I can't wait for the reviews to drop from all these guys when this movie gets shit out of Hollywood's asshole. I can't believe they're giving it that much of a chance! It looks terrible
Think about why. They haven't brought any new male actors into Hollywood in too long. Timothee Chalamet is the only new regular that springs to mind and he's too weedy to play many roles. The remainers are aging out. They mostly banned hero type actors for 10 odd years so there's less than a handful left and only remain because they're too big to ignore i.e. Reynolds. Cavill's still young enough but never gets a go. Pascal toes the line and says exactly what they want him to so who are they left with? (Even he's getting on)
At this point we can all agree that most of the "original" ideas and concepts actually have been pretty well explored. The problem is that there are still so many recipes for success if you can just simply have a solid story with good writing you can still pull off one hell of a story to show on the screen. But everything is being forsaken in spite of the fans/audience and in full favor of the "agenda". The concepts and ideas are now just "put a chic in it and make her ghey, and lame". We all knew the slippery slope was actually just a cliff for people to jump off of. We reap what we sow.

It's apparent that the counter to cancel culture is that when it comes for you, you always double and triple down, and the one thing you never do under any circumstances is to make a formal apology of any kind whatsoever. You take their gripes and turn them into more memes and more content for yourself. Think about guys like Joe Rogan, Bill Burr, Jordan Peterson, Patrice O'neal...etc. Cancel culture came at them and they spit in its face. And in the end, they maintained their original audience and picked up a few more members along the way. The ones that left or never hopped the fence were never welcome to begin with, so nothing was ever missed.
CANCEL IT ! NOW ! Where's muh diversity in ancient Rome ? Why didn't you hire any tractors ? I'm pretty sure shape shifting was very common thing in that period.
The setting in this kind of movie only needs an orchestra behind it for a soundtrack. A solid orchestral soundtrack can emphasize the lows, mids, and highs as they are needed for the kind of story this is supposed to be. They are trying too hard. As the old saying goes, by trying to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one. It's ridiculous.

I'm sure the "spectacle" portion of the movie will be entertaining. The actual story will likely be contrived and not make a whole lot of sense in the end. Meaning that yes, it may well be a consumable product with a mixed bag result. If the action scenes are plentiful and well done, it might be enough to distract from just how bad the actual story is. So, we'll have to watch it to find out. I mean it does have Denzel. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing though.
I was discussing this with my daughter last night. In the 80's and 90's creativity in movies and especially youth movies was flourishing.

They are so desperate to hang on to their little dragon piles of gold that they will make x10 remakes, gender/race swap old IP and attack anyone who says they suck. Well, you suck and you're fooling nobody. Hollywood? What is is good for? Absolutely nothing.
Early...How the hell is it Nerdrotic's fault, it makes no sense. You made a movie that is very obviously a cash grab and you made a sequel that no one wanted.

A major reason why Gladiator worked was because as of the first second Maximus oozed respect. You see someone who is respected yet humble. You care for him even though he is a general. And then all this injustice that is done to him. You really stand by him. I'm convinced that this movie will lack this kind of emotion that it brings to the audience.
Yes bad trailer music but doubt it will be in the film, I heard it will have the same score from the original in the film. The real problem is no one asked for this sequel.

😂😂 as someone who loves Rom - Coms, this thread is hilarious because I'm picturing the romantic scenes to death metal because played in the background lolol.
Did you watch the first movie? They basically worked North Africa into the Roman theme and assumed Nubians would have been here and there. It's NOT impossible. If Denzel ran a ludus after being freed as a champion, it's not impossible.
What did they do to get Denzel to play in this? Blackmail him? Abduct one of his kids? Denzel literally only picks roles suited for him. What is going on with Denzel? He can't be broke. 😅
He's getting old. In the last Equalizer, he was sitting down a lot. He probably can't do the action movies like he used to and isn't getting the parts that he used to. So he's doing supporting cast stuff like this. For good money. BAFTA and the Academy also have ridiculous rules about casting minorities for award consideration, so he fills a role here.
1:31 Yeah, no. The normal reaction to sequel to Gladiator is "Why are you making a sequel 24 years later? Not like you're gonna get Crowe back. It's just to try and cash-in on nostalgia. Top Gun at least got Tom Cruise back".
