People complaining about the gladiator

Rating: 10/10 (29 May 2000)

I am shocked, stunned, and amazed by people who dislike this movie. Citing its historical inaccuracy and casting mistakes. First of all, if we wanted to see a documentary on the trials of Ancient Rome, all we would have to do is flip to PBS. I'm sure that they have made an "as close to accurate" ditty on Marcus Aurelius life, and the death of Commodus, and ultimately the fall of the roman empire. Now I don't know about you, but when I go to the movies, I would like to be entertained. And secondly, Russell Crowe was perfect for the part of Maximus.
