Stick with it, and it's an excellent movie!

Rating: Null/10 (6 November 2000)

I actually went to rent another movie, but it was gone, so I went for Gladiator' because a friend had recommended it. I didn't really know what to expect  I didn't really even know what it was about. I started watching it, and after the first scene thought it was just going to be another movie full of violence and gore. I must tell you  you have to stick with this movie. I recall at one stage, the temptation to go and do something more productive (I know - I'm terrible), but I didn't. I'm very glad I didn't; as it progressed, it got better and better, with a very powerful ending. Maybe it's because I'm not an expert critic on movies, but I don't know what people were talking about; the acting seemed great to me.
My advice  If you haven't seen it, go and rent it now. I'm usually more of a comedy person myself, but even so, I thought Gladiator' was truly excellent!
