Product: Gladiator [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 2.0
nothing but eye candy
Here's the way I see it: all movies get at least one star, because that's the lowest rating. Gladiator gets two stars: one for existing, and the other for being nice to look at. The cinematography is excellent, the CGI effects are amazing, and the action is good. The problem is, Gladiator is nothing but a loosely strung together series of money shots. The plot and dialogue fail to hold interest for more than a few minutes at a time. You can sleep through all but ten scenes or so, and you won't be missing anything.
