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.

Summary: Exceeding expectations and DTS reference quality
Review: My wife has a built in prejudice against what she calls "costume drama" movies and with films that might have too much violence in it, so in her book, this film had two preconceived strikes against it. But surprise, surprise, the story was engrossing enuff that she got caught up in it and really liked it. It also exceeded my expectations - who knew a summer blockbuster could have so much depth to it? On the technical side, if you have a decent home theater set up, the DTS soundtrack on this is truely awesome and worth the price of admission. Near the beginning of the film, some soldiers take Russell Crowe out into the woods to kill him. He grabs a sword and gets out their grasp and is hiding offscreen behind a tree. When he throws the sword at the soldier that you see on screen, the sound of the sword whirring thru the air almost makes you duck as it comes from the rear right surround and crosses to the front right to the center channel and into the soldiers chest. Wow.

Summary: Awesome movie and cool extra stuff
Review: The movie itself is great. I like this DVD version because it comes with the extra stuff -- historical background about gladiators, how the movie was made, etc. I think it's definitely worth owning.
