Even though it was a really good movie, it had a few negative points.

Rating: Null/10 (15 May 2000)

Gladiator was not like I thought it would be. It starts out as the fearless General of Rome brings his army to victory again and again, without as much a flesh wound made to him, despite his poor armoury. Then, the great, mighty, old, and dying Caeser favours the General over his own son. He says to him, "You are the son I should have had." So Caeser wants him to be the new Caeser within days. The General (named Maximus. Figures, why didn't they call him Mighty One already?) says he will need some time to think about it. After all, its' a hard decision to be given ultimate power over the greatest empire of the world, and have unlimited riches, over going back to his little farm in the middle of nowhere. Big mistake, the Caeser tells his son that he doesn't love him anymore, and that he never did, he would rather have Maximus on the throne than him. The son decides that he should die (duh). He also decides, after being proclaimed Caeser, that Maximus and his family should die. Of course, nothing can kill Maximus, and he escapes and rides across the world to attempt to save him family, only to find them hung on crosses.
He is later found with a rotting shoulder (amazingly enough, he is wounded) by a mob of slaves. He is taken to a slave camp, and sold. His master wants to use him as a Gladiator. Throughout the rest of the movie, Maximus wins the crowd over the Caeser, defeats the undefeated, reveals himself to Caeser, tries to get his army (fails), fights Caeser in the Colleseum (challenged by Caeser himself, what an idiot.
Despite my negative attitude, it was a very good movie.
