My Dinner With Maximus

Rating: Null/10 (9 July 2000)

This is the talkiest bloody gladiator film I've ever seen! Yes, the first battle scene is awesome -- and there are a couple of good action scenes in the coloseum. But the rest of the film is just talk, talk, talk. It feels as though we are watching Maximus and Commodus, sitting at restaurant, talking away into the night, as the waiters stand around wanting to close up and go home. Remember when Riddley Scott made *action* films?
