Gladiator II serves as a thrilling return to ancient Rome. While it doesn’t quite recapture the emotional punch of the first film, it’s brimming with high-stakes action and dramatic performances. If nothing else, it’s a testament to Ridley Scott’s undying ambition, though it may not fully satisfy history and peplum movie (‘tunic’ film referring to Roman or Greek dramas) fans still captivated by the original’s singular magic. Gladiator II is released in the UK on 15 November 2024.

It balances holiday cheer with family-friendly thrills, and while it has a PG-13 edge, it’s suitable for most age groups with some guidance for younger viewers. The film’s unique characters and mythical undertones may even make it a new holiday classic for families who love a good action-comedy that leaves them laughing and feeling festive. Red One is in UK cinemas from today.
