Paramount’s action-packed trailer gladiator ii has amassed 215 million global cross-platform views in just a few days and suggests Ridley Scott may have made a long-awaited sequel to his Oscar-winning 2000 epic. The untitled film is led by Paul Mescal as an adult Lucius and also stars Pedro Pascal and Denzel Washington in what looks to be an exciting spectacle.
However, there is a group of lovers who declare that they are not entertained. Era Paramount’s authentic trailer on YouTube (watch it below) ranks as one of the studio’s most viewed in a 24-hour period, and plenty of fans were wildly ambivalent, garnering 133,000 likes versus 279,000 dislikes and counting. Is. It is very strange for an important tent to collapse.
Considering the comments on the video and
First of all, a trailer longer than 3 minutes is clearly being criticized for giving away excess for free. Audiences generally hate it – understandable. (Paramount’s authentic trailer for The Final Hours Challenge: The Unthinkable – The Dead Count Vol. 1 Similarly gave each primary curious piece.)
The second explanation why – and that is in a way Most cited – Kanye West and Jay-Z’s “No Church in the Wild” is used in the trailer. Some people are asking, “Why is there rap music in a movie about the Roman Empire?” Of course, a part of the latest the GladiatorIts magic was such that it was unabashedly classical – a throwback to epics like sandals-and-toga. ben hur And spartacus, It also featured a favorite soundtrack by Hans Zimmer, whose anthem “The Battle” is one of the best action anthems ever written.
After all, it’s reductive to believe that such a recent track through the film’s historical Rome scenes is as old as this one, which is only a trailer, so presumably critics will have to calm down. Additionally, “No Church in the Wild” contains the lyric “bloodstains on the doors of the Coliseum”, so this could be the case. However, when you get to this point later on the track conflict starts to sound like a dog whistle.
The third reason for the reaction: Some people are concerned about Washington’s role in the film. The Oscar winner plays Macrinus, described as a ruthless energy dealer who helps keep the gladiators strong. It seems as if the actor has absolute perfection. However, there’s some bitch that Washington still has his Fresh York speech. After all, Washington’s accent is so iconic that it might be awkward if he unexpectedly followed a British speech. Also: British accents don’t even make sense for historical Rome, they’ve historically been old in Hollywood movies in relation to the era and feel right (the British Empire being similarly imperialistic and all).
And this is where it gets unpleasant (as you suspected it might). One of the most significant comments ridiculing Washington’s imagery in the film was racist. And when you mix it with some rap tracks complaining publicly, it sounds like some other, unfortunately very habitual, toxic fan flow. (For those wondering, and not that it matters, but there were twilight masses in ancient Rome – including those in positions of power; the equivalent of the famous Roman official Lucius Quietus.)
Additionally, anyone frustrated with walking through Washington’s historic Rome will be disappointed in the later hours. Washington can also act in this coaching era Director Antoine Fuqua’s next and as-yet-untitled Netflix component regarding Roman-era commander Hannibal has been written, via the latest the Gladiator Scribe John Logan.
Another factor regarding the Gladiator Track: Zimmer decided not to return for the sequel and Harry Gregson-Williams produced the film instead. “It’s really very simple. I have done that world. And I think I did it well,” Zimmer previously said curzon Now about no return. “And I would just end up trying to repeat myself, which I don’t want to do, or get hit by critics who say you didn’t do it as well as you did the first time. There’s a gladiator fight going on between us Dune: Part 2, Correct? There’s a gladiator fight going on between us the Gladiator Obviously, but they couldn’t be more different!” (This is from the person who scored 4 marks Pirates of the Caribbean The movies are fine, though.)
