inevitably be a patch to improve graphics and it’ll be optional DLC. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5655006&forum_id=2Elisa#48493133) |
