I don't know...

Rating: 8/10 (3 June 2000)

Tomorrow I am going to see it for the second time. I'm still in doubt about how I feel about it. I remember watching the movie and every now and again I was stunned by a beautifull image. Landscape, fight etc. But even though Russel Crowe's Maximus has some horrible stuff done to him, I didn't cry one tear. It all (well most of it, I didn't really like the Elysian dream sequences very much) looked great, but I wasn't really moved by the action.
But I couldn't stop thinking about the film, and photo's of Russel Crowe as Gladiator do draw my eyes to them. I bought the soundtrack and have been listening for it for three days now, and the music is touching. And so I'm going to see it a second time and see if the movie is great after all...
