As a fan of the original Gladiator, I was excited to see Gladiator II bring back some familiar characters and continue the epic story, (oh, how I was so wrong). The nostalgia of revisiting elements from the first film was certainly a highlight. Visually, the movie delivered well enough, though the effects weren't anything ground-breaking, good, but not breath-taking.
However, where Gladiator II truly faltered for me was with its lead performances. Denzel Washington, as expected, brought his A-game and did his best to elevate the film. Unfortunately, Paul Mescal's portrayal of the lead character was underwhelming. His delivery lacked the power, emotion and depth needed to carry such an intense role. There were moments where his lines just felt flat, dragging the momentum down, and ultimately, the movie suffered from it.

All in all not a bad prequel, kk, granted, It's not your typical action packed futuristic Sci-Fi movie like the other predator type.
However, we knew the Alien Predators had been visiting Earth for 1000's of years and to see a Predator movie prior "The Predator" movie itself was a nice change and it's something I've wanted to see from the first movie.
The only criticism I have is that of the Visual effects of the predator itself,... I found them lacking.
The cloaking technology was sub-par and the helmet the predator wore just didn't hit the spot for me.
Apart from those two criticisms, I enjoyed the movie.

What the hell was this?...
This felt like the ending of Thor has we know him, Now he's seems more like an empty puppet from a late Night, sad, pathetic comedy script?
Thanks for ruining Thor (Taika Waititi), you've turned Thor into a Joke with childlike comedy banter.
It's going to take a lot to reshape Thor back into the Hero we all knew him for, though i know i can't take anymore of this Comedy BS.
