Critics Consensus

Echoing its predecessor while upping the bloodsport and camp, Gladiator II is an action extravaganza that derives much of its strength and honor from Denzel Washington's scene-stealing performance.

Houston Chronicle

For those craving their fix of head-hewing, sword-swinging Roman barbarity, "Gladiator II" capably fills the bill. Just don't expect much more than that.

Rated: 3/5

Stephen Romei

The Australian

All the main characters have compelling stories behind them, but they are not realised in an emotionally satisfying way. In short, I couldn't care less what happened to any of them.

Rated: 3/5

The Spectator

Compared to the original it is plainly, and disappointingly, not as goodus.

Me gusta el cine

“Gladiator II” doesn’t quite live up to its predecessor’s standards. Achieving that was an unenviable, almost impossible task. However, Scott has done everything he could to at least develop a sequel worthy of that 2000s classic. Full review in Spanish.

Rated: 3.5/5

Mark Jackson

Epoch Times

The great Ridley Scott swings and misses in this melodramatic sequel whose main cinematic crime is set pieces featuring low-budget and outdated-looking CGI.

Rated: 2.5/5

Fuera de Foco

Gladiator II is just a shell in terms of narrative and drama compared to its predecessor, although it works as a visual spectacle and light entertainment.
