Gladiator II [4K UHD + Blu-Ray + Digital]

Gladiator II is absolutely epic! The story is intense and full of action, with stunning visuals that look incredible in 4K. The Blu-ray and digital copies make it easy to watch anywhere, and the overall presentation feels like a true collector’s edition. Thrilling from start to finish. I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen. Highly recommend for fans of action and historical dramas!

Thanks for the DVD. It is perfect.

As my title says, as a stand alone movie, and had this been the only Ridley Scott Gladiator film, it would have been a masterpiece, but because we have the first one to compare it to, it falls a bit short is as the story itself isn't quite as strong as the first one. Don't get me wrong, it's still pretty good, just not quite as emotionally grabbing as the first. It basically picks up about 15 years after the first one, if memory serves, where the "Maximus" gladiator in this one turns out to be Maximus' son from the first film, and he's now the slave in Gladiator school after being captured in battle. The reveal of this plot point was rather well done, in my opinion. It harkined back to the original film with the same motion that Maximus used in the arena. The action scenes in this film are pretty good, but we've seen similar before in the 300 films, and other Greek/Roman period pieces. So they weren't all that ground breaking. I'll just say this, the film as a whole was pretty good, just not as original as it could have been.

As an avid DVD/HD/UHD movie collector, I considered this movie to be an excellent addition any comprehensive movie disc collection. This movie in 4k Ultra HD format looks absolutely amazing. This format elevates the viewing experience to a highly immersive level. A 7.1 or a 9.1 surround sound system is also highly recommended for a truly theater like experience. Despite some Gladiator I fans reporting disappointment regarding the Gladiator II sequel, I did not agree with those viewers. Due to CGI advancements, I thought the special effects in the sequel were far more grandiose than those of the original. The simulated chariot races and sea battles depicted in the film were so spectacular and entertaining that this factor alone made this film a must see. This film is also a must have for Ridley Scott fans.

Exactly as described, good packaging.

Love it

Another masterpiece by Ridley Scott. Great film, I wantched it 4 times already.

I had great anticipation in viewing this movie. I could have bought it via Prime TV for $4.99 to Rent, $6.99 to buy, or buy the physical DVD for $16.99. My mindset was to create my own "Box-Set" since I already own and love Gladiator I with Russel Crowe. Wish I only rented it due to the fact that it was only a 3 out of 5 stars AT BEST. Paul Mescal (Lucius) had adequate moments in mostly his fight scenes but other than that I think he was poorly cast and his acting was tired and flawed. Even Denzel Washington isn't going to escape my review - Make no mistake, I am a Denzel fan. Loved everything he did... Until now. Clearly the creators of the Gladiator 2 didn't do their homework because the NY Post only gave his Broadway play "Othello" starring Denzel 2 out of 5 stars. It was clear that Denzel is out of his comfort zone, (or maybe beyond his ability) to play a role in ancient Roman times. He simply wasn't believable, and at times looked silly. As for actress Connie Nielson (Lucilla). Her acting was at times almost a carbon copy of her performance in Gladiator 1. It was a quality performance but very predictable. ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, Pedro Pascal, Lior Raz (Love everything Raz has done since "FAUDA") , and the two Ceasars all gave excellent performances through and through and worth the price of admission. My suggestion is DO NOT SEE Gladiator 1 prior to Gladiator 2. IF you see it as a stand alone movie without any predispositions as a sequel to Gladiator 1 you will enjoy it much more. This is WebbMan signing off, and Thanks for reading my review!

Do mestre diretor Ridley Scot, exce.

Gladiator is an awsome movie, I'm sure you all know this. Gladiator 2 I thought was a middling affair good action but pales in comparison to the first film. But some region advice to those thinking to purchase from outside the US. I tested the blu-ray discs on a Pioneer BDP-150 set to each region. 4K of course are region free. Gladiator has both Blu-ray discs locked at Region A (so Europe and Asia are out of luck unless you have a multi region player). Gladiator II are region free blu-ray discs so sadly the lesser film has the most freedom to view globally. Region locking an arena where our gladiators have not yet won.

For any serious movie collector, this offering of Gladiator II in 4K Ultra HD is a definitive must-have, especially because it also includes the original Gladiator film in a stunning steelbook edition. The visual presentation of the new film is absolutely stunning, elevating the viewing experience to a truly immersive level. To fully appreciate the sequel's grandeur, I highly recommend watching it with a 7.1 or 9.1 surround sound system for a powerful and genuine cinematic feel right at home. While some fans of the original Gladiator have expressed disappointment with the sequel, I found those criticisms to be unfounded. The advancements in CGI are undeniable, and I believe the special effects are far more epic and spectacular than those of the original. The meticulously crafted chariot races and breathtaking sea battles alone are so exhilarating that they make this film essential viewing. This disc is a fantastic addition for any home theater enthusiast, and a necessary purchase for fans of director Ridley Scott.

By the gods, I scarcely believe what my eyes have beheld. I, Gaius Dramaticus, humble historian of the Republic (and part-time olive salesman), have viewed the sacred relic known as Gladiator II—encased in a circular mirror disc, surely forged by Vulcan himself and played upon a magic oracle known as a “Sony.” This tale, while not found in the dusty scrolls of Tacitus or Pliny, hath captured my imagination like a lion traps a sleepy senator. It begins years after the noble Maximus became one with Elysium, yet somehow, battle returns to the arena with even more sand, sweat, and slow-motion spear twirling. New champions arise! One is a mysterious warrior called “Cassius the Brooding,” who fights in leather armor so tight it could only have been stitched by the Fates. Another, “Lucilla the Furious,” rides a war elephant through the Forum for reasons unclear, yet deeply inspiring. The battles are mighty, the drama thick, and the soundtrack… oh, the soundtrack! ‘Tis like Apollo himself dropped the lute and picked up an electric lyre. Bonus scrolls (or “DVD extras” as the local scribes say) include: • Commentary from the director, who appears to be drinking goblets of modern-day Red Bull. • An animated feature called Baby Maximus and Friends, which is both confusing and delightful. • Deleted scenes including a philosophical soliloquy delivered by a horse. Truly, I wept. Not since the fall of Carthage have I felt such emotion. I now wear my toga backwards in mourning, for no modern tale shall surpass this spectacle. VERDICT: A triumph. A masterpiece. A wackadoonus maximus. 10 amphorae out of 10.
