I just finished watching Season 2 Episodes 7-9, and I do believe it is one of the best three-episode arcs ever aired.

It is absurd that Disney can release a show that is as well written, acted, and edited, and then release shows like Kenobi, Ashoka, Acolyte, and Season 3 of The Mandalorian. I understand this is grounded and doesn't incorporate the force, but to have Disney release a project like this always makes me hopeful for a future Project.

It is undoubtedly one of the best entries in Star Wars, and people who tell you otherwise do not understand storytelling. The writing done for this show by Tony Gilroy deserves a whole different review, but it is easily one of the best written shows of all time and can provoke emotion for a story viewers already know what happens.

Episodes 8 and 9 are two of the most well-written, paced, and executed 58 minutes I've ever seen, and I wish this weren't the last season. Tony Gilroy, you have outdone yourself!!!

Bravo.

This is not a bad movie by any means, but is light years away from Russel Crowe and the 1st Gladiator.

This movie focuses too much on the political moments and less on THE GLADIATOR. There is little told to the audience on how these two twins came into power. Lucious had to leave right after Maximus died????

When you have to make a sequel 20 years after the first one came out, it has to be worth it. This was not worth it.

The fighting is great, but every other scene does not carry the weight to drive the plot.

Pedro Pascal is easily the best character, and he gets no screen time. He is the only character that has a true purpose and he lives up tp it.

(P. S.) Denzel plays the most uneeded character and is one of the reasons why this movie is not as well rounded.

(I love Denzel)
