Star Cast: Paul Mescal, Denzel WashingtonDirector: Ridley ScottGladiator II Movie Review Synopsis: GLADIATOR II is the story of a war prisoner who turns into a hero. Sixteen years after the events of the first part, the condition of the Roman Empire has further deteriorated. The empire is ruled by two incompetent emperors, Emperor Geta (Joseph Quinn) and Emperor Caracalla (Fred Hechinger), who want to expand the territory while ignoring the woes of the subjects. At their insistence, General Acacius (Pedro Pascal) invades Numidia which is headed by Jugartha (Peter Mensah). One of the brave fighters in his army is Hanno (Paul Mescal). He and his wife Arishat (Yuval Gonen) fight courageously. But Arishat dies and Rome captures Numidia. Hanno, Jugartha and others are taken as prisoners and taken to the outskirts of Rome. Here, Hanno is bought by Macrinus (Denzel Washington) and the latter plans to make the former fight in the arena at the Colosseum. Meanwhile, Acacius is unhappy with the back-to-back wars. His wife is none other than Lucilla (Connie Nielsen), the daughter of the deceased noble king Marcus Aurelius. They and some members of the Senate plan a rebellion against the emperors. What happens next forms the rest of the film.Gladiator II Movie Story Review: Peter Craig and David Scarpa's story is full of drama and action. David Scarpa's screenplay is praiseworthy as it nicely takes the story forward from the memorable first part. The narrative is peppered with action and politics which will keep the viewers intrigued. The dialogues are simple and sharp.Ridley Scott's direction, as expected, is marvellous. He had set a benchmark with GLADIATOR [2000] and hence, it’s a big risk to make its sequel. But Ridley succeeds and how. The characters in the first part were memorable but one doesn't miss them as the newer ones are also likeable. In fact, a few of them like the Emperors and Marinus are very well fleshed out and their mere presence adds to the madness. Although the suspense around Hanno is predictable, one doesn't mind as it unravelled beautifully. The fights are riveting and the challenge goes one level up this time. The Colosseum scenes are superb but watch out for Hanno's fight with the baboons; it's something to watch out for.On the flipside, the film starts on a sluggish note. There are moments in the film in between where the film stagnates and also gets confusing, especially with regards to Macrinus’ actions. Those expecting lots of action might be disappointed as there's an important political track which forms a major chunk of the film. The action, meanwhile, is very gory. Though the fights will give a paisa-vasool time to viewers, some of them seem to be historically inaccurate, especially showing the arena filled with water and sharks.Gladiator II Movie Review Performances: Paul Mescal plays the lead role with aplomb and looks convincing as a fearless soldier with a tragic past. Denzel Washington is the surprise of the film. He takes the film many notches higher with his character and his nuanced performance. An Oscar nomination-worthy act! Pedro Pascal underplays his part neatly. Connie Nielsen, as always, is lovely and graceful. Joseph Quinn and Fred Hechinger leave a tremendous mark. Peter Mensah and Yuval Gonen are fair in cameos. Alexander Karim (Ravi) shines and his character would be loved by the audience in India. The others who do a good job are Lior Raz (Viggo), Derek Jacobi (Senator Gracchus), Tim McInnerny (Thraex) and Matt Lucas (Master of Ceremonies).Gladiator II movie music and other technical aspects: Harry Gregson-Williams's music enhances the impact. John Mathieson's cinematography is breathtaking and detailed. Arthur Max's production design is well-researched. Janty Yates and David Crossman's costumes are authentic. The VFX is top-class. The action is entertaining but too gory, as per the requirement of the story. Claire Simpson and Sam Restivo's editing could have been slicker.Gladiator II Movie Review Conclusion: On the whole, GLADIATOR II is a fitting sequel to one of the most loved films of Hollywood and rests on a compelling premise, award-worthy performances, top-notch drama and action. At the box office, it is set to open on a fair note and has the potential to emerge as a surprise success.

