Summary: A Real Lullaby
Review: Man, this is supposed to be a really good movie, so I had high hopes. These hopes were shot down about ten minutes into it. Not only is this film boring, but the sound effects drove me nuts. The music is way too loud, the voices are so soft and muddled that I couldn't even understand what was being said half the time. Lots of violence - if that is what supposed to make this film great, it doesn't do it for me. (A headless horseman, big deal.) Parts of it were very confusing and hard to follow. I still don't understand the poisonous snake scene. Maybe if I could have heard the dialogue over the background noise I'd have a better opinion of the movie. Part of the problem, I think, is that it's a guy film. Perhaps it's something a woman like me just can't appreciate. What WAS that snake doing there?

I loved every single aspect of this film!

Summary: What a film!
Review: This film is absolutly, undoubtably the best film i have ever seen! It has something for everyone. Combining Action with adventure, Mystery with Romance, you'll be on the edge of your seats i asure you! I think that Russell Crowe delivers an amazing performance as Maximus, the roman general turned slave gladiator! The score to this film is also a must have, there are two versions of the soundtrack, i have both and they are both excellent. My opinion: Everyone should (MUST) Have a copy of this film. Truly and epic, and it deserves all the Oscar awards it received.

Summary: Best movie I've seen in awhile
Review: All the "My God, he's gorgeous!" aside, this film is wonderful. The title character is one you root for from the beginning and the supporting characters you either love to love or love to hate. Beautifully filmed and expertly directed, there are no slow spots in this one!

Summary: What an awesome dvd!
Review: The movie was cool and the dvd is a superior transfer with many special features. The image is crisp and clean and the sound complements the scenes very well. The soundtrack really resonates. I highly recommend this dvd if you are a fan of the movie, and if you have not even seen this movie yet (unlikely) then I would buy this dvd now. You will be purchasing one amazing dvd of a Best Picture Academy Award winner! You cannot go wrong. "Gladiator" deserves repeat viewings. Russell Crowe made "Gladiator" work and he even won the Best Actor Academy Award for his role as General Maximus. The drama is intense, but not too disturbing. The violent scenes did not cause me to cringe. The action sequences are excellent. This dvd belongs on every dvd collector's shelf!

Summary: A millennial answer to "Ben Hur"
Review: "Gladiator", with Russell Crowe in the lead role, and Ridley Scott at the helm, is a modern mega-budget epic that could rank as a contemporary answer to such Hollywood blockbusters as "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Ben Hur". The violence is orchestrated with much aplomb, and the plot abounds in elements of betrayal, lust, intrigue and danger. The toga'd characters, the gladiatorial combats and the devouring tigers in the arenas all create a sumptuous and magnificent feast for the imagination, an image of the splendour of Roman times. The dialogue is formal but contemporary, elevated without being forced, thus helping to underscore the "Shakespearian" effect.

Summary: AWESOME
Review: Gladiator, for those of us gifted movie goers with a large palet for action/drama, you will love this movie! Gladiator is the name of Maximus, a slave, who was once a general of the Roman Army uner a great (aged) king. (Brilliantly acted out by Russell Crowe)The king loves and honors maximus and giveds him the postion of his heir. I don't want to share much more, but this movie emphasizes the human spirit and the courage of a man, standing in the face of destiny and fighting.

Summary: Dissappointing
Review: I was totally dissappointed in this epic movie. Not in the actor and actress, they did an excellent job with what they had to work with. I was looking for more historical facts and more action. The whole thing left me wondering what exactly I had just watched.

Summary: Great movie
Review: Even after seeing this movie at least five times, it still keeps my attention like I was watching for the first time.I don't think I can tell you anything different than 1000 other reviewers have told you. Watch the movie, enjoy and don't take everything to heart.

Summary: Awful trash
Review: Dont buy this garbage. The plot is wire thin, the acting is sub par at it's best moments, the directing is shoddy and the action scenes give the film gore, not merit. very very stupid. the fact that this was even nominated for academy awards makes me extremely angry, and the fact that this thing won awards, and Almost Famous, the true movie of 2001, which had acting and a plot, isn't even nominated INFURIATES me.
