stupid, boring crap

Rating: 1/10 (24 February 2001)

This is essentially a combined remake of several movies that deal with the fall of the Roman empire (Spartacus, Fall of the R.E., Quo Vadis?). These movies were made 30+ years ago, so I guess in the obvious lack of ideas the producers thought it would be a great idea to redo the same freakin' material.
"Gladiator" also draws obivious comparisons to "Braveheart" but "Braveheart" is a million times better movie. Or "Saving Private Ryan". Heck, "Armageddon" is better than this overrated piece of trash. Crowe's character's motivation is to avenge the death of his wife and son. But since we never see them, WHO CARES???!!
When you find yourself rooting for the bad guy, like I did, it's a good sign the movie sucks.
