Product: Gladiator [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 2.0
Quite Sub-Par
I cannot seem to get over the fact that Russel Crowe won an Oscar for this! He swung a sword around for 2 hours, come on! If you want to see the Best Actor of 2000, i'll refer you to Javier Bardem (Before Night Falls). Crowe's character reached no emotional level whatsoever. We saw his wife & kid through 40 seconds of silent flashbacks, tell me why we should sympathize with his grieving?? Well photographed, well choreographed, but the rest--Craptacular.
