What a pathetic film!

Rating: 1/10 (26 May 2005)

I am far from an aficionado of film, but I had the unfortunate experience of seeing Russel Crowe in Gladiator tonight for the first time. I was bored senseless! Acting could have been better achieved by garden plants. The story? well.. the question is... is there a story? Special effects? They were certainly special!!! ... I have seen better on 40 year old episodes of "Thunderbirds"! A dire film that showed it's class by being Network Premiered on Channel 5 in the UK! The only person I would recommend this so called "film" to is Medusa... perhaps she could turn it to stone! While special effects usually add to a film... on this occasion they detracted from the plot... the crowd scenes... have seen better in Ben Hur! Petals falling ... seen better in Evita. A very disappointing film.
