An empty, corny horrible movie made up of cheap thrills

Get off your high horse please. The fact that you think this is the height of cinema is laughable. The story is linear and the characters doesn't have much depth. Even the action could be a lot better, something which this film should EXCELL at. It's not very thought provoking. Don't get me wrong, I still think the movie has its qualities, but you're making it out to be something it's far, far from.

Is there meant to be something wrong with that?
Even the action could be a lot better
The action sequences are superb.
It's not very thought provoking
Sooooo thought provoking soooo incredibly thought provoking. In fact while I was watching I was begging them to stop being so thought provoking, because my thoughts literally couldn't take any more provocation.
Don't get me wrong, I still think the movie has its qualities
WOW that's big of you Mr Kubrick, I'm sure you could make a masterpiece if only
I see you gave Scarface and Apocalypse Now only 6/10 each.
You think Don Jon is better than Apocalypse Now and Scarface
I rest my case. -

Commodus couldn't do that, Maximus was a Roman hero so he had to kill him in public in what would at least
appear
to be a fair fight.
It seems to me that you don't fully understand the finer points of story telling, maybe you should stick to more basic fare. -

Listen, I am a history buff. I enjoy reading history and I know for a fact that if Gladiator had been real life, all the Emperor had to do is order his guards to kill Maximus or whatever his name is, on his cell at night. Then the word would be out the next day that he died of some disease. Seriously the plot is nonsensical. Just because it's fiction doesn't mean it doesn't mean it doesn't have to make sense.
