Like the antagonist himself, the film lures you in and leads you to a cruel and inevatible ending.
(Don't waste time with the pale 1993 American remake, it won't reward your viewing)

I regret not making the extra effort to see this in the cinema. Great story, affecting ending and the musical score is so damn good.
Gladiator II is competent, straight-up blockbuster filmmaking that knows exactly how to deliver spectacle.
