Product: Gladiator [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 1.0
Why did this win best picture?
It is a great action movie. Keyword there is action. Best picture is supposed to be a drama, and Gladiator is far from and excellent drama. In fact all the dramatic scenes were pretty bogus. I cant even believe people voted Gladiator the best-best picture of all time. Gladiator should never have won best picture. If action movies won at the oscars than why hasn't Arnold won an oscar. Arnold's action beats Ridley Scott's any day. Another epic by another Aussie is 6 thousand times better: Braveheart. William Wallace has chunks of guys like Maximus in his stool. Braveheart is far and away a better best picture candidate. In fact every other best picture winner is better than Gladiator, because Gladiator never should have won best picture.
