Product: Gladiator [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 3.0
Great music and action but not much else
When I watched the academy awards I had this nagging feeiling that Gladiator, a really big bang film would withought a doubt win best picture. I was right. While Gladiator looks really cool and exciting on the surface, if you look deeper you will see that this is a average movie that dosent really excell in any general area. Now I want to point out that this is not a bad movie, it just dosent excell in any area, the story line is okay, the action is okay, the charachters are okay, everything is pretty much okay. The music is the big part of this movie, although at first glance it just sounds like a women humming and singing although it really helps set the mood. The action sequences for this movie are okay but are really violent and should not be watched by anyone under 15. In conclusion this is just another okay movie that is worth a rental and a purchase of the soundtrack and that is about it.The Good: Great soundtrack, action sequences are good, the ending is pretty goodThe bad: the characters arnt really developed, nothing really astonishingAnd the ugly: the action sequences are gory and only for mature audiences.
