Gladiator 2 first reviews: Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington steal the show

India Today  

The first reviews for Gladiator 2 highlight compelling performances by Paul Mescal and Denzel Washington, with critics praising the film's ambitious scenes and classic gladiatorial spectacles. Washington’s depiction of Macrinus, adorned with "jewelled rings on every finger and gold chains around his neck," is embraced for its audacious, larger-than-life delivery as he schemes for ultimate power. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Gladiator 2 gains momentum whenever it steps out of its predecessor’s shadow, particularly with Washington’s captivating portrayal of Macrinus, a former slave-turned-Machiavellian schemer. Early reviews suggest that Gladiator 2 honours its roots while carving out fresh ground, particularly through Denzel Washington’s energetic performance, which adds a distinct vitality to the highly anticipated sequel.
