Long time Ridley Scott collaborator slams the Gladiator 2 director for being "lazy" and "impatient" with his filmmaking: "Having lots of cameras I don’t think has made the films any better"
Cinematographer John Mathieson has some critiques of Ridley Scott's recent filmmaking hab🎃its

John Mathieson, the cinematographer for both Gladiator films, has slammed Ridley Scott's recent filmm🌼aking habits inﷺ a new interview.
Speaking on , Mathieson described Scott's tendency to leave things 🦩in shot to be later cleaned up in post-production as "lazy".
“It’s really lazy. It’s the CG elements now of tidying-up, leaving things in shot, cameras in shot, microphones in shot, bits of set hanging down, shadows from [boom micsꩵ]. And they just said [on Gladiator 2], ‘Well, clean iꦦt up.'"
The cinem🃏atographer didn't stop there, calling Scott "impatient" for getting "as much as he ꦫcan" using a multi-camera setup.
“Having lots of cameras I don’t think has made the films any better," Mathieson said. "It’s💟 a bit rush, rush, rush. That’s changed in him. But♑ that’s the way he wants to do it and I don’t like it and I don’t think many people do, but people love his films and he’s Ridley Scott and can do what he wants.”
Gladiator 2, starring Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, and Denzel Washington, is a follow-upಞ to Scott's 2000 classic. As of time of writing, it has grossed over $300 million at the worldwide box office.

Reviewer Kelechi Ehenulo wrote, "It’s far from his best work, but the return to form by Scott is notable, proving that he still has the cinematic power to visually engage and excite audiences. Are you not entertained? Well, Scott still possesses the magic."
