Good, but not Great

Rating: 8/10 (30 January 2002)

After I saw "Gladiator" the first time, I can sincerely say that I was completely bored. About a month I saw it again and found myself to be remotely interested. It is a great ACTION movie, not a drama. Russell Crowe has pulled off better performances than his portrayal of Macho Maximus. The plot still doesn't satisfy me because you never become completely attached to Maximus. So, who the hell cares if he dies at the end? If I gave and Oscar to Russell Crowe, it would be for the "Insider". Overall I gave this movie ******** out of 10.
