Gladiator II 2024
A good film that’s unable to get out of its own way.
It’s very rare to see a ‘swords and sandals’ epic nowadays, but I’m glad we got this. My only issue is that (as with many films of the last 3 years), they’re stuck in nostalgia-bait. Can’t possibly have an original story without a recognisable IP attached.

The MCU has truly lost its way and has no idea why it eventually exists anymore.
Extra 1/2 star for the Hulk fight being pretty good.
