It's pretty wek in retrospect. Joker Send a noteboard - 26/09/2009 07:58:14 PM
Like a lot of films, it's strong for the first half and exceedingly weak for the second half. Commodus is a boogeyman, and retarded to boot. I was like Dr. Evil's son, Scotty, when he said (paraphrasing here), "Why don't you just kill him? Why go through the elaborate deal with the sharks and lazers and timers and crap? Let's just get a gun and shoot him in the head." That's what Commodus, or anyone with an IQ over 60, would do. Maximus is a cool character, but the film is too focused on its romantic aspects. Kingdom of Heaven was the opposite: a fantastic film with a weak lead.
