Best Picture? Huh?!

Rating: 3/10 (2 April 2001)

Probably the worst movie to ever win the best picture Oscar (certainly the worst I've seen.)
Sure, the action is fun, the acting and directing are solid and the special effects are nice, but 'best picture'? The script for Gladiator leaves so much to be desired that everything the movie has going for it was not enough to keep me interested with the characters and the story.
A 'fun' popcorn movie, but no way does it deserve the best picture Oscar (even with the dearth of good movies in 2000.)just another overhyped, big budget Hollywood movie.
(6/10 )
