Gladiator is way overrated

Rating: Null/10 (25 May 2000)

First I have to say I had not heard much of this movie before entering the cinema to watch it- my mind was open for anything that would come on screen for the next 2 hours or so. It was a disaster- a fatal disaster to watch this movie. I tried to live up to some distance period of "great-movie-making" but it all fell to the ground. The dialogue was cliche- the actors were medicore- the pictures was nothing special compared to what it wanted to be. The film really tried to "be something special." The mistake made was that it tried way to hard. There was no really flow in the movie, the sequences was put together as sequences and not as if they where made for the same movie.
I was disappointed and would never recommend anyone to go see this movie. Ridley Scott may have done it before but fails to do it again!
