When paired solely against Braveheart and 300, I don't see why anyone would consider that an outlandish statement. Come on.

Gladiator, definitely.

Gladiator>Bravehart>300

I just don't like the CGI over-the-top comic-book style of 300 (yes I know it was based on a graphic novel) and I feel like Gladiator doesn't drag in the middle as much as Bravehart. Gladiator also has better production value and a better protagonist. Bravehart has much better supporting characters, however.

Gladiator

300

Braveheart




Gladiator




The other movie doesn't exist.






Excepting the historical bullshite (which Gladiator also has in abundance), Braveheart has very little against it.

Gladiator and it's not even close

Gladiator tops for me too, over Braveheart.

I enjoyed the story more, the battles more, I thought Commodus was the better constructed villain, I was mesmerized by Lucilla, and perhaps most importantly, to me, Russell Crowe is Maximus no matter what else he plays.

Mel Gibson is, well, Mel Gibson. To me, it's Mel Gibson in Braveheart, like Mel Gibson in The Patriot, Lethal Weapon, Mad Max, etc. Too recognizable, detracts from the immersion into the story.

Crowe, on the other hand, is like Viggo Mortenson in LOTR. He portrays the role well, is believable, but when I saw it on first release, I didn't already have a preconception of Crowe as someone else.
Now, if you're seeing it for the first time years later, that might be different for you.

300 just doesn't approach these movies. That was a fun movie, but not in the same class.

Braveheart, easily. It's an incredible film.

300 was fun.

Gladiator was meh.
