Has Gladiator Dated?

I was watching Gladiator, you know the one with Russel Crow the other day.

The special effects are pretty decent and the acting is good but for some reason it felt slightly dated. What do you think?

Is it the style of film, the type of acting, my imagination or what?

It's strange when you watch TV from just a few years back and realize how much that dates too. Technology moves on so fast that we don't notice it changing at the time. Just think CDs have been around for over a quarter of a century now1
