Rating: 1.0
That's it?
My buddy Beau and I went to see this movie a week after it opened. We had heard a lot of hype about the "film" and we were very excited about the potential orgiastic cinema experience that lay ahead! Needless to say this is the cinematic equivalent of blue-balls. Never before have I left a theater with a feeling of such utter disapointment. I am still waiting to see the version that was screened for members of the academy, because the version I saw was about as Oscar-worthy as "White Chicks". If you are looking for a truly great "gladiator" movie, buy the special edition of Conan the Barbarian. The commentary alone is worth the price, trust me.
