Rating:
Summary: YUMMY
Review: I have always been a big fan of all gladiator films, from Tyrone Powers to Richard Burton. Any actor donning the sandals and metal skirt has my attention. Russell Crowe's character took my breath away. His strength, power, and ruggedly good looks won me over. If your a fan of this genre, or just like to see guys wearing skirts. This movie is for you.

Summary: A grand, much-needed epic !
Review: This movie is simply awesome. And, it has not come a minute too soon. The ancient world is FULL of possiblities for stories like this (note, this is historical FICTION, not telling an actual event.) Great direction, sets, plot, dialogue, and acting. Oh, there is no "drag in some spots" that some reviewers have commented on. I guess in this generation no one is allowed to TALK for more than 20 seconds without it being deemed "wordy." Also, I noticed two errors in otherwise good reviews below: 1) Commodus did not "listen to his father's advisors" at first - he immediately concluded a shameful peace with the Germans and left to enjoy the debauched pleasures of Rome before his father was hardly cold. He was one of the very small group of emperors that nothing good can be said. 2) Rome didn't "fall due to greed and spectator sports" - the Roman Empire basically was mortally wounded by plague that depopulated huge areas of the empire, with the resulting economic and military downturns, and due to pressure from the nomadic barbarians and barbarization of the army. If the two great epidemics (one during Marcus Aurelius's time) hadn't happened, it is very possible today's major language would be based on Latin. Anyway, it's a GREAT movie - grab it. One should also check out that wonderful film, "Fall of the Roman Empire" which covers similar ground, but in a very different plotline - another great film, and Will Durant (the historian) was an advisor on it. And please disregard the numerous bad user reviews of this film, also. It's a very good movie.

Summary: A WONDERFUL MOVIE, REQUIRED VIEWING FOR ALL AGES
Review: Gladiator is a marvelous movie. It gives you a sense of what it may have been like during these Roman times. The story is, of course, fiction. Maximus, quite possibly the greatest character created for the big screen, was made up and history was "re-written" for the sake of telling this story. Ridley Scott has never denied that and has said that all along. That aside, this movie is a must for people of all ages to watch and enjoy. Movies like this are what get people excited for our world's history. You'll be looking up these characters in books and online after watching the actors give such great performances as them. I wish I could have seen this movie while in school. It may've peaked my interest more in History:)

Summary: Strength & Honor FOREVER !!!
Review: Russel Crowe and Ridley Scott prove beyond doubt that outstanding filmmaking is still all about masterful storytelling. The heroic tale of Maximus the general and gladiator keeps you spellbound from opening shot to the ending credits---thanks to the no-nonsense realism of Russel Crowe's portrayal , as well as the outstanding ---and sometimes scene stealing---performances by Joaquin Phoenix, Oliver Reed, and Richard Harris. Of course, the riveting visuals and perfect pacing of the film are all signature Ridley Scott and provide the story-telling with gritty, contemporary, and ---on occasion---ethereal qualities. Who would think that the sandals-and-toga genre would be this captivating ? Gladiator is an outstanding movie and certainly headed for hall-of-fame status. Perfect from all angles and so timely in its universal themes of heroism, strength, honor, and character. It is a must-see for all, a must-die-for-to-collect for all great film afficionados. Strength & Honor forever!!!

Summary: one heck of a battle!
Review: We all know Russell Crowe rocks in this film, but let's give Joaquin Phoenix his dues! Without him as the antagonist you love to hate, this film wouldve had to survive solely on the merits of the fight scenes. I love a good villian I can't stand. This up and coming actor plays this character to the hilt, even calling up a few tears to make you want to slap him for being such a sissy cry-baby! The opening battle sequence I would have to liken to the opening of Saving Private Ryan (not quite as intense, but darn close and as bloody). Russel Crowe's intense emotional potrayal of Maximus is worthy of 5 stars alone! There was only one mistake in the whole film (which I won't give away here)but overall, it was the kind of movie that makes you want to rush out and buy as soon as it becomes available!
