> Gladiator was a 90 minute movie in the body of a 3 hour epic. I think it was good enough to justify 90 minutes of fighting and angst. 3 hours of fighting and angst are what made it so bad.

Ironically, had it been 90 minutes long, I bet the academy would have ignored it completely. Its epic angst is what got it the Oscar, I'll wager - In my experience, the Academy likes long periods of brooding. And since pretty much all the nominees of that year were brooders, I guess it just went to the longest one. ;-}
