Guy's movie compliment to Titanic.

Rating: 4/10 (13 February 2001)

Why this movie is so critically acclaimed is beyond me. It is a boring a movie as its name. The characters are bland and one-dimensional. It is a B-movie in comparison to great Roman movies like Ben Hur and Sparticus. The only saving graces are the special effects, and Russell Crowe's big name. Russell Crowe wasn't even that great in this movie, he only carried the monicker of 'Next big actor'; the Hollywood flavor of the month.
So now, just like Titanic, it has road it success all the way to the Oscars and will probably win when other quality movies like Almost Famous, Wonder Boys and State and Main get snubbed. Once again the Academy screws up.
