I believe the impact was mostly to do with the visuals. And, honestly, that is very fair. While it is inctedibly dull and cringe story-wise, the visuals are phenominal, especially since the movie is now already 15 years old.
I feel the same way about Jurassic Park in that sense, though it is much less cringe than Avatar (but still pretty basic story-wise).
Also, for those interested in more mature movies: Juror #2. I had good expectations and was not disappointed. At least, not by the movie. There were only a handful of people in an already small cinema room, only a week after release. Meanwhile, Gladiator II is drawing a lot of public.
While I love shitting on CEOs and business people as much as the next left-oriented person, this trend in the movie industry is very much, at least partially, at fault due to many of the consumers.
I'm sorry if I'm pissing off any annoying orange fans with this particular comparison. However, one cannot deny that he is indeed an annoying orange.

Happened at our table a couple of months back.
Oh the irony of loving winter but disliking the associated holidays. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Yeah exactly. I wonder how Trump would've responded if anyone in the room asked him if he would have used diplomacy had he been president during Pearl Harbour or 9/11. I'd have loved to see him squirm his way out of that one after he stated that Zelensky needs to be open for concessions in exchange for peace.
