and it loving OWNED/. But two things:

1) he hasnt been home for 2 year and so many hundred days or whatever, but theyre a horse ride away? lmao he could have gone home for lunch every day in between killing Germans.

2) the heaven sequence at the end was just unnecessary.

but apart from that it got me super pumped, i was sat in my chair getting hype af.

He rode two horses to death over X days to get home so it wasnt like it was a trip down the road.

also the real commodus would have gladly thrown down with maximus the first chance he got and had a beard.

the real commodus also got strangled in a sauna.

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.
hes been stuck in the gaulish campaign for a long-rear end time he's nowhere near home at the start of the movie. When you're a roman general you don't get to just check out of a campaign for a few weeks to go take a vacation.

I saw Gladiator in the theater and I saw the pneumatic piston thing they used to flip the chariot over in that one scene. Really ruined the immersion and whatnot. But I lol'd too.

I like the bit where he goes "My name is...GLADIATOR". Every film should have a scene where the main character announces their name is the title of the movie.

I just watched this for the first time since it came out too and I will also say it owns. Also I just read an interview with the guy who played Joffrey Baratheon in Game of Thrones and he said he based a lot of his obnoxiousness on Commodus, and I can completely see that. Semper Commodus. Great guy.

Didn't Russel Crowe want to do a sequel to Gladiator where it turns out he's actually an immortal or some poo poo, and became Patton at one point or something equally what the gently caress?

Gladiator 2: Christ Killer.

I am not kidding about the pitched name.

quote:

What followed was something called "Christ Killer," a resuscitation of the first "Gladiator" that attempted to make Maximus immortal and include a Jesus character. In Cave's proposed sequel, Crowe's character "goes down to purgatory and is sent down by the gods, who are dying in heaven because there's this one god, there's this Christ character, down on Earth who is gaining popularity and so the many gods are dying so they send Gladiator back to kill Christ and his followers."

Pretty sure that the elysian field he was in was really the place where farts go when they die. Dude just loves the smell of farts.

when it came out you watched it for Russell Crowe but now you watch it for Joaquin Phoenix because dude owns in this. Retard beta emperor crying while he rubs his boner on his sister and hopes she'll take the initiative and gently caress him, poo poo owns.
