Only Crowe was any good.

Rating: 3/10 (9 February 2001)

Take a great actor (Russell Crowe), a thin, predictable plot, some one-dimensional characters (e.g. Commodus), a TERRIBLE musical score and throw in some computer-generated graphics, and you've got a Hollywood blockbuster. I guess it just goes to prove the old saying: no one ever lost money underestimating the taste of the American public.
