Summary: Great acting and production, too bad plot is DUMB
Review: The actors...wonderful. The production...superb. The plot...D-U-M-B!!! First of all, no emperor is going to leave his seat to go DOWN to talk to a gladiator. At best, the gladiator would be brought up to him. Then of course, there's the Hollywood ending with... the chick somehow forgetting her child in the place about to be ransacked so the villain has a hostage. ARGH! So much potential here, but can't pan it completely due to the quality of acting and the scenematic production value.

Summary: This is one of the best movies of 2000
Review: I think Mel Gibson might want to step aside from doing historical movies and let Russell Crowe take over. This is the first Crowe movie I have ever seen and I am impressed. Very impressed. This man can act.I also think Jocaquin Phoenix is an excellent actor. He plays a character that you just love to hate and he is really good at it too. If it comes down to talent, I must say Phoenix did a wonderful job and he is a much much better actor than his brother ever was. I think Hollywood should keep an eye on this man ~~ he is talented. Between the two of them, I can see why they took over the world by a storm. One classically noble and one pathologically weak. This is a movie between good and evil, for the greater cause and for love. Gladiator is a movie for both women and men ~~ it really shows humanity in its best and vilest forms. And the photography is just stunning. This is a movie that I highly recommend.

Summary: This was THE movie of 2000
Review: Gladiator was the BEST movie of 2000 by far!! Beautiful visuals, exciting action, great cinematography, standout score! Naturally a very predictable storyline, but the fact that you've seen so many movies from this genre and it still moves you speaks volumes!!

Summary: A ROUSING GOOD EPIC ADVENTUR
Review: When I first heard about this movie I became intrigued. Would the director do justice to the period? Wow!! He sure did. Would the actors do the job required to make the period come to life for us viewers? Mr. Crowe et.al. have surpassed my wildest dreams. As a student of ancient history I found very little to fault this movie on. The Carthage battle had female gladiators in it and that wouldn't have occured in Ancient Rome. Women never fought men. The second DVD is as good as the movie. The different subjects are very helpful to the novice. Since purchasing this DVD I have searched for earlier films with Russell Crowe. His earlier films are delightful and quirky. They won't let you down. All of the actors in this movie did outstanding work. This movie is definitely one you will watch over and over again.

Summary: Awesome!
Review: This is a truly awesome movie. From the dynamic beginning the surprising ending, this is a terrific movie all the way through. The main character, Maximus, leads his troops into battle in fantasticly setup and executed fight scene like no other I have seen (not even Braveheart). After he is betrayed, he ends up a Gladiator fighting from arena to arena until he finally gets back to Rome. Once in Rome, well, you'll just have to watch for yourself. This is one of the best movies I have seen and definitley the best of 2000. Get this movie.
