Literally jumping the shark was a bit much.

I wanted the obvious attraction between Hanno and the shark to be explored more in-depth.

Sharks in the collesium was when I noped out. So awful.

It could have been a reasonable scene without them.

Most guys aren’t swimming very well in armor if they fall in, and they did small scale naval battles

They just kept turning up the stupidity

Is this a joke or are there sharks in gladiator 2?

They fill the colosseum with water and sharks for a sea battle.

That sounds fantastic! Looking forward to it!

Edit: thought you were still messing with me, I'm really glad I didnt see the movie before I found out about this.
