Gladiator II

Are you not entertained? Well, quite frankly, no.... Gladiator II or Gladiator lite as I like to call it is the "essentials" brand version of Gladiator. You know like, the "essentials brand" of underpants as opposed to known brands like Bendon or Jockey. They do the job, they're okay but still the brand names are just "better". Gladiator lite (II) mimics its predecessor but its predominantly just a bare essentials remake of a superior, original film. The story is a rather basic "almost" version of the year 2000 film starring Russell Crowe, the protagonists more or less fill the same or similar roles and well, that's about it. Oh but for a dash of difference, they do have CGI sharks, monkey's and rhino's, if, for whatever weird reason, that's your thing. In summary, this is really just a rather uninspiring "almost" facsimile, of a vastly superior, original film. Its not bad as such, its just feels like a beige re-run of sorts, that need not have been made.
