Product: Gladiator [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 5.0
Take the movie for what it's worth- a movie
I think some of you missed the whole "entertainment" value of this movie. I think some people put way too much emphasis on historical value to this movie. When I went to see this movie, I went to see a movie about a "gladiator", hence the movie title "Gladiator". Hmm, no brainer. I wasn't expecting to see a movie about historical Rome (thankfully), otherwise the movie would of been called...hmm, maybe "Rome"? Also, I never saw "Based on true events" anywhere, or "...the most historically accurate movie about Rome" or "..gladiators", so I never expected these things. I loved the story, and the action scenes. I loved the entertainment value of it being a movie, not a documentary. So for all the reviewers who bashed the ones who enjoyed the movie by calling them "moronic", who's the moronic ones? The ones who went out to watch a movie about a "Gladiator" and got their money's worth out of it, or the ones who paid to watch a movie about a "Gladiator" thinking they were getting a documentary on Rome?
