Walk the Line vs. Gladiator

Gladiator is extremely boring. Walk the Line is a good, well-done drama.

I enjoy Walk the Line, but I question Reese Witherspoon getting the Oscar for best lead when Phoenix didn't even get nominated.

Man...so love both of these, and I was not a Cash fan before Walk The Line. That being said...if I was forced to choose, it's gotta be Gladiator.

Actually, Phoenix was nominated for Best Actor that year. Anyways, Gladiator wins this with ease.

Walk The Line was well acted and well directed, the writing wasn't so good since the story was over simplified though. I don't like Gladiator, it's boring and predictable. Phoenix is astonishing in both.

Eh, Gladiator never did it for me. Loathed it first time. Tried to give it another shot, just found it alright. I loved JoPho there though. Walk the Line is way more interesting. Of course, it lacks Joaquin Phoenix singing "God's Gonna Cut You Down", but I guess it was too older-Johnny-Cash to be included, right?
