Anybody picked either one of these up on BluRay yet?
They're ing phenomenal. They even offer you $10 back if you already owned them on DVD, which is pretty sweet.
"Are you not entertained?!"

Buy both
Not even a contest...Braveheart by a long shot. That movie is so epic.
Both are good, but Braveheart is in another league.
My Lord tells me He can get me out of this mess... but he's pretty sure... you're ed!

http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/...S/5050301/1023A foolish choice in art direction casts a pall over Ridley Scott's "Gladiator" that no swordplay can cut through. The film looks muddy, fuzzy and indistinct...
a lack of detail in the long shots helps obscure shabby special effects (the Colosseum in Rome looks like a model from a computer game), and the characters bring no cheer: They're bitter, vengeful, depressed...
This same story could have been rousing entertainment; I have just revisited the wonderful "Raiders of the Lost Ark," which is just as dimwitted but 12 times more fun. But "Gladiator" lacks joy. It employs depression as a subs ute for personality, and believes that if the characters are bitter and morose enough, we won't notice how dull they are...
The battle sequences are a pale shadow of the lucidly choreographed swordplay in "Rob Roy" (1995); instead of moves we can follow and strategy we can appreciate, Scott goes for muddled closeups of fearsome but indistinct events. The crowd cheers, although those in the cheaper seats are impossible to see because of the murky special effects...
