Gladiator II doesn't do enough to set itself apart from the original. It justifies its existence but could have been better.

'The True History of the Kelly Gang': Crowe,Hunnam Star in Action Flick
The True History of the Kelly Gang looks like it could be a bright spot on VOD channels when it releases in late April. Telling the story of the infamous Kelly gang, the cast is great, director Justin Kurzel (Assassin's Creed) can handle action scenes, and it just LOOKS great.
Check out the trailer and poster for the film below:
Set amidst the grueling badlands of 19th-century Australia, legendary outlaw Ned Kelly (George MacKay,1917, Ophelia) grows up under the bloody and uncompromising rule of the English. Food is scarce, survival is filled with daily strife, and every opportunity the colonizers take to make their victims feel powerless is inflicted with searing brutality. In a desperate attempt to prime him for rebellion, Ned Kelly's mother (Essie Davis, The Babadook), sells him off into the hands of the notorious bushranger Harry Power (Russel Crowe, Cinderella Man, L.A. Confidential), where the young bandit discovers he comes from a line of warriors called the Sons of Sieve. Fueled by his roots and a voracious appetite for revenge, Ned Kelly leads an anarchist army to wreak havoc on their oppressors in one of the most audacious attacks the country has ever seen. Grimy, gritty, and full of action-packed thrills, True History of the Kelly Gang brings a revolutionary twist to an iconic piece of folklore. Based on the novel by Peter Carey.
The True History of the Kelly Gang, starring George MacKay, Essie Davis, Nicholas Hoult, Orlando Schwerdt, Thomasin McKenzie, Charlie Hunnam, and Russell Crowe hits select theaters (maybe), VOD streaming, and rental on April 24th.
