Russell Crowe DESTROYS Gladiator 2! Says Sequel Didn't Understand What Made the Original Special

Russell Crowe finally broke his silence in regards to the most unnecessary sequel of all time, Gladiator II. What was always to be an ill conceived premise, Ridley Scott went and stripped out the heart of 2000's Best Picture Winner in order to waste a whole bunch of studio money. Maximus himself fundamentally disagrees with the idea his character would father an illegitimate son, given the motivation of actions in the original. So when Crowe says they fundamentally missed the mark, he is 100% correct.
