Rating: Summary: Gladiator Review: A spectacular, brilliant movie, Gladiator is certainly my favorite of the year. Surprisingly deep for a supposedly action movie, it can easily be put in the drama section as well as the action one. Russell Crowe puts in a fine performance as a Roman general out for revenge, and Joaquin Phoenix surprisingly brings a complicated and human side to his villain Commodus. Crowe may have given his role power and heroism, but Phoenix certainly gave his depth and charisma. Aside from the two leading actors, however, the movie itself was surprisingly close to history. Though an improbable story, it was certainly a possible one; and it certainly brings back memories of a by-gone movie era. The epic picture may not yet be gone from the movie industry. A job well done by Ridley Scott!
Rating: Summary: Greatest Action of the Year Review: When i first was going to see this movie I thought it would be kind of corny. But when I saw it, it was the best action movie I've ever seen. It's got all the action of Brave Heart and a great plot. Plus some great special Effects
Rating: Summary: Incredible Movie Review: The new movie, Gladiator, is sure to win everyone's heart, whether male or female. There is something for everyone. For the men, there is of course the blood of the coliseum, and for the women, there's the wonderful, new(to some), actor named Russell Crowe, who is sure to win many hearts as he braves the challenges that lay before him. Gladiator is a great movie, recommended to all! My favorite!
Rating: Summary: Real Passion Review: Gladiator Rocked! This movie grabbed me from the very get-go. The scenery was superb, especially shots of Rome and the Coliseum. Russel Crowe gave me goosebumps with the passion he had in both the fighting scenes and also through the death of Caesar and his family. This film gave me inspiration to be a better person, a leader, and stand up for what is right. I saw this movie 3 times! Twice in Dallas and once when I was on vacation in Dublin, Ireland. It never failed to move me.
Rating: Summary: The ressurection of the epic movies Review: For such a long time, the roman empire kept off the silver screens. But it returns in a majestic way. This huge producton is one of the best movies of the year, with espectacular sets, a wonderful plot, amazing visual effects and a Russel Crowe like we've never seen before. Who would imagine Russle Crowe as a gladiator? Ridley Scott adds another great movie to his sucesseful career. Gladiator is also one of the possible nominations for the oscars of best suporting actor (Oliver Reed) ,for example. I'm not making publicity but, if you can, buy it! Buy it now!
Rating: Summary: Ave Ridley Scottus! Review: Ridley Scott is back to business with this great movie. He succeeded in a very tricky business: bring back to life a dead 'genre'. Russell Crowe is convincing as the tired hero forced to become a legend. Miles ahead of Mel Gibson's performance in Patriot (or should I say Braveheart II - the return) Fantastic score by Hans Zimmer which confirms his supremacy as contemporary composer. The DVD offers a lot of bonus material. I'm disappointed as a french speaking person buying from Amazon that it offers no other soundtrack. I thought Quebec was next door?
Rating: Summary: Gladiator Review: I went to see the movie and did not expect that much, because such a hipe was made around the movie. Well after seeing what i saw, I thought that it was excellent. I go to the movies about every week-end and watch a lot of movies. But by far gladiator seemed to be in a league of it's own, don't get me wrong I thought Braveheart was the best movie ever made, but after seeing Gladiator I beg to disagree. And I think for a long time the same with Braveheart, there will not be a movie topping Gladiator, even for the next decade, that's my personal opinion of the movie. So in closing the person that has not seen the movie do yourself a favour rent it, buy it or even borrow it if you canbut make a plan to see this excellent movie.
Rating: Summary: Gladiator Stands Alone Review: Of any movie I have seen, this movie makes you root for the good guy and hope the bad guy bites it more than any other movie. The dipiction of the Roman Empire at that time is exquisite and nowhere else will you see a combination of action and diologue that fit the bill.
Rating: Summary: really good movie Review: this movie was incredible. great action. very realistic. liked it as much as braveheart
Rating: Summary: Excellence Review: A superb and convincing acting job by Russel Crowe, well detailed and executed action sequences along with a strong plot and story created an emotional movie succeding that of Titanic and Armageddon combined helped produce the correct recipe for the best movie of the year. A great movie to see whether it is your 4th time or first. (Important note: If you have not seen gladiator yet, GO SEE IT A.S.A.P.)
