Summary: Amazing
Review: This was one of the best movies I have ever seen (on par if not better than Braveheart). The blend of plot, action, drama, and special effects was perfect and Russell Crow was amazing, the ultimate hero/champion.

Summary: Very Accurate!
Review: This movie was very accurate according to Roman history and the Latin language. For example, they used the name Germania during the beginning of the movie. In Latin, it is translated to Germany. The movie also had the tiger gladiator from Gaul. Gaul is the ancient name for France. The movie was exciting and fun to watch. The acting was great and the special effects of Rome were amazing.

Summary: The meaning of greatness
Review: Just a word: Greatness. There a scene where the emperor wonders what was so great about a battle that's going to be recreated in the arena for his entertaintment, what's so great about these gladiators. Never before have I seen the meaning of the word to graphically displayed, leaving all without doubt. When in its presence, no explanations are required. That is greatness. Enjoy! I can't wait for my DVD!

Summary: Well hard!
Review: I've always been a fan of the 'sword and sandal' epics of the '60s (Ben Hur, Spartacus, etc) and I was thrilled to see the genre brought up to date with 'Gladiator'. I don't think Gladiator can fairly be compared to the old classics though, as some have done; different directing methods, cinematography, and other aspects make it difficult. 'Gladiator' is an outstanding film in its own right. The visuals go a long way towards giving us some idea of what ancient Rome really looked like; I especially revelled in the overhead shots of the city and the Coliseum. The set pieces, the battle in Germania, all the fights in the arena are extremely well done and realistic. The attention to detail was amazing. But the thng that makes the movie shine is Russell Crowe's portrayal of a man who has lost everything, and will risk all that he has left, for revenge. A simple story really, but Crowe as Maximus gives the character a lot of depth and I found his character inspiring. Leaders like Maximus are few and far between, and not always appreciated by those they serve. A man like Maximus inspires others to great things and helps raise them up. I'd follow him to hell and back! The other supporting cast is also great. Joaquin Phoenix does a fine job as the evil Commodus. Sure, Commodus a lunatic, but in the opening scenes with Emperor Claudius, at least you can see where he's coming from. Oliver Reed is great in his last performance, and the actor who plays Maximus' African friend (can't recall his name) ads a poignant touch (I especially liked his last scene in the Coliseum at the end, when he buries the dolls of Maximus' family in the earth of the Coliseum). Scenes like that, and others; the scenes with Maximus walking through the wheatfields, the German barbarians screaming their defiance, Maximus and his men refusing to die in the arena, make this movie a real blockbuster.
Rating:
Summary: None other can compare.
Review: This movie had it all. It touched the part deep inside of all men that wants to die valantly. Maximus fights with courage and purpose.
