I've only seen the trailer so far, but I'm not very impressed. So much rave around Wicked looks suspicious to me. Quote

I don't know about the Wicked (haven't been following this movie) so unfortunately I don't know anything. I have a bootleg copy of Gladiator II and being a big fan of the original I skimmed through and found it very similar. Youtubers are starting to figure it out too and lol: Quote

I will watch it too- it is still pretty interesting and nuts. Overall from fans it seems that the GII is decent but has flaws, and doesn't compare to the original which is frankly a high bar to cross. Quote

I think that's why it's become a classic. Quote
Cult Icon Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Nosferatu 2024 is a pretty cool film. I want to see Eggers other work too (Witch, Lighthouse, etc) Quote
