a good film,but a copied script

Rating: 8/10 (5 October 2005)

when i saw the movie "Gladiator",it reminded me of many other movies.The story is a mix of movies like-Ben Hur and The Ten Commandments.The scene where maximus is taken by the slave traders,reminded me of the scene in ben hur,where he is taken as a prisoner by romans.The rivalry between maximus and the king is quite similar to the rivalry between moses and ramses in the Ten commandments,wherein the hero is favoured by the king's father.When i saw gladiator,i thought-"well this is a like a cocktail of 2 or 3 movies".but i must admit that the fight sequences were awesome.Overall a good movie,but i wouldn't say its my favourite.
