Gladiator 2....
Boy, oh boy the state of modern cinema man....I don't think any movie after Terminator that made a sequial was successful. That was complete and uther bullcrap, a parody of the original movie. They had on the arena bloodthirsty man-eating monkeys, a battle rhino being tamed and controlled by a rider and the pinnacle was when they just flooded the Colliseum with water, put several sharks to roam around and made a naval battle:eek::eek::D Poor Denzel, he is way more class than this....

Terminator 4 & 5 were piece of crap but still watching them give me nostalgic feeling.

Don't know if it's true or not but based on Youtube the new Terminator(7) will be released, probably 2025. Some trailers are already published that is obviously AI-generated .

LOTR and Godfather were quite successful. But yeah, it's pretty damn rare.

Deary me, Gladiator II was really underwhelming. I didnt go in with high hopes but it was still disappointing nonetheless. No emotion, no score, messy plot, stupid acting. Felt like a parody of the original.

I really enjoyed Nosferatu - it didn’t disappoint.

The cinematography was excellent. The muted grey nighttime sequences (almost black-and-white) created such an intense and haunting atmosphere. Coupled with the striking gothic architecture, it perfectly captured the eerie and timeless mood of the story.

I really disliked Nosferatu and mainly due to the terrible acting by Bill Skarsgard and Lily- Rose Depp.

The make up and design for the Count was comical/ cartoonish and reminded me of Dick Dastardly from The Whacky Races.

I've no idea how Bill Skarsgard keeps getting these big roles.

He was Awful in I.T, The Crow, John Wick and now this.

Not once did I find the movie scary or even spooky. I laughed out loud multiple times at how silly it was and had my hand over my face multiple times due to how cringeyworthy some of the acting was.

I loved The Lighthouse and The Northman. I don't think the director is the reason why I disliked this movie.

Nosferatu's cinematography was amazing and it was beautifuly directed.

I just think they really fucked up with Bill Skarsgard, lil-Rose Depp and the design of Orlok.

I would of loved to have seen someone like Ralph Fienes play Orlok. He needed to be more sinister or charismatic.

Movies need to stop using over the top prosthetics and CGI for monsters/ villains because it is never scary. Had he looked more realistic it would have been so much better.
