Absolutely nothing coming out about this flick is managing to dissuade me from thinking that this will go down in history as one of the most pointless and unnecessary sequels of all time... right up there with the likes of S.Darko.

[Geek Mode On]Funny, when I first started speculating on the inclusion of Naumachias, before filming even started, I thought they should throw in some sharks as well.But then I thought it would probably be a bit over-the-top. I mean, how would you get the sharks to the Colosseum? Rome is more than 15 miles from the sea, and a shark needs to keep swimming otherwise it suffocates. And the Colosseum was flooded with water from the Tiber river. Sharks cannot survive long in fresh water.Crocodiles would probably make more sense since they are amphibious and live in freshwater.