Exactly! Hollywood learned ALL the wrong lessons from Top Gun Maverick. Now they're doing nothing but sequels to classic movies decades in the past to shit on their memory and stuff it full of Marxist propaganda
you still have the first movie ending. if this movie is good and entertains you, it did its job. In the end. the job of this movie is to entertain... ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?
I was out of this one the minute I heard Pedro "I say everything my publicist tells me to so that I can be bestest boy in Hollywood" Pascal in it. Also WTF is that whenever there is a black character in anything, hip hop is the first thing that comes to their minds? If they'd played some sort of ethereal world music, it would confuse and turn away the black audience?
I hit dislike as soon as the rap music came on didn't even see nerdrotic response before then, the first movie trailer for gladiator 1 used hans zimmer score, one of the best film score composers and my favorite. I'm big on film scores and trailer music this trailer was crap. If you guys want to learn more about film music and how important it is for trailers and movies recommend the hans zimmer documentary whoever made this trailer is not skilled in making trailers at all , and revealed the whole movie even showing the bad guy get killed at the end, and the outcome of the rhino battle. Also hans zimmer is not returning to compose this film which says a lot in itself. Hans Zimmer recent master piece was for dune 2 , he composes for good movies and was actually a dune fan. Just with that I'm betting hans zimmer doesn't like this movie and declined to do the music.
What you'd expect from the score of a movie taking place in Rome: beautiful orchestral score with an operatic voice belting in Latin like it's a Souls game or something. What we get: modern rap cuz there's a black dude in it. Black people like rap music right? Let's put a rap track over it. It's AC Shadows all over again... and we get called racists for pointing it out.
one major upside, this movie is so detached from the original, for the aesthetic, to the music, and to the character design, that we can literally count this as a D rated movie that just happened to have the name Gladiator, kinda like Jarhead 2
So Gary is to blame because he thought most of the content was ok but mocked the trailer soundtrack, rightly so. People are rating the trailer and the trash music makes it a trash trailer. Remove the music and it’ll be fine.
Most normies I know don't hate it specifically, they just wonder "why does it have to exist?" They know a sequel is very likely to fall short of expectations, the odds are well against it. Joe's been huffing paint.
The normal reaction to a Gladiator sequel before watching the trailer would be "Why?". After watching the trailer, the normal reaction is "Really, they're using the IP for this? Just how much did they pay Ridley Scott for this one?".
@@ANGRYWOLVERINE2060-ft2nc Was it? The original sequel idea was his, but was this one? Or did a suit at Paramount digging through their acquired IPs go to him in 2018 and shower him with money to make a sequel.
When I saw the trailer I couldn't stop thinking to myself on why this was made, it looks good and that's about it, there's no septimus Severus they got his sons wrong, and there was never any black emperors of Rome except maybe one and I think and that's debatable .
Playing All-Star also proves this point. It destroys the tone of the film. Many genres of music played ruin the immersion.
Před měsícem
Exactly, the right tone for the right job. You dont have Finding Nemo with a soundtrack consisting of nothing but songs by Dick Delicious and the Pussy Destroyers. Now to a more serious example. Warhammer 40k fan edits, it either has to be something gothic/operatic/haunting or just Heavy metal, and even that is limited in its sub genres that are fitting, like emo stuff wont fly, but Power Metal and such do work. Also Sabaton are excellent for war themed songs, but no way are they doing a soundtrack to Barbie 2
What’s funny is I watched Gary and a bunch of the guys react to the trailer. They were all positive. All all of them said they were gonna go see the movie. The only thing they didn’t like was the music choice.
How TF do you make a sequel for The Gladiator?? It had the epic beginning war, the betrayal and great revenge plot, the engaging "slave standing up against the emperor" angle was great, and it had the most satisfying (the feels!) ending ever. It was a great "One-and-done" year 2000 movie. WHY TF DID RIDLEY SCOTT even consider making sequel for this?? IT WAS ALREADY PERFECT, it didn't NEED a sequel SMH
Nerdrotic genuine genius. The original gladiator perfect because everything fit together. Remake ridiculous nothing quite fits . The music doesn't fit at all.
It's a completely unnecessary sequel made by someone set on destroying his earlier work, the actor playing the main character looks as exciting as vanilla ice cream and the cRap music is completely out of place.
