Product: Gladiator [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 2.0
Should have been better
With Ridley Scott's name attached to a gladiator movie, I expected something good. Unfortunately, that is not the case. I hated the dog jumping through fire. I hated the musical score blatantly ripping off Gustav Holst' "The Planets". I hated the little boy who looked like pre-adolescent Adrian Lyne. I hated totally the UNCONVINCING cgi effects. I hated that the tigers didn't EAT any of the stadium combatants. I hated the completely miscast Joaquin Phoenix. I hate that the trailer featuring Kid Rock's "Bawitdaba" wasn't included on this dvd.
