Really?
Why didn't you like it?


It was ridiculously pompous... very american, in that aspect. The movie was totally without self irony, and considering how they kept to facts and other bothersome details, it was a mistake to take the humour out of it. Also, the plot wasn't a plot, it was an excuse to show as many fights as possible.


Pompous? How so?

The plot isn't THAT fleshed out, but Gladiator is just a good ol' revenge story. If you have a problem with that you don't like movies about vengeance, not necessarily Gladiator.
You must unlearn what you have learned.
