Russell Crowe's moment

Rating: Null/10 (9 August 2002)

Russell Crowe won an Academy Award for his performance in the "Best Picture" of 2000, "Gladiator," a highly enjoyable but also overrated movie. When I first saw this in theaters, I thought of it as a decent popcorn flick, not one without depth, but a popcorn flick nonetheless. I was surprised to see this movie winning the Best Picture Academy Award. Don't get me wrong, I really did enjoy this movie but it seems to have earned more in accolades than it actually deserved. Just my opinion. Look for Djimon Hounsou ("Amistad") as fellow gladiator, Juba.
