say what you will about Gladiator II as a film but Ridley Scott let Denzel stomp around for 150 minutes as a cackling demon who was drunk on wine and power and that kind of thing will always be cinema to me

I love it when Denzel plays evil Training Day characters—be it in modern times, Shakespearean robes, or Roman finery. I’d go see it again just for him despite some of the film’s shortcomings.
The high-level stories of Ridley films have wide swings in quality, this one was kind of in the middle. What he is consistent at is getting great actors and letting them give great performances.
OMG! That’s what I loved about it—his robes and his jewelry. With all due compliments, I told my sister “they had Denzel looking like a 1970s Harlem pimp in dashikis and it was scrumptious.” 😂😂😂
