So even if this is complete dirty ass (and I doubt it, cos subject + director), Gladiator will still be one of my top favorites.

Fair comment and probably a badly put, overly dramatic statement from me. Highlander, the Matrix, Taken are all still great.

Spot on Highlander, I'm sure there are, but I can't think of a larger failed abortion that was Highlander 2, compared to what came before and Highlander isn't some superb movie, it's just a cheesy fun blast.

Blasphemy, Highlander is nearer to an original comic book movie than any comic book movie ever made, at times it borders on dark fantasy. It's truly a kind of magic, with perhaps the greatest original rock score of any film .

That said Hans Zimmers work on Gladiator is a fave for neo classical.

Gladiator score is great.

Basil Poledouris' score for Conan the Barbarian is still in my top 5.

Highlander has moments that raise it to something beyond what it should be, the parking lot, the church, the village, the interrogation, "why Garfield, you cruising for some ass", the Nazi's, "whatever you say jack, you're the master race", Heather's death and the monologue. The lines are often perfect, it is so much more than cheese. The duel on thr common... and the Kurgan, Ramirez, the Suurvivalist etc. It's perfect.

it would be in mine too. I love the Keeps Electronica and Believe it's a film that truly should be remade nearer the book with a Vampyre in the castle instead of the indeterminate demon, ailen thing.

There's a Renegade cut of Highlander 2 which they attempted to fix it up

i didn't mind the Highlander anime movie that was done by the Ninja Scroll director.

Robtard Senor Member

Unless they redid 90% of the film, not sure how they'd fix it. But I am intrigued.

I might have watched that anime, but going to download and watch, do love Ninja Scroll, thanks 👆

Never seen the anime, will watch.

Robtard Senor Member

I'm gonna watch it first!

Ah thanks.

Will do that if I'm unable to download. I like to add what I watch to my digital library.

Ads are only a problem when they're the essential part of the video file itself though, otherwise uBlock Origin annihilates them completely.

Depends on the uploaded material and its available resolution options.

Most of the time, all you need is an Internet browser.

But for the absolute best quality (1920 x 1080, 60FPS, true HD), you might need an external download manager program.

Gladiator wasn’t a shit film nor was it epic, IMO. It was just an okay popcorn movie that was fun to watch one time. I absolutely never understood the hype around this film and the fandom, but to each their own.

I’ll watch this sequel, but will wait for stream. No hype for me.

I've been using AdblockPlus and that's been failing lately for me.
