It's understandable why many are feeling nervous about Gladiator 2. After all, the Oscar-winning original has cemented itself in the cultural zeitgeist for its epic speeches, its thrilling battles (both emotionally and in the arena), a god-tier score from composer Hans Zimmer, and is rightly considered as one of director Ridley Scott’s best films.
While the filmmaker can be a bit hit-or-miss as of late (for every Alien and Blade Runner, we get The House of Gucci and Napoleon), it's hard to argue against the notion that no-one makes films like he does. Scott is a rare breed director and so all eyes are on his return to the colosseum.