A lot of the time, if someone gets a lead role in a film like this, they're an up-and-comer with serious talent. Even if they flop in a film like this, they could come back with another hit later on.
That's funny....Ben Shapiro already testified that media corrupt, biased and controlled. MOST media outlets need to disappear. I miss the days of reading cinscape, fangoria and other mags weekly at borders or Walden's they just wrote about flicks...no rage baiting by a bunch of talentless losers.
Except for the music, Gary said he thought the movie could be good. If he's so influential, how is the trailer ratio'd 33k to 1.6k on Screen Culture? 254k to 128k on Paramount Pictures?
The idea of a Gladiator 2 is stupid by concept... Their prog stupidity is just digging more a tomb that already existed. Gladiator 2, Shrek 5, Toy Story 5.... Damn it, Hollywood...your creativity is dead.
I feel consumers just want something new. They are bored of sequels and remakes. This was a sequel nobody wanted, expected, or asked for to a movie that didn't need one. Hollywood needs to go back to original writing and they positive reviews they want will come back.
The backlash is simple and results from 3 points. 1)Rhino's can not be saddle trained, 2)Ancient Romans hated Gangster rap, and the main reason the movie is hated is 3)Pedro "Commie Boi" Pasqual the maligner of St. Carrano.
Really? Again? Do they think Gary is a Super Villain? His only powers are forgetting things, breaking his own monitor and being the best damn gamer there ever was.
*Grift has **_always_** had a negative meaning.* I've always thought of the term with my homemade definition: "someone doing something for financial, reputational, or political gain, while disagreeing with the belief, concept, or practice used for the gain." But, the dictionary has it covered - *"Grift: a group of methods for obtaining money falsely through the use of swindles, frauds, dishonest gambling, etc."* I've pointed this out a couple times over the years, no disrespect or anything!
Even more funny because this was my exact reaction. I yelled to my wife "hey babe look a new gladiator movie!" Then we watched it and halfway though, I said Goddamit they had to put rap music in it cuz...Denzel. Turned it off😂
im gonna skip it, what made the og movie great was it followed the career of one guy, im sure this is the typical modern crap with no main character but several with a little story for each of them and they come together in the end in a stupid way. this is a sequel no one really wanted.
A few Ridley Scott trailers have jarring contemporary music, but you don't put that stuff in your first trailer. The first Gladiator teaser had freaking "Anvil of Crom" by Basil Poledouris.
It's even smothered with 'Black rap' type music... WTF? The original had ethereal and classical music that ACTUALLY gave a real FEEL to the film... G2... UTTER SH!TE...
can we go back to when trailers started with the green "approved for all audiences" banner then went to the trailer and the trailer had thematic music that fit the theme of the movie? who at hollywood collectively thought "trailer starts now" clips then micro trailer then trailer was a remotely good idea and kept doing it?
The only major complain was the background music and Nerdrotic gonna watch it regardless of what he sees on the trailer. They were just having fun and laughing about it. What the problem with that.
I literally have zero woke complaints or diversity complaints.. Hollywood,writers,directors have made me not excited for it. I’m expecting trash and nostalgia baiting from them. They did it to me.. not Gary.. It’s effing gladiator ffs. I should be happy.
Gladiator was a stand alone movie which doesn't need a sequel.

Who thought rap would play well in a gladiator trailer? I hope somebody is getting fired
That was most likely a trans black man named saint Floyd
LOL, you should come visit southern California and then you will understand
What did they do to get Denzel to play in this? Blackmail him? Abduct one of his kids? Denzel literally only picks roles suited for him. What is going on with Denzel? He can't be broke. 😅
He's getting old. In the last Equalizer, he was sitting down a lot. He probably can't do the action movies like he used to and isn't getting the parts that he used to. So he's doing supporting cast stuff like this. For good money.
BAFTA and the Academy also have ridiculous rules about casting minorities for award consideration, so he fills a role here.
he has been a friend of ridley scott. most the movies that he's in is with ridley scott.
@cheeseburgersuperior1874 yeah also Denzel was in at least 4 Tony Scott movies. They know each pretty well
compromised, like 99 percent of the rest.
