I'm not sure I would say terrible but yes wasn't the best.
I will pick it up if/when it hits around $8.
To have both & the transfer on this is pretty much reference.
The transfer is definitely better than the 1st one which is unfortunate.

The pace of this was way too fast, you were thrown into one thing after the other without having a care at all because you didn't have time to associate with any of the characters.
I'd wait for the directors cut to come out. That's when you'll see the movie as the director envisioned it. Granted it'll be like 4 hours long, but that's what's needed here. Nobody liked this because it was way too condensed.
Not defending Ridley, studios time and time again tell him "we need 2-3 hours" and he delivers 6, so they have to cut half of it and it creates problems.
Best characters were the two emperors. Sadly they don't get much screen time.

You think gladiatorial games with ships and sharks is not historically accurate? Hahaha😂
Actually they did fill the Colosseum with water to recreate naval battles.
The sharks were a bit over the top though.😜

Scott revealed the news in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "[The first cut] ended around 3:40," Scott said, or about 220 minutes. "I know that's unrealistic. I think with the titles it's about 2:33, so the film itself is about 2:20. I wanted to put the opening titles at the beginning, not at the end. But they ran two-and-a-half minutes — which is a long time to look at a black screen." Scott then brought in outside assistance to help cut the film down: animator Gianluigi Toccafondo, who animated the title card for Scott's production company, Scott Free, to shift the opening titles around, shortening the film.
But while audiences at the theater may not be seeing the nearly four-hour version of Gladiator II, this doesn't mean that this couldn't happen in the future, according to the director.
