His nose actually fits perfectly to his face and is an integral part of his attractiveness💯

It looks solid but damn the footsteps from the OG Gladiator are huge. I'm not sure this 2nd attempt will have the same impact. This trailer looks more like... bigger, louder, faster with nothing really new to say? Even the emporer is a crazy nucklehead once again (maybe too much incest lol) and instead of one there a two? (more like I said lol). Also what is this modern song choice? I think the OG soundtrack (maybe kinda rewritten) would have been epic. But at least this song choice is something new 😄
I will watch it of course. Maybe my first impression is wrong.
I liked that it's kinda build on Maximus story. The flashbacks made me shiver. Not sure if that is a good or a bad sign for all the new stuff. Denzel seems indeed the standout.

I don't care, I'm pretty simple gal and I love "big, loud, fast" blockbusters if they're made with high quality and have a great actors😁

Isn't it just a song for trailer?

Name me 5 of your faves so I have an idea what you're talking about 😋

Spoiler
Only 5? In fact, this is almost every cult classic (or will become cult classic later) action blockbuster movie. Mad Max Fury Road, Dune 2, Tenet by Nolan, The Dark Knight trilogy by Nolan, Star Wars (the ones from 70s-80s) came to mind. Some of them may be stronger/weaker in the plot, but these are high-quality action blockbusters.
^You really have high hopes for Gladiator II then (I have too!!!).
But none of the movies you listed is the understanding of "bigger louder faster" for me let alone that I think Gladiator 2 is capable becoming a cult classic. At least not after this 1rst trailer 😄
The "bigger louder faster" section for me is Transformers, DC, most of Marvel, Avatar 1-400, everything Tom Cruise and directors like Roland Emmerich and Jerry Bruckheimer 😄
Cult Classic is the highest possible standard any movie can reach blockbuster or not imo, then there are high profile blockbusters and finally just blockbusters. Maybe there is another spot for crappy blockbusters/bombs.
However I hope Gladiator 2 can deliver one of those higher standards and isn't just some "other" blockbuster let alone a bomb because of the massive budget.
