5 foreign reviews of Gladiator II (2024)

1. Moviezine

8 / 10

Translated from swedish: When Ridley Scott finally returns to Rome, it is with a vengeance. With massive and large-scale fight scenes that are teeming with extras, the grandiosity is a fact. Here we are treated to first-class, lavishly-budgeted cinematic entertainment from start to finish.

Translated from swedish: The limit is at sharks on the Colosseum

3. Aftonbladet

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: The story is a circle. Ridley Scott has made a sequel that is worth watching, but does not have much new to offer. What we do in life echoes in eternity is a sentence from the first film that is repeated. The sequel is an echo. The same, but weaker.

5. Filmtopp

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: Of course, this is a film that cannot be enjoyed without comparing it to the original, and doing so is not to its advantage. Although the new film has more than twenty years of cinematic development behind it, the first still looks better; here there is more Hollywood than desirable with CGI-animated sharks, wild monkeys and rhinoceroses.
