Enough! Die Already!

Rating: 1/10 (29 November 2006)

Gladiator is easily one of the most overrated movies ever. After a lot of good reviews and a few Oscars, Perhaps this could be decent. Again, what is the big deal everyone!? I should have listened to Ebert and Roeper who did not like this movie at all. They where on to something.
Gladiator is also a very long movie that seemingly goes on for at least ten hours. I saw this movie on PPV, and I found myself walking in and out of my own living room. This is incredibly boring and dull. The story is unoriginal and uninteresting. Perhaps the action sequences will be saving grace. Perhaps not. The action sequences were choppy and very hard to follow and The opening battle scene is so poorly directed that I did not know what was going on at all. Terrible.
The acting was wooden. Russel Crowe was not Oscar winning here at all. Phoenix also was not good here as the evil son. I did not see anyone enjoying their roles here at all. How this won so many Oscars will forever be a mystery to me. Best Picture?! My ass. I wanted the "Gladiator" to die quickly to end my misery. What a waste of my time.
The Last Word: Boooooring. Beware the hype. Heed my warning. This sucks.
