Totally Overrated

Rating: 3/10 (18 May 2015)

Gladiator is possibly one of the most over rated films I have ever seen. I went into this film thinking it would be a masterpiece. Instead I got a bloated Oscar bait film that had me cheering at the end not for its filmmaking style, but that it ended. The film is dull and the character of Maximus is in a clichéd story of a father seeking revenge against those who killed his family. I felt that it was more interestingly done, sadly, in Death Wish. Commodus is upset because his father wanted to put Maximus on the throne instead of him. So the film was sort of ripped off by Thor in every way, with one major difference. I don't want to gouge my eyes out whenever I see Thor. Don't waste your time with this overrated garbage.
