I was sure i was watching a DVD by accident
I still remember watching Gladiator in the movie theater almost a decade ago. It was excellent, my friends and I talked about the movie nonstop. I even brought my girlfriend at the time to see it, and we talked about it nonstop. It is rare for this type of movie to be embraced by females, maybe it was Russell Crowe? Who knows, regardless this movie was a masterpiece. Absolutely perfect from start to finish. I purchased the DVD the day of its release ages ago and am contemplating purchasing a Blue Ray player and this would defiantly be one of the first movies I purchase.Well, my brother happens to be a big fan of this movie as well and has a Blue Ray player. So he invited me over so we can catch up and watch this movie on Blue Ray. I could not tell that this was on Blue Ray. In fact, I thought it was even worse than the DVD I have at home. The extended parts that were included were pretty cool, but I was definitely expecting more from Blue Ray. My brother threw in another movie afterwards to ensure me that it was just the movie, and not Blue Ray in general, and I was blown away by the quality of Sin City on Blue Ray. So I still will give in to the Blue Ray, but not this movie.Here I am checking out what other people think of Gladiator in Blue Ray and it looks like everyone is in agreement that it was created rather poorly. Can this be redone? I would definitely purchase this movie, but I already have it on DVD, so work that Blue Ray Magic!
