Well, this will be long so if you’re one of the few people who’ll read this, you have my gratitude. 

Gladiator II is both a disappointment and a decent movie. Everything it does right is numbed down by something that doesn’t live up to the standards of the 2000’s masterpiece. 
I’ll go in depth about what I like, what I don’t like and I won’t spoil anything. 

Gladiator II is, above all, a love letter to the first movie. Ridley Scott…

Dune: Part Two is simply excellent. It’s one of those epics that I really think it deserves to be experienced in a movie theater because this is as epic as it can get.

It’s an almost flawlessly constructed and executed movie from start to finish, delivering one of the best soundtracks of the last 5 years, a truly career-defining double performance by Michael B. Jordan and a masterclass directorial effort by Ryan Coogler.

I honestly wasn’t expecting to love this as much as I did…
