Maximus the horrible.

Rating: 6/10 (8 April 2001)

A long, long time ago, a movie about gladiators was released. It had sensational acting and a marvelous story-line. It kept viewers interested for the whole length. Recently, a new movie with the same plot was released set to stun audiences. Unfortunately it didn't stun a lot of viewers. The budget was astronomical, but the quality was poor. Russell Crowe tries very hard to put on a good show, but does he? NO!! He can't act. It is true that he got his Oscar, but many are still puzzled for what did he get it? The effects and choreography is trully stunning, but nothing else shines. The movie is polishes around the edges but is rough inside. MAYBE WORTH A LOOK!
