51516, Gladiator's cast wasn't exactly shit Posted by Arch Stanton, Fri Mar-02-07 03:24 PM
Besides, in KOH they killed off the interesting people too fast. Liam Neeson was badass, he lasted about 5 minutes. Ed Norton as the leper king, lasted like 10 min. How can you be satisfied with Orlando Bloom's performance? He goes from widower to outlaw to potential heir-to-the-throne to a tactical genius without changing facial expression. The transition was so major and fast that it would have been hard for a really talented actor to pull off, let alone him. That said, I really like KOH, and I thought it had potential to be great. The story and characters are far more interesting than Gladiator. But I thought it fell short, largely because of Bloom.
