I was entertained!
The story line in this film was a lot different than I was expecting! I loved that Maximus really wasn't able to stop the corruption of Rome from spreading. When the corruption runs so deep, it is really hard to try and dig it all out! The story line did not have the heart that the original one did so well with!
The acting in this movie was amazing! Paul Mescal was perfect casting as Lucius! He really looked like he could've been Russell Crowe's son! Denzel Washington stole the show IMO. You hated him so much, and you had no idea what he was going to do next! Pedro Pascal's role was so much different than what I was expecting! You felt so bad for him! Connie Nielsen showed that she has still got it! Joseph Quinn & Fred Hechinger did a great job as the twin Emperors! Both were so crazy, and unstable, loved their performances a lot!
The action scenes were really good as well. But they were not as memorable as the original film. They just lacked the personal feeling that the first film's action scenes had.
They have definitely left the door open for a sequel! I am curious as to what kind of direction they will take, and if it will end the trilogy on a positive note!
I knew going into this film that it would not top the original film in any way shape or form, but I was still surprised at how good it was!
Out of 4 stars I would give it...
3 out of 4 stars
