The reviews are out, and Gladiator II is doing…all right. It's not great, but it is not exactly killing it, either. Since some critics still haven't seen the movie yet, that consensus might change as we get closer to the release date. Paramount, much like Universal, is also focusing a lot on the behind-the-scenes work that went into making this movie. That's in no way a bad thing; these are sets of thousands, and it can be hard sometimes to realize and understand the spectacle of what is on screen while watching a film. This time, the featurette is focusing on director Ridley Scott and the cast praising him for how he commands a set. It's clear, once again, that everyone enjoys and respects Scott. Washington says that all he needed to hear was that it was a Ridley Scott movie, and he was on board.
