larissa’s review published on Letterboxd:
yes i went to see this because of the loml pedro pascal BUT its so much more than pedro (though ofcourse whenever he was on screen my heart was beating faster and i couldn't stop smiling yk)
i think this is an amazing sequel to gladiator. i honestly didn't expect the story from the first to really continue in this part. but i'm really glad it did and i think they did so well on it too!!
all the acting in this was extremely impressive what a power cast!!!!
the visuals and action in this was so so cool!!! the use of the colosseum was fantastic. i'm so happy they showed how they would even flood it to have fights on water. absolutely mesmerizing work! but everything outside of the colosseum was amazing too.
it had me from the second it started & i was completely blown away till the very end. i'm most likely gonna go see it in theater for a second time this week!!
oh btw the intro was SO BEAUTIFULLY MADE omg i loved how it was all scenes of part 1
ps i knew pedro was gonna die like HE ALWAYS DOES but that still hurt so bad i had to hold back a scream