He's been in Hollywood decades.... He has skeletons
1:31 Yeah, no. The normal reaction to sequel to Gladiator is "Why are you making a sequel 24 years later? Not like you're gonna get Crowe back. It's just to try and cash-in on nostalgia. Top Gun at least got Tom Cruise back".
Top Gun was also a great movie.
Exactly! Hollywood learned ALL the wrong lessons from Top Gun Maverick.
Now they're doing nothing but sequels to classic movies decades in the past to shit on their memory and stuff it full of Marxist propaganda
A movie with a perfect ending is getting a sequel? This is the most numpty brained move in existence.
Marxism demands like comedus
you still have the first movie ending. if this movie is good and entertains you, it did its job. In the end. the job of this movie is to entertain... ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?
@@highlanderc As of now, no. But I haven't been entertained by Hollywood (with a few outlying exceptions) in around 10 years.
Next sequel despite a perfect ending…Shawshank Redemption 2: Brokeback in Tijuana
I was out of this one the minute I heard Pedro "I say everything my publicist tells me to so that I can be bestest boy in Hollywood" Pascal in it.
Also WTF is that whenever there is a black character in anything, hip hop is the first thing that comes to their minds? If they'd played some sort of ethereal world music, it would confuse and turn away the black audience?
All it did was make me, as a black person, not wanna go see it.
The panoramic of Rome & the Colosseum, everything looks cool, then the music begins...
"I'M BLUE DA BA DEE DA BA DI..."
I hit dislike as soon as the rap music came on didn't even see nerdrotic response before then, the first movie trailer for gladiator 1 used hans zimmer score, one of the best film score composers and my favorite. I'm big on film scores and trailer music this trailer was crap. If you guys want to learn more about film music and how important it is for trailers and movies recommend the hans zimmer documentary whoever made this trailer is not skilled in making trailers at all , and revealed the whole movie even showing the bad guy get killed at the end, and the outcome of the rhino battle.
Also hans zimmer is not returning to compose this film which says a lot in itself. Hans Zimmer recent master piece was for dune 2 , he composes for good movies and was actually a dune fan. Just with that I'm betting hans zimmer doesn't like this movie and declined to do the music.
"Suffer the backlash, you must, gladiator. This is the way"
Gaius Yodatus Greenicus
why build sets and hire extras.. That involves work. Imagine having to get your hands dirty, ehhh gross
What you'd expect from the score of a movie taking place in Rome: beautiful orchestral score with an operatic voice belting in Latin like it's a Souls game or something.
What we get: modern rap cuz there's a black dude in it. Black people like rap music right? Let's put a rap track over it. It's AC Shadows all over again... and we get called racists for pointing it out.
It's utterly racist.
Gladiator walks into the arena -
House of pain - JUMP AROUND plays . . .
Imagine watching a trailer for a movie set in ancient rome and careless whisper starts playing.
Gladiator = ancient Rome not modern day music for a modern audience.
People want a time machine . We want to travel to something NOT of 2024.
"Nerd man bad. Nerd man bad. Nerd man bad."
Some freak at The Daily Beast, probably.
And he can’t even open the door in the Witcher III lol 😂
one major upside, this movie is so detached from the original, for the aesthetic, to the music, and to the character design, that we can literally count this as a D rated movie that just happened to have the name Gladiator, kinda like Jarhead 2
Gladiator 2 is the sequel that ZERO people asked for
Never stop using that facepalm thumbnail.
I much prefer the (( 😮)) thumbnails from Geeks + Gamers Clips
Please stop playing peekaboo in the thumbnail

Gladiator II: Slave harder
So Gary is to blame because he thought most of the content was ok but mocked the trailer soundtrack, rightly so.
People are rating the trailer and the trash music makes it a trash trailer.
Remove the music and it’ll be fine.
Most normies I know don't hate it specifically, they just wonder "why does it have to exist?"
They know a sequel is very likely to fall short of expectations, the odds are well against it. Joe's been huffing paint.
The normal reaction to a Gladiator sequel before watching the trailer would be "Why?". After watching the trailer, the normal reaction is "Really, they're using the IP for this? Just how much did they pay Ridley Scott for this one?".
It was Scott's idea .
