Product: Gladiator [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 4.0
quite excellent but for all those sissy greeks
theres this king who has a wussy for a son.so the king doesnt want a wussy for a ruler.that could be bad for greece.he does want his general though.so he gives the job to the general privately.he dies before making it public.the prince tries to take over.he kills the generals family and takes him in as a gladiater forcing him to fight in the ancient arenas.this is true by the way.he gets into many crazy arena battles.some even involving tigers!he becomes a big sensation with the people.its too gory for the children.a cool quote is"we're all just shadows and dust,maximus.shadows and dust!"of old movies from mid-evil times,this one is a lot better than most but doesnt touch braveheart.the prince is very obnoxious and gay.he was too much of a coward to battle maximus hiself.its better than anything i heard about it.its a bit long but action packed.
