Blown opportunity

Rating: 3/10 (9 June 2000)

This movie had some good points but overall it was a boring action movie. The beginning was increadibly film and dramatic (I still wonder what happened to his dog). Then there are two hours of slow parts with three minutes of gladiator fighting in the spurts. The gladiator scenes themselves are full of choppy views and MTV style cuts. This is a disgrace that people are comparing this movie to the classic epics (Sparticus, Ben Hur). Even the special effects were only decent. Russell Crowe was a bad ass, but one performance does not make a movie. Actually make that two Damon (last name?) was great in it too. Overall a big disappointment.
