   Man, y'all tricked me! Gladiator 2 sucked! See, this is why I have trust issues.

   Denzel was good, because he at least had some lines and material to work with. What a waste of Pedro Pascal! That's gotta be some type of Hollywood sin.

   Best actor in the movie was Denzel. Second best was the monkey.

     @mekkaokereke 1) I would like to point out for the record that I never said so much as a word about gladiator 2 - not just because i suspected that it would suck, but ALSO because i haven't seen it.

     2) You gotta watch "Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". It's shockingly good, shlocky fun. Far, far better than you or I would ever have expected it to be.

     In fact, here's how sure I am that you will enjoy it (assuming you approach it from the "good shlocky fun" mindset and not the "high cinema" one): I will donate $20 to the charity of your choice if you don't think it earned at least 4 stars.

     @mekkaokereke I showed #Ben (16) Gladiator 1 a month ago, and now he wants to see Gladiator 2. I was skeptical it would be any good, but I think we're going to see it tomorrow

     @mekkaokereke I almost went to see it to kill some time while on holiday. I would have had to wait an hour, did not want to. Glad I dodged it 😅

     Any Denzel movie is worth it to me, but this one really tested that principle for me.

     @mekkaokereke So is Denzel worth sitting through the movie? I really don't want to go, but Denzel is in it, and Pedro, but I see what you wrote about him being wasted.

     Favorite film I saw recently is #FlowMovie . Animated, no human dialogue, just animal and nature sounds. Loved it.

     Other films I've recently loved are #Anora #AnoraFilm and #EmiliaPerez . And #Magpie #MagpieMovie , available on streaming platforms.
