Gladiator as a boxer.
Simple pitch, could be good. Testosterone fuelled Raging Bull Gladiator, I'll watch that and superimpose my head over him in my mind.
Except watching the trailer has put me off ever watching it.
Go watch it, go on.

No. Nononononononononono.
Gladiator weeping, Bridget Jones hugging him. "I won't always lose" weepweepweep "I can still fight" weepweephugweep with haunting piano music welling and surging in background.
"When America was on it's knees, he brought us to our feet" says the tagline.
*waves flag in jingoistic USA!USA!USA! style*
This reeks so badly of Oscar-wannabe it's embarassing.
But not as embarassing as watching Maximus cry a lot and Bridget Jones crying as well.
What has become of you? I'm starting to think that Gladiator was a one-off from psycho cop Bud White, he's actually a chubby version of Tom Hanks that likes to punch photographers and women.

someone seems to have told Crowe he can do emotional scenes. He can't.

1) Romper Stomper
2) L.A. Confidential
3) Gladiator

What do they all have in common? Mr Crowe is p***** off. A p****** off nazi, a p****** off cop and a p****** off spaniard. Give him any other emotion and you might as well film a plank. It's knotholes portray more suffering and pain than the boiley faced aussie.

[edit] I'm not sure if "Proof", one of his earlier movies showed his acting to be better. It did have Hugo Weaving in it too, so it may be that he's simply better than the other performers.

Somebody needs to rile Maximus up again, maybe throw mud at his house or draw a moustache on his wife as they sleep.
Then when he wakes all angry and "Gonna punch you", stick a leather skirt on him and let him chase you through a greenscreen warehouse.
Then you can digitally put him into "Kingdom of Heaven" and remove girlyboy Orlando Bloom.

Boom, Maximus is back being annoyed, Orlando is free to hug kittens and do period dramas with Julian Sands.
Everyone's a winner.

Damn that was almost embarrassing to watch.

The words "Directed by Ron Howard" tell me everything I need to know about that movie.

1) When he shakes his head it looks ready to fall off
2) That interrupted Age of Innocence acoustic.
