Avoid. Utter sh#te. The plot and dialogue are horrible.
Just rewatch the first one again. It's the same movie, just a lot better. |  | | |  |

Some ChatGPT stuff for you ...
"The depiction of Roman emperors using a "thumbs down" gesture to condemn gladiators to death, as often seen in Hollywood films, is likely a historical misconception. The actual gestures used in ancient Rome remain a topic of scholarly debate, but here's what is generally understood:
Pollice Verso (Turned Thumb): Ancient sources, such as Roman texts and mosaics, refer to "pollice verso," meaning "with a turned thumb." However, it does not explicitly clarify the direction of the thumb (up, down, sideways) or its exact meaning.
Historical Interpretations: Some scholars suggest that a "thumbs down" (a gesture Hollywood popularized) may not have meant death. Instead, it could have indicated sparing the gladiator's life, as it resembled a sheathed sword. On the other hand, a gesture mimicking an extended thumb (perhaps upward or toward the chest) might have symbolized an unsheathed sword, calling for execution.
So, Thumbs Down means live, not die. From what we do know, anyway!
But if you ask Foxshite News this is just the woke liberal mejia trying to use facts again :P |
Of course it's a historical misconception, everyone knows roman emperors used the universal and timeless "wànker" gesture while shouting "Is that it you fùcking melt?!? I'll run you and your soft Christian firm all over Carthage you mug!!" |  | | |

I go to movies for entertainment, not for artistic greatness or accuracy. By that measure all movies are crap. I loved Gladiator, and I will see this soon |  | | |
