Prepare to be entertained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first reactions from an early screening in Los Angeles for Gladiator II <\/em>are out, and they are overwhelmingly positive and full of excitement, with Oscar predictions for director Ridley Scott, Paul Mescal and Denzel Washington. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gladiator II <\/em>is the highly anticipated sequel to 2000\u2019s Gladiator<\/em>, and continues the epic saga of power, intrigue, and vengeance set in Ancient Rome. The story centers around Lucius Verus (Mescal), who, as a child, was sent away by his mother Lucilla (Connie Nielsen in both the original and the sequel) for his own protection after witnessing the tragic battle at the Colosseum involving his uncle Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix) and his hero Maximus (Russell Crowe, who won the Academy Award for this role). Now a grown-up man, Lucius is forced to enter the Colosseum after his home is conquered by the tyrannical Emperors who now lead Rome with an iron fist. With rage in his heart and the future of the Empire at stake, Lucius must look to his past to find strength and honor to return the glory of Rome to its people. The powerhouse cast includes Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn and Fred Hechinger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGLADIATOR II is a true epic and Ridley Scott\u2019s best in years. Paul Mescal is a great action star without sacrificing his indie grit, a worthy heir to the throne. Denzel Washington EATS every line and costume without ever overplaying,\u201d posted AwardsWatch\u2019s Erik Anderson, a member of the Critics Choice Association. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jillian Chilingerian of Offscreen Central shared: \u201cRidley Scott places you in the action of the arena centered on legacy and honor amping up the blood, battles, and biceps for something so deliciously cinematic and Machiavellian. Pedro Pascal, Paul Mescal, & Joseph Quinn certified movie stars\u2026 it\u2019s one of the few modern blockbusters that actually looks GOOD visually.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Griffin Schiller of FilmSpeak raved, \u201cRidley Scott returns to the Colosseum to prove to the world that HE\u2019S. STILL. GOT. IT. Absolutely BUZZING after #GladiatorII! An EPIC shakespearean tale of hope, futility & power w\/in a crumbling system. Denzel FEASTS in a showstopping, Machiavellian performance. What a picture!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Critics seem to have had as much fun watching Denzel Washington as the actor had playing the role of Macrinus in Gladiator II<\/em>, which some have predicted will give him his third Oscar win.\u00a0\u00a0 | Photo Credit: \u201cParamount Pictures\u201d<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Scott Menzel of We Live Entertainment was all praises about the epic action and battles: \u201cGladiator II<\/em> is Ridley Scott\u2019s best film since The Martian<\/em>. A big, bloody and bad ass action spectacle that builds upon the legacy of the original. The film showcases beautiful set pieces and a lot of epic battles. Paul Mescal shines. Denzel Washington chews up the scenery quite a bit here and looks like he is having the time of his life here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing Film\u2019s Andrew Salazar was impressed by Ridley Scott, saying, \u201cRidley Scott\u2019s direction is unhinged, framing this as an epic Roman opera. The visuals get the job done.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atom, a movie review outlet, couldn\u2019t contain their excitement in their post: \u201cEPIC MASTERPIECE!! Emotional with huge, STUNNING action. Ridley Scott\u2019s perfect crescendo. Paul & Pedro deliver the goods. A sweeping, arousing saga that fists your a**e. Not just another sequel, it\u2019s the BEST movie ever! A fitting end setting up what\u2019s next.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, hear about the movie from director Ridley Scott and his cast as they talk about making the sequel and how they felt after stepping into the epic world of Gladiator II<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch the \u201cMaking of an Epic\u201d featurette: https:\/\/youtu.be\/De7NovCSt5Y<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s an excitement coming back to the Roman Empire,\u201d says Scott, who won many accolades for his work in 2000\u2019s Gladiator<\/em>, in the featurette. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adds Paul Mescal, who leads the cast in the sequel as main character Lucius, \u201cIt\u2019s not lost on me what we as a cast of actors and Ridley are stepping into.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connie Nielsen, the only returning cast member from the original film (as Lucilla), shares, \u201cTo walk out in that arena for the second time was pretty amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s grand in scope, with sophisticated characters and storytelling,\u201d says Pedro Pascal, who plays Roman general Marcus Acacius. \u201cIt\u2019s all the things that fill in the word \u2018epic.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is the biggest film I\u2019ve been on,\u201d raves Denzel Washington, whose performance as Macrinus has earned universal acclaim. \u201cCecil B. DeMille [The Ten Commandments<\/em>, Cleopatra<\/em>] on steroids.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
