Vprento’s 2024 Movies: Best to Worst
While "Gladiator II" is definitely entertaining, there's no denying that this was a completely unnecessary sequel that fails to stand on its own and references the original at every opportunity. Multiple storylines are thrown together and none of them are resolved in satisfying ways.
