Worth watching for the action.

It didn't hold a candle to "Spartacus" when comparing "Gladiator" to other period pieces. The best sceens were those early in the movie with fighting against the Germanic tribes. They never tied the geography together for me... Spain, N. Africa, Germany, Rome. I did like the special effects of rebuilding Rome to the era. Worth watching for the action.
