Best Movie!!?? Gimmie a break!

Rating: 4/10 (8 May 2001)

I can't say that I was really surprised when this movie won best picture. Hollywood long ago stopped awarding films that have any merit and only award films that make them money. Even saying that, to give this insipid junk any kind of recognition proves beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the academy awards are a pathetic farce. As far as battle scenes go, they weren't bad, but the rest of the film is a total bore, did the writers really think they were being clever by naming the title character Maximus!!?? Wow! How clever! Skip this movie. It stinks.
