While Gladiator handles itself brilliantly at times and features a great final hour, the film is very tedious and doesn't entertain for the majority of the duration.
-
In all the praise and criticism, the one thing no one discusses is just how silly most of the film is. Yes its undeniably entertaining but the story is just one goofy, over-the-top scenario after another and Ridley Scott (as well as the cast) takes it all so seriously. In any case, I do enjoy re-watching it from time to time, as I have a soft spot for grandiose speeches and gorgeous spectacle.

Gladiator is a historical epic from director Ridley Scott. After being betrayed by the new Caesar, Roman general Maximus is sold into slavery as a gladiator where he rises to fame as a people's champion and finds an opportunity to exact his revenge. Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, and Connie Nielsen lead the cast and deliver strong performances. Additionally, the gladiator fights are especially dynamic and exciting, featuring several different styles of combat. The costumes and sets are also remarkably well-done, and create a vivid depiction of ancient Rome. And, Hans Zimmer's score does an excellent job at capturing the tone of the film. Thrilling and action-packed, Gladiator delivers a compelling tale. "Are you not entertained?!"
