Good film, but very common...

Rating: 7/10 (10 April 2001)

I think there's a great difference between a FILM and a common show: Gladiator was made to be a show machine, with special effects that doesn't reproduce realisticly the ancient Rome. It may be not very important, if Rome wouldn't seem a little America, with its peculiarities and its typical characters... Screenplay is well thought, and goes on, but it remains a simple "epic movie", with its exaggerations and its stereotypes. (sorry, but my english is not very good...)