@@ANGRYWOLVERINE2060-ft2nc Was it? The original sequel idea was his, but was this one? Or did a suit at Paramount digging through their acquired IPs go to him in 2018 and shower him with money to make a sequel.
When I saw the trailer I couldn't stop thinking to myself on why this was made, it looks good and that's about it, there's no septimus Severus they got his sons wrong, and there was never any black emperors of Rome except maybe one and I think and that's debatable .
Ridley Scott has lost his dawdgone mind and cannot be trusted to make good movies anymore. Did Napoleon teach you nothing?
Playing All-Star also proves this point.
It destroys the tone of the film.
Many genres of music played ruin the immersion.
Exactly, the right tone for the right job.
You dont have Finding Nemo with a soundtrack consisting of nothing but songs by Dick Delicious and the Pussy Destroyers.
Now to a more serious example.
Warhammer 40k fan edits, it either has to be something gothic/operatic/haunting or just Heavy metal, and even that is limited in its sub genres that are fitting, like emo stuff wont fly, but Power Metal and such do work.
Also Sabaton are excellent for war themed songs, but no way are they doing a soundtrack to Barbie 2
What’s funny is I watched Gary and a bunch of the guys react to the trailer. They were all positive. All all of them said they were gonna go see the movie. The only thing they didn’t like was the music choice.
Cant take any responsibility for their own failure. Always someone else's fault. 🤷♂
of course. Either Trumps, racist or bigots fault
How TF do you make a sequel for The Gladiator?? It had the epic beginning war, the betrayal and great revenge plot, the engaging "slave standing up against the emperor" angle was great, and it had the most satisfying (the feels!) ending ever. It was a great "One-and-done" year 2000 movie. WHY TF DID RIDLEY SCOTT even consider making sequel for this?? IT WAS ALREADY PERFECT, it didn't NEED a sequel SMH
Dude, Ridley considers Comodo a victim rather a villain.
The guy about Gladiator is pretty...weird.
Gladiator has no sequel. Gladiator needs no sequel.
Agreed. Should be a stand-alone movie.
They were quite positive on the trailer outside of the rap song
The only troll is some idiot in marketing who decided to put a rap song in a trailer about ancient Rome.
Nerdrotic genuine genius.
The original gladiator perfect because everything fit together.
Remake ridiculous nothing quite fits . The music doesn't fit at all.
It's a completely unnecessary sequel made by someone set on destroying his earlier work, the actor playing the main character looks as exciting as vanilla ice cream and the cRap music is completely out of place.
A lot of the time, if someone gets a lead role in a film like this, they're an up-and-comer with serious talent. Even if they flop in a film like this, they could come back with another hit later on.
That's funny....Ben Shapiro already testified that media corrupt, biased and controlled. MOST media outlets need to disappear. I miss the days of reading cinscape, fangoria and other mags weekly at borders or Walden's they just wrote about flicks...no rage baiting by a bunch of talentless losers.
The historical inaccuracies can't be ignored.
I'm impressed at his power to influence people across the internet
Wtf? I just watched Nerdrotic on Heels saying it looked GOOD and he WILL watch it. These people are just immoral.
Except for the music, Gary said he thought the movie could be good. If he's so influential, how is the trailer ratio'd 33k to 1.6k on Screen Culture?
254k to 128k on Paramount Pictures?
The idea of a Gladiator 2 is stupid by concept...
Their prog stupidity is just digging more a tomb that already existed.
Gladiator 2, Shrek 5, Toy Story 5....
Damn it, Hollywood...your creativity is dead.
prog is a correct assessment.
just like Assassins' Creed Shadows fighting to Hip Hop music, such BS
I feel consumers just want something new. They are bored of sequels and remakes. This was a sequel nobody wanted, expected, or asked for to a movie that didn't need one. Hollywood needs to go back to original writing and they positive reviews they want will come back.
trailer looked like guilty pleasure to me, BUT it shouldnt be called Gladiator 2 but be its own movie and stand on its own legs!
Gladiator 2 is 23 years too late. It's a movie that should've never existed.
The backlash is simple and results from 3 points. 1)Rhino's can not be saddle trained, 2)Ancient Romans hated Gangster rap, and the main reason the movie is hated is 3)Pedro "Commie Boi" Pasqual the maligner of St. Carrano.
