Review: Gladiator 2 is barely an echo of Ridley Scott's epic original

Nov 19, 2024 | arcticninja.substack.com | Paul Shirey

It seemed like it would never happen. Echoes of a sequel to Gladiator floated around ever since the original was released in 2000 and now, twenty-four years later, it has arrived. The original Gladiator was the perfect fit for a director of Ridley Scott’s talents; epic in scope, sweeping in action, seeped in character, beautifully filmed, gloriously scored, and cast with superb talent that chewed scenery like someone starved for days.

Review: Civil (Silly) War

Apr 12, 2024 | arcticninja.substack.com | Paul Shirey

As a fan of writer/director Alex Garland, Civil War always seemed like an odd one. Garland is no stranger to pushing boundaries or exploring strange material (see: The Beach, Ex Machina, Annihilation, Men), but aside from the purposely “triggering” imagery of the trailer, particularly the Lincoln Memorial getting hit with a Javelin missile, amongst numerous other “flyovers” of buildings burning, while military aircraft hover about, Civil War always felt somewhat foreign to me.
To Kill Or Not To Kill: A Dissection of the Batman "No-Kill" Rule

“People are always like, ‘Batman can’t kill.’ So Batman can’t kill is canon. And I’m like, ‘Okay, well, the first thing I want to do when you say that is I want to see what happens. And they go, ‘Well, don’t put him in a situation where he has to kill someone.’ I’m like, ‘Well, that’s just like you’re protecting your God in a weird way, right?
Dune: Part 2 Review

Mar 6, 2024 | arcticninja.substack.com | Paul Shirey

Director Denis Villeneuve delivered the preeminent adaptation of author Frank Herbert’s Dune in 2021, but it was mired in an HBO Max debut and a Covid-era theatrical release that impressed the masses critically but failed to make the kind of massive box office waves that typically follow a release of its kind; a sci-fi adaptation of a renowned classic novel with a cast that includes a who’s who of modern A-list stars and character actors made by a filmmaker who has been heralded as one of the...

Day one purchase. This may be the most underrated film of all time IMO, and definitely Ridley Scott’s most underrated. An absolute masterpiece.

As much as I’m digging the show, it’s obvious that they kept a decent amount of footage and scenes from the previous showrunners. Hoping season 2 is more focused.
