Poll: Braveheart or Gladiator?

[bacillus]

Gladiator.

 

[Whitecloak]

Gladiator all the way

 

[HowardStern]

Gladiator is a ripoff of Spartacus, and isn't as good. Just try watching it. Both movies are inspired by Spartacus, but Braveheart more so. But if I had to pick between the 2 I'd pick Braveheart because it has more gratidous killing in it.

 

[TheVrolok]

Braveheart !

 

[NuclearNed]

BRAVEHEART

People who have seen Gladiator ought to see Ben Hur and Spartacus. Gladiator is nothing but a shallow CGI'd version of these two great movies.

 

[Electric Amish]

Neither.

Spartacus is definitely a better story than Gladiator.

But Gladiator was done so well that I can watch it everytime it's on the satellite. I've probably seen it over 30 times, now. 3 or 4 times at the theater, twice in one day when I bought the DVD.

I have Braveheart, also, and thoroughly love it. But it doesn't have the script, effects, or exceptional acting, IMO. I think Gladiator was cast much better than Braveheart. Joaquin Phoenix made an excellent nemesis.

Braveheart, such a good movie, better soundtrack too.

 

[metallibloke]

Braveheart, no contest really!

 

[Cyberizer]

Braveheart, no doubt. I can watch Braveheart again and again. I am done with Gladiator!

 

[TheKidd]

I much preferred Braveheart. It just seemed more intelligent and better thought-out thatn Gladiator. Also, I tend to like movies set in the middle ages, so that gave Braveheart an edge.

 

[LordThing]

Braveheart! Better story, never slowed down. Where that bull with the ceasar and his sister seemed to drag the movie down.

 

[Linh]

braveheart. the two aren't even on the same level.

 

[BigWillyStyle]

Like both movies...I dont really think that it is a fair comparison. One is supposed to be based on a true story, where the other is total fiction. I liked them both for different reasons. I voted for Gladiator in the poll though

 

[Kjazlaw]

Gladiator

 

[arod]

Gladiator here.

 

[syzygy]

braveheart.

gladiator leached off braveheart: the murder of their wives (and son), their peaceful lives uprooted, heroic revenge upon their malefactors, the beckoning hereafter, mystical
allusions to eternal peace upon death, the reunion with their wives in heaven.

all these themes appeard first in braveheart and were then lifted with little modification for gladiator. gladiator added a son, a finer pedigree, greater
material wealth, and a few more trifling details.

 

[Smbu]

Well, this is an easy choice: Braveheart
It was much better than Gladiator(best picture? what a joke).

 

[Muadib]

FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!! Still sends chills through me when I watch that part, and I still shed tears when the little
girl hands him the flower.

 

[RaDragon]

Braveheart -- better story (though historically inaccurate). I loved Gladiator, too, though.

 

[eddo]

I've seen Gladiator way too many times. It's on HBO and HBO plus constantly over here. I have braveheart on DVD but haven't seen the whole thing. But I have seen the end plenty. Think I'll check out Braveheart sometime soon. But for now it's Gladiator

 

[Linh]

freedom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[patrickj]

I have both on DVD, so I guess I don't have to choose...

 

[webnewland]

[FinalLastz]