Star Cast: Suriya, Bobby DeolDirector: SivaKanguva Movie Review Synopsis: KANGUVA is the story of a brave warrior. The film is set in two timelines. In 2024, Francis (Suriya) is a bounty hunter in Goa who catches criminals for the police. His rival is his ex-girlfriend Angel (Disha Patani), who's also a bounty hunter. While trying to nab a gangster named Jittu, Francis bumps into a kid named Zeta. Zeta is a kid with extraordinary abilities who has escaped from a secret facility. Francis doesn't know Zeta and yet gets drawn to him. Meanwhile, in 1070 AD, Kanguva (Suriya) is the chief on the island of Perumachi. It is one of the five islands which are next to each other. The other four islands are Mandyaru, Venkadu, Mukkadu and Arthi. The Romans want to capture this region and they enlist the help of Kodavan. He informs the Romans that Perumachi warriors are too brave and they need to be eliminated not just by force but also through intelligence. Kodavan tries to do so but is caught red-handed by Kanguva. He kills him. His wife jumps into the pyre and asks Kanguva to take care of her son, Poruva. Meanwhile, the Romans now approach Arthi's ruthless chief Udhiran (Bobby Deol) to fight Kanguva and his army. What happens next forms the rest of the film.Kanguva Movie Story Review: Adi Narayana's story has a lot of weight. Siva's screenplay, however, fails to do justice to the plot. But a few scenes are well thought out. Madan Karky's dialogues are normal and are devoid of any powerful one-liners.Siva's direction is grand. He has tried his best to present an epic cinematic experience to the viewers. This is evident not just in the 1070 AD track but also in the present-day scenes. The latter are stylishly executed. The enmity between the two tribes and the characteristics of the five islands are imaginative. The father-son bond is touching.On the flipside, the film is too loud. The direction is weak in several places. Certain scenes must have sounded great on paper but didn’t translate as intended on celluloid. Also, it comes at a time when viewers are probably bored of watching ruthless, animal-like humans baying for each other's blood. Since it comes too late in the day, viewers will draw parallels with films like BAAHUBALI, DEVARA etc. For instance, Udhiran's tribe seems very similar to Kalkeyas of BAAHUBALI. The present-day portions, meanwhile, give a deja vu of KALKI 2898 AD due to the presence of Disha and the mention of bounty hunters. The film ends with the promise of a sequel and it fails to excite viewers. Kanguva (Hindi) – Release Trailer | Suriya | Bobby Deol Kanguva Movie Review Performances: Suriya gives more than a hundred per cent to the role and makes the film watchable. As Francis, he’s cool but as Kanguva, he’s fiery and looks convincing as a brave leader who can take on several enemies at once. The child actor (whose name is nowhere mentioned surprisingly by the makers) has a crucial role and does a fabulous job. Bobby Deol looks menacing but his performance leaves a lot to be desired. Disha Patani looks sizzling but hardly has anything to do. Yogi Babu (Colt 95) and Redin Kingsley (Accelerator) raise limited laughs. The other actors do well.Kanguva movie music and other technical aspects: Devi Sri Prasad's music is catchy. The theme song 'Naayak'is exhilarating. 'Fire Song' is grand. However, showing Suriya moving his tongue as a dance step is embarrassing.'Maafi' is soulful. 'YOLO' is forced. Devi Sri Prasad's background score adds to the cinematic appeal.Vetri Palanisamy's cinematography is spectacular, especially the scenes shot at the beach. T Udhayakumar, Renjith Venugopal Saravakumar's sound design is horrible as it is needlessly loud. Milan's production design is detailed and authentic. Anu Vardhan's costumes for Suriya are appealing while Dhatsha Pillai Maria Merlyn's costumes are realistic. Supreme Sundar's action is very disturbing. Nishad Yusuf's editing is appropriate.Kanguva Movie Review Conclusion: On the whole, KANGUVA has a superb performance by Suriya but the film suffers due to a weak direction and similarities with other Pan-India films.
