Summary: ACTION, SUSPENCE, & DRAMA at its best...
Review: This movie was incredible! Lots of action, blood, and gore. Russel Crowe does an excellent job in his role. The drama and suspence are comparible to Braveheart and Patriot! See this in the theatures now or do yourself a favor and by it on DVD with Digital surround sound system. Enjoy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best movie EVER
Review: If you liked Braveheart as much as I did, you probably thought that it would never have an equal. But guess what, Gladiator has come out, and although hard to concieve, this movie is every bit as good as Braveheart, but the battle scenes and intensity of the plot are even better. This movie is not for people with a weak tolerance for violence, but if you bring yourself to see it, you will understand, as many others do, why this movie is the most intense film ever!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: True Hollywood Hero
Review: The Gladiator is a story of a true hero. I was not sure if Hollywood could ever produce this kind of hero, but they proved me wrong. The plot is a very simple one; it is about a war hero, Marcus Aralias who becomes a gladiator in the 'rural' part of the Roman Empire. He goes to Rome to do battle in the Coliseum as a gladiator. The end of the story just has to be seen, so I will not reveal the end... Overall a fabulous movie, I would suggest it to history and action buffs, even my sister liked it and we were both in tears at the end of it...

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good but not perfect
Review: A good movie but not as good as most make it out to be. Not even close to being an "epic" movie. And whats with the blury and fast cut fight scenes...most tv shows have better swordplay.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another Ridley Scott Classic
Review: Gladiator is right up there with BladeRunner, Alien, Conquest of Paradise and Legend as Ridley Scott's best. The music combination of Lisa Gerrard (formerly - Dead Can Dance) and Hans Zimmer follow in the tradition of great musical scores of Vangelis and Tangerine Dream. It's a beautiful film; I saw it 4 times at the Theater. Can't wait too get the DVD !

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife..."
Review: Saying this movie is good would underate it, saying it is awesome would underrate too, never since 'The Matrix' or 'Star Wars Episode 1' has a movie got me so involved with it, wanting more and more and getting what I want out of it. I have been waiting to get this on DVD since last May and I know I will not be disappointed. Buy this DVD, buy the soundtrack, prepare to be amazed because 'Alien' is not Ridley Scott's best movie!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: 100 % Brutality
Review: Well, the movie itself is brilliant. Cameras, scenes, shots, actors, everybody did a great job. However, it seems to me that the movie's a little bit too brutal. In almost every shot you see somebody getting killed or somebody dead. After an hour or so, I was really bored by this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Colosseum.
Review: There was a heavy atomosphere in this movie. It made me concentrate on the movie and I was tired after seeing it.

The scene of this movie is in ancient Roma. Especially in Colosseum where many gladiator are fighting for their own freedom.

I enjoyed this movie a lot. Probably you will enjoy too. Thank you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME!
Review: This movie is one of the best films I have seen this year! The visual effects of this movie are outstanding, but nothing can compare to Star Wars Episode I. The movie mainly talks about Russell Crowe, (I forgot his name) who starts out having a wife and a son, and is apart of a war, which he and his men win. After the war, the king of Rome (Joaquin Phoenix) finds out about this "Gladiator", and for some odd reason, that I forgot, the king kills his wife and son. The Gladiator finds out that his family is dead, and decides to go into a championship of fighting, along with other men, to compete to be able to fight in the Coliseum. One of the fighters, who is apart of the Gladiator's group, is Djimon Hounsou from the movie "Amistad". Once the Gladiator wins the fights, he finally arrives in the Coliseum, and does a lot of fighting against man and beast. The king is very jealous that the Gladiator is winning all these fights, and finally, at the end of the movie, fights him, and ofcourse, looses, and dies. The really awesome thing about this movie is the visual effects, the action, and the acting; this movie is a complete work of art!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A powerful and stunning epic Ridley at the peak of his game.
Review: Ridley Scott is at the hight of his career with this stunning Gladitorial epic.We first begin in Germania enter the world of general Maximuxs a brave man an incredible leader and the last hope for his people is about to fight a battle for rome and in this part the battle scenes are so incredible that your awe struck when the battle is won he proceeds to go back the life that he loves the most his family.But Ceaser Marcus Arillius wishes him to stay to lead the people of rome into a better way of life but asking Maximus to become the next Ceaser in hopes that rome will change , he respectfully declines and rests to begin his jorney home.But the feeble minded Commonus visits the Ceaser to talking and whining about why he should have been voted taliking about virtue and fortitude being traits of a ruler and after all that suffocates him.

When maximus recives the news he is troubled by it and is forced to rule with Commonus he declines and is taken by roman

soldiers to be killed.He fights them and charges to his family only to see everything he held dear to ruien.He is picked up by a former Gladiator along with other slaves to train to become a Gladiator and become one he will and one of the greatist he becomes until he gets the honor of fighting in the colloseium where he becomes a true champion among all and a legendary Gladiator only going by the name spanyard until he reveals his true identity the banished General.

Through this he seeks an alliance with grakus and kills a champion Titus , escapes from a war to form his army but in a last stand with Commonus that he eventually prove fatal he has fought for the freedom of rome for the people and earns the right to be with his family to shine in the stars as one of romes greatist Gladiators , a truly epic and emotional film that deserves many awards it may not be accurate but it stands with such greats as Ben Hur , Sparticus , Braveheart , and the

Robe not many movies like this anymore that are truly sweeping if you loved Braveheart or Sparticus definately this movie is sure to please the dvd owner a wondeful film
