  • GLADIATOR II (no spoilers)

    A young warrior is captured by the Roman army, and forced to fight as entertainment. Director Ridley Scott returns for GLADIATOR II (Amazon)
    but, though this sequel's visuals are expectedly noteworthy, its
    storyline is almost shockingly uninspired. Minimally recommended.

    I'd say: to be avoided. You're better off watching the original again.

    The sequel was OK, up until the ending where I feel like it really lost
    the thread. But, yeah - the original is much, much better.
