Troy or Gladiator?

[hongcouver604]

Gladiator. Couldn't stand Orlando Bloom in Troy... the movie was also Hollywood as hell.

 

[elpablo21]

Troy is nowhere in the realm of Gladiator

 

[jasko mostar]

[witnessmycalm21]

You can't beat that. 

Was Troy and Gladiator set during the same time? I remember in the movie Troy, Odysseus says something like, "Troy has the finest army in the east". I believe Gladiator was set around 300 BC? 
Homer's Illiad takes place in ~1194 BC during in Ancient Greece. Gladiator is set in Ancient Rome like 1200 years after that 

. I wanna say maybe 150-200 AD

 

[thegoat121886]

actually it had to take place after 180AD because Commodus didnt come into power until then. Joaquin Phoenix played Commodus

Gladiator for numerous reasons. Better writing, acting, directing, editing, mise-en-scene, etc.

Some of the visuals featuring ancient Rome and the Coliseum were just

The history buff side of me hated them both, though

This. No love for Troy? That quote in the beginning where he dumps on that little kids face always makes me laugh.

"The Thesselonian you're fighting... he's the biggest man i've ever seen. I wouldn't want to fight him"
"Thats why no one will remember your name"

I haven't watched Gladiator since i was like 14 though so maybe I'm bias.

Gladiator because I never watch Troy.. Now I'm interest in watching troy..

 

[flight8403]

GLADIATOR with ease
plus they butchered the true story of achilies and hector etc.

in the true story hector was a *^&%% 

achilies was killed on accident by Paris, unlike how the movie made dude into a sharp shooter.

hector killes achilies' cousin on purpose once he realized who it was and took his armor to rub it in. Despite how in the movie they actually made people feel bad for hector when he got sonned.

 

[orfiyus]

gladiotor cuz I never seen troy.

Im gonna try to watch it now tho cuz this thread sparked my interest.

GLADIATOR.

is the directors cut of troy better than the original released version?


because unless we are talking 'kingdom of heaven'/'sucker punch' type jumps from the theatrically released version to the directors cut, this question is insulting

33 more mins of gore and they toss babies like footballs

It's not even close. Gladiator is a all time classic, Troy is forgettable.
