A Must See.... but Braveheart was better

Rating: 8/10 (27 June 2001)

This movie is one that must be seen. Full of action, great acting, screenplay, everything. I have seen the movie "Braveheart" and I find that this movie tends to copy too much of "Braveheart" and this is the only thing I dissaproved of in the movie. The Gladiator tries to act like Mel Gibson, look like Mel and talk like Mel (probably because they are from the same birthplace). But if you must have an actor that portrays too much of another actor, you might as well have that actor that is being portrayed in the movie instead of somebody else. The plot and theme of "Gladiator" is also like "Braveheart". let's face it, if you've seen "Braveheart" because that one came out before "Gladiator" then you know what "Gladiator" is all about. Even almost the ending of both movies are close to the same. I enjoyed "Gladiator" very much, I give it an 8 but too much of the same thing in two different movies is hard for me to get into.
