Gladiator is awesome. You feel entwined with Harris' Marcus Aurelius' dream, Crowe's Maximus powerful and emotional odyssey, the Colosseum panem et circenses explicit violence (with a subtler political play), Rome's demise... and then some more: Phoenix's Commodus plotting and toying, Reed's growing and glowing empathy, Lucilla's tragedy... my point is, even if you knew this was a 100% Hollywood production, you felt with it, with every turn and punch to the stomach. It felt alive and whimsical, moreso with Zimmer's perfect score (he was at his prime imo)
Gladiator II felt like the same but without all of the above. Like Schrodinger's Scott. You can see him but you can't feel him. Such a shame.
