Don't read the AP review, it hit me with about 4 spoilers.
After the first one did you keep reading thinking surely there will be no more?The Porkchop Express said:

Agreed.
My one complaint, whether Gladiator or Troy or others, stop making the armor, especially the chest armor plate, look so plastic, comfortable, and flexible. Even if the armor was boiled hard leather instead of bronze or iron, it just looks bad. It needs to look really uncomfortable. Because it was.

If you're a Roman history nerd, the armor not looking realistic will probably place 55th in your list of stuff that makes this kind of ridiculous, coming well after a CGI rhino being ridden into the arena and a flooded arena with CGI sharks. As a history guy I get movies not needing to be documentaries, but I'll never really understand needing to take something that was awesome and jarring in and of itself and Michael Bay it. That being said, this'll be one to just try to click your brain off and just watch.

You realize that's critical drinker sharing review by a guy from NYT and not his own review, I hope.

Well then go check out his love letters to the fantastic film Falling Down.
Bro moment
I saw a promo for the new Gladiator movie and said to my husband, “That looks good. I wonder if I need to see the original first so I know what’s going on.” My husband jumped up and with his full outside voice said, “YOU’VE NEVER SEEN GLADIATOR?!?”

Traffic is overrated.
Just got out of seeing it. Great movie. Epic doesn't begin to describe the scenes in the colosseum. Pascal and Denzel do an amazing job with their character, A+ acting. I didn't care for the guy who played Maximus' son much but it might be just because of the talent he was sharing the screen with.
5/5 stars, go see it. For sure

Or are you talking about the son of the emperor's sister?
I have been mostly meh on this. So I'm probably going to base my decision on seeing it on posters' thoughts here.
Gladiator was a perfect movie. No sequel needed IMO.

Abu Dhabi. They have more theaters here than they know what to do with. I see several movies a week, and there's usually a 50/50 chance I'm the only one there.
Gotcha.
Well I gotta say, it's bizarre to me your choice of seat in an empty theater.

I'm 6'6" so I like sitting in the aisle
I am incredibly bummed that they are retconning Lucius to be Maximus's son. So did he cheat on his wife or did he knock up Connie Nielsen and then go get married to someone who lives hundreds of miles after that and get that chick pregnant ? Because his kid that gets trucked by the horse doesn't look that much younger than Lucius.Cinco Ranch Aggie said:What son?Quote:

Real son
Retcon son
They look at least 6 years apart to me.
Real son looks 5-6, Lucius looks 11-12.
I'm not against the retcon, because there were enough hints in the first movie that he could've been the father.
What I do dislike is that they revealed it in a freaking trailer. That should've been a huge moment in the movie.

You were closer, the actors are 5 years apart. Not sure why I was too dumb to look them up in IMDB before posting.Brian Earl Spilner said:

Real son was 8 in 2000, so probably 7 when they filmed. He's also the kid in Life is Beautiful
Lucius was 12 when they filmed, 13 in 2000.
