Having Paul Mescal as Lucius just be Maximus 2.0 was probably not the right choice. He tried so hard to sound like Russell Crowe in 2nd half, and almost sounded like him while he gives monologue to freed gladiators in cells. Denzel on the other hand, was so good as Marcinus. The 2nd half was all over the place for me. This felt more of a remake of the original movie than a sequel.
The only good thing for me, the games in the Colosseum were awesome to watch on big screen. Sharks, Rhino, if there were more of that in this sequel, I would’ve been Entertained a bit more.
