: : : My only problem with that was that I didn't feel that Russel Crowe's quest was a good enough reason for all the people who died fighting for him to die, but maybe that's just because I liked the secondary characters more than I liked the Gladiator himself.
: : it was'nt enough for you that his family was crucified (sp?)???

: Do you mean the people that joined in Russel Crowe's crusade deserved to die? If so, I don't agree, I thought a lot of the supporters he had were pretty cool, course I've only seen it once so I can't say that on repeated viewings I'd feel the same, but I thought a lot of his fellow Gladiator types were great guys.
: I mean, I thought Crowe's family dying was terrible and that he should have been the Emperor, but I just had a problem with the fact that so many people gave their lives for his sake.
