It's sad to see so many good titles get ruined because of this (lemm.ee)

To hear Russell Crowe tell it, Gladiator 2 may suffer from this

They're making a Gladiator Two? WTF? Why? How? Let me guess, he knocked up Commodus' sister when she visited him in prison and the kid will be betrayed by the Senate and have to fight its way back into power?

I think it's Joachim Phoenix's character's son, but yeah...

I met someone who worked on this movie and she says 2 is gonna be pretty okay-ish, not bad but nowhere near as good as the original.

If even the people making it are like "it's pretty mid", it was probably a waste of time lol

Since everybody knows it's going to be mediocre, they should have just used the budget to make a historically-realistic movie about something in that era.

Yeah, but it's not like anything interesting and movie-worthy ever happened back then.

There's a short 1 season long series called "barbarians" which is supposedly pretty good. I don't know if they made a session 2, but I know that season 1 had a conclusion and all historic advisors left work for season 2 because it became ridiculous.
