Review: This movie is a GREAT movie. It was excellent special effects and a very good plot. This is my favorite movie, rossul crowe leads an excellent role for his character. If you don't like a lot of gore, maybe this isn't the best choice, but on the other hand, if u haven't seen it, your missing out.

Summary: Eat dust! Charton Heston
Review: When it comes to these kind of movies, we can not forget the Epics of the 50s such as 'Ben Hur' and 'Qvo Vadis'. But when a movie is filmed in your homeland and is all over the press then one must see it. It is a long movie, so you will need to upgrade to a larger size popcorn for this one. The storyline has some similarities to the 50's epic 'Ben Hur', but 'Gladiator' leaves 'Ben Hur' to eat dust. The advancement in technology and special effects are in Gladiator's advantage but so is the casting. We all remember the artificialness of Charlton Heston's performance but Russell Crowe is one heck of an actor and he deserves an oscar for his role as General Maximus. And of course I still have not mentioned that the movie was filmed in my beloved Malta. Although one must really work hard in identifying the shots that where filmed in Malta there are quite a few and the side of the bastions gives it in. And of course the credits give thanks to 'The Government and People of Malta'.

Summary: So much for the glory of Rome
Review: A well balanced blend of drama and action, Gladiator follows the rise and fall of two great men. Maximus (Russel Crowe) delivers a mind imprinting performance as he goes from General of the Northern armies to becoming a slave. Forced into becoming a gladiator, he slowly climbs back to the top. With many road bumps along the way, we see a man fight for love, honor, and respect. Amazing sequences, artistically sound in it's delivery, and some kick butt gladiator fighting that'll have you screaming "thumbs down" to the new Ceasar.

Review: AWESOME is the only word that can properly describe this film! I have rarely watched a movie that effected me so strongly with the sheer acting ability of the individuals on-screen! These actors wowed me with their dramatic portrayal of Roman characters! That is the only way to describe the brilliant story they brought to life in this movie! Five stars, definitely!

Summary: Gladiator
Review: This was one of the most exilarating and action packed film that I have seen. It has a very interesting storyline and shows how important the loss of a family is. It has spectacular special effects and the digtal image of Comodus is very easily mistaken for an actual face, and I hadn't been told about the fact that Comodus had died during the filming I wouldn't have noticed the difference. I hope that I will be able to bet it through Amazon on DVD.

Summary: One of the great epics of all time
Review: From the opening scene, I knew that this was going to be an incredible movie. I wont't give away any plot twists, but the acting, directing, cinematography, and special effects were all top notch. it reminded me of Ben-Hur the most, and it's equally as good. Whether you own a dvd player or a vcr, this movie will look faboulous. I know all this has been said before, but I just wanted to get my piece in. I promise: at the very least, you will find this to be a rousing epic worth at least 2 trips to the rental store. Look for this at next year's Oscars/golden globes!

Summary: All emotions felt ! Wonderful.
Review: As the true movie lover that I am, I can be very critical. This had everything for the above 18 crowd. I was impressed by Russell Crowe's proformance and Joaquin Phoenix pulled off an outstanding feat to make you both loathe and pity him at the same time. The story line is tried and true, and very effective. It made my heart race and my spirit soar.

Summary: "Do ya like gladiator movies?" Well, I sure do now.
Review: Ridley Scott, long absent from the Halls of Great Film-making (his last great films were Blade Runner and Alien), at last returns to the fore with Gladiator, an epic tale of vengeance, betrayal, politics, and honor. Rife with battle, both inside and out of the Colosseum, Scott's film well explores the brute power and fickle sway of the mob mentality. Russell Crowe is the sternly essayed Maximus, a deposed general cast into the bloody world of the gladiator. He yearns to join his slain wife and child in the Elysian Fields of an idyllic afterlife, but when the opportunity emerges to avenge them upon he who commanded their slaughter, Maximus plays his part to abide in this world a little longer. In a bit of sardonic humour, he becomes a suicidal gladiator with a mission that requires him to live. Joaquin Phoenix struts and whines as the spoiled Commodus, Rome's latest incarnation of deity (for so the Roman emperors were declared to be). He seeks to win the favour of the masses, but his despotic habits would seem to intervene. In Maximus, he finds his greatest enemy and is constantly thwarted in his efforts to kill or disaffect the crowd's pleasure in the rugged gladiator. While establishing several currents, one of Gladiator's chief themes is the symbiotic relation between the Colosseum's mob and those who would seek its favour. It never becomes quite clear whether it is the masses who rule the gladiators or the gladiators who rule the masses. And more amazing is the fact that Scott's deft filmwork so immerses the audience into the flavor of the screen that the audience becomes in a very real sense, one with the mob. It feels the excitement when they do. It cringes when they do. It roots for its favorite just as they do. This disturbing reality so intrigued me that I could not help noticing similarities between the Colosseum and Hollywood itself: two dynamic monstrosities which both feed and are fed by their audiences' bottomless appetites. Technically, Gladiator is a wonder to behold. Frenetic camerawork and editing emphasize the surreal - though blistering - pace of battle. Strange filters and time-lapse photography during Maximus' afterlife-reveries are fantastic and recall similar practice in Joan of Arc's visions in Luc Besson's The Messenger and even in the whole unreal experience of David O. Russell's Three Kings. The use of computer-generated imaging is truly spectacular (and almost flawless) and this kind of movie couldn't have been accomplished without it. The acting comes in fine form (Crowe stands out especially) and the story itself (though a historical mockery) is taut and keeps a largely rapt audience for the duration.
