Russell Crowe has issued a candid review of Gladiator II, doubling down on his previous remarks that the creative team behind the film missed the mark.
Crowe, 61, led Ridley Scott’s original Gladiator in 2000, alongside Joaquin Phoenix. His incomparable portrayal of the stoic and loyal Maximus, Rome’s powerful general leader during the 2nd century AD, earned him the 2001 Academy Award for Best Actor.
