WTF? it was great! what you talking about bad movie? it aint bad Russel was VERY good, and the fight scences where also impressive! the whole story was just good, thu I would like to say one thing, and this is to all haters of the movies as well as lovers, go check out a movie called
The fall Of The Roman Empire
now thats the real deal!
It was okayish.....is not one of Riddley Scott best films (suscesful yes! His best? no!) I defenetly don't think it deserved the Oscar for best film (but then again the Oscars mean shit to me) The only thing I did like was because Riddley was directing and Oliver Reed was in it. Joaquin and Russell weren't that interesting at all.
As for Spartacus....well, we all know that Riddley was trying to make his own version of a gladiator movie. But nothing beats the Kubrick's work.

Anyways, nope don't see any similarities there other than at one point both of them being Gladiators. Other than that, two completely different characters with two completely different storylines. I'm sorry but if this is the only reason you have for not liking this movie then frankly I'm afraid you're argument doesn't hold much weight at all and I believe you're robbing yourself from enjoying a very good film.

And when did I say that? When did I use that word? If you're gonna be smart enuff to quote me then at least try to be equally as smart when trying to interpret what I say. If you have any questions I'll be more than happy to answer them but in the future...Please refrain from putting words in my mouth or twisting what I say, that's not cool and I really don't appreciate it at all.
Btw, getting back to the actual topic. When did Maximus lead a slave revolt? This tells me that you're a little confused? I think you need to watch the movie again and pay better attention to it and next time please try to be more cognisant of what you say.

Sounds like a bit revolt-esque to me, wouldn't you say? Anyhow...the next time you try to argue about a movie w/o specific examples from the movie to back up your own argument...don't.

Uhh...it sounds like you're giving yourself some good advice here, I hope you're smart enuff to take it.
Anyway, I'll let you get back to talking to yourself, I'm done.
You seem to be doing a lot of arguing instead of trying to further your point that actually started said argument. So obviously you either lost site of the point of this thing, or you're just fighting with me in a futile effort to boost your ego. In both cases, why am I still talking to you?
I bet if I were a MOD you would!
the point is, you aren't. and with your attitude, you never will be. plus, mods don't needlessly argue, and when they do have the occasional debate, they do it properly.
