Review of Gladiator (2000) by Etopp — 19 Jan 2022
I didn't watch this in the cinema when it came out. I thought it sounded silly. On my first watch, I ejected the DVD after ten minutes because of the historical inaccuracies. However, a lot of people *love* this movie so I thought I should give it a second go.
It's... OK. I think a lot of fans give it high ratings because of the fight scenes but I found them underwhelming because of the overuse of CGI and fast cuts. On the plus side, the acting is top-notch.
It was good to see Richard Harris and Oliver Reed in another historical drama.