At least Denzel didn't make that "Hannibal" (the general) movie that was rumored 20yrs ago.
No strong woman of color protagonist? Wow.
Really? Again?
Do they think Gary is a Super Villain?
His only powers are forgetting things, breaking his own monitor and being the best damn gamer there ever was.
Who else can't wait for Pedro to have a mental breakdown once King Donald takes his throne
Being cancelled is akin to winning King Of The Ring.
All hail King Nerdrotic!
*Grift has **_always_** had a negative meaning.*
I've always thought of the term with my homemade definition: "someone doing something for financial, reputational, or political gain, while disagreeing with the belief, concept, or practice used for the gain."
But, the dictionary has it covered - *"Grift: a group of methods for obtaining money falsely through the use of swindles, frauds, dishonest gambling, etc."*
I've pointed this out a couple times over the years, no disrespect or anything!
Even more funny because this was my exact reaction. I yelled to my wife "hey babe look a new gladiator movie!" Then we watched it and halfway though, I said Goddamit they had to put rap music in it cuz...Denzel. Turned it off😂
It's so racist for them to think you have to have rap music in a trailer purely because a black man is in it.
I won't be surprised if they name some of the characters 'Dawg Maximus' or 'Lil Caesar'
Holding the bow backwards, genius!
why hiphop in a movie like this is beyond me. I honestly thought i was the only one who found that cringe
A common reaction to a Gladiator trailer should be "Cool", "Kickass" or "I like product please give more product"
im gonna skip it, what made the og movie great was it followed the career of one guy, im sure this is the typical modern crap with no main character but several with a little story for each of them and they come together in the end in a stupid way. this is a sequel no one really wanted.
Getting cancelled in current year is what it was like in the olden days to get nominated for an Academy Award.
But he was mostly positive of the trailer until the rap music!
A few Ridley Scott trailers have jarring contemporary music, but you don't put that stuff in your first trailer. The first Gladiator teaser had freaking "Anvil of Crom" by Basil Poledouris.
Gladiator and rap music ..sorry pass
Jeremy has no comment for Gary "hoping there's a Titanic 2"? 😂
There actually is one 😂
Gladiator is one movie that should have been left alone.
Put together the soundtrack from one and the soundtrack from this trailer .
They always blame Doomcock
Hail Doomcock! The future ruler of Earth!
It's even smothered with 'Black rap' type music... WTF? The original had ethereal and classical music that ACTUALLY gave a real FEEL to the film... G2... UTTER SH!TE...
Gotta get that brainrot rap in every trailer cause it’s hip, right kids😂😒
i watched gary and az react to the trailer they said it was really good... until the music kicked in
When Denzel stood in the Coliseum, faced the Emperor and yelled, I am King Kong; I cried.
You think you can do this shit to me?! I’m the Praetorian Guard! You just live here!!!
My issue with Denzel is the accent. Sure, these people didn't have English accents, but it really stands out.
can we go back to when trailers started with the green "approved for all audiences" banner then went to the trailer and the trailer had thematic music that fit the theme of the movie?
who at hollywood collectively thought "trailer starts now" clips then micro trailer then trailer was a remotely good idea and kept doing it?
I didn't even watch Nerdrotic's take when I watched the trailer! These people are insane! The trailer is just bad.
Ac yasuke : hip hop beats, Ancient Rome Denzel : hip hop track, black acolyte: kinda hip hop beat driven song. Yasssss yassss
I agree with Gary
I’m glad they are roasting the hell out of trailer makers! Bring back the “in a world” phase it was way less lame
Mark my words, Denzel was badly casted for his part.
They tried to replicate A Knight’s Tale and failed
The only major complain was the background music and Nerdrotic gonna watch it regardless of what he sees on the trailer. They were just having fun and laughing about it. What the problem with that.
Ridley Scott hasn’t directed a successful movie since Gladiator.
Gary isn't the negative one, it's AZ
Remember Hans Zimmer with epic music for epic films? Pepperidge farm remembers.
I literally have zero woke complaints or diversity complaints.. Hollywood,writers,directors have made me not excited for it. I’m expecting trash and nostalgia baiting from them. They did it to me.. not Gary..
It’s effing gladiator ffs. I should be happy.
You think the backlash insufferable, wait till you see the box office.
