Now what it is cracked up to be

Rating: 5/10 (21 May 2000)

Inaccurate and fake are all I can think of when I think about Gladiator. If you want to see a great Ridley Scott movie, rent Alien or Blade Runner. And if you want to see good acting from Russell Crowe, see him flex his muscles in L.A. Confidential. Gladiator is just another big dumb movie that passes as an intelligent one. No offense to Crowe(I really loved The Insider), but he's no Mel Gibson and Braveheart, with all it's weaknesses, is so much better than the computer-generated Gladiator.
