This is not the gladiator movie that we might expect. A lot was wrong with this one starting with the star who wasn't quite right for the part and a story which was not really that good. It could be slow at times and drag a little. Having said that is it worth watching..... sure but don't expect the sensational movie that was the first one because if you do, you will be surely disappointed. I like to buy the DVDs of good movies I've seen to watch over again but I won't be buying this one.
