How did people make the mistake of calling this a good movie?

Rating: 3/10 (15 June 2000)

How can everyone like this movie? Any seventh grader that takes details from Braveheart (one of the greatest movies ever) could write a better script. Pheonix did one of the worst acting jobs of the year, though what could he do when the script couldn't decide if we should hate him because he's a coward, because he's cruel, or because he's a pervert. The three reasons didn't mix well at all. I do have to say the fight scenes were great, with the exception of the direction in the first one and the blade on the wheel cutting someone in half. Crowe is also a great actor, but he couldn't save the most overrated movie I've seen.
