Gladiator II is a decent sequel that could have been great if it had only focused on a different protagonist. Here's why Denzel Washington's Macrinus should have been the star of the show.

When we think of ancient Rome, gladiator fights are often top of mind. And yet, very little is known about these Colosseum battles, which is what arguably makes them great fodder for imaginative screenwriters.

Ridley Scott’s directorial, Gladiator 2 is a story riddled with violence and deaths. The sequel to Gladiator (2000) is now in theaters in the US and worldwide and has been receiving positive responses from critics and the audience.
