    Gladiator II

    ★★½

    Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was this movie—which is surprising, considering it's a hollow echo of its predecessor, constantly reminding us of the original's greatness while diluting it with a flat plot veiled behind glistening abs.

While it certainly meets its quotas for gratuitous gore and cameos, I was surprised by how relatively reserved it felt. To some extent, I actually wish they had taken more creative liberties with the cameos—if there’s a movie to go all out for and to close off the multiverse saga, this is the one!

    I also have an apology to make……
