Summary: One great movie ... but ...
Review: This movies is just great. The acting is super, the sound and grpahics effects makes this movie one of the top. One simple stupid thing I've noticed, is the 'weird' idea of a brother making out with his own sister ! This is simply stupid, and I see no need to add it to this great film.

Summary: Gladiator
Review: I think that this was the movie of the year. I thought the cinematography was outstanding and probable the best that I have ever seen. I would recommend this movie to anyone and every one that can get into and see 'R' rated movies. It is not intended for children and should not been seen by them until ready for a mature flick.

Summary: Modern Day Spectacle
Review: This film reminds me of the huge production films of the 50s and 60s. Similar to Spartacus in scope. This is the best movie I have seen in years. What puts it a notch above is that it doesn't rely so heavily on the special effects to carry it. The effects add to the story instead. The acting is first rate. Crowe should get an Oscar for this one. Richard Harris makes a great king and soldier mentor. Oliver Reed is a very good mentor for his gladiator training. The kings distaste for his son Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix) is well founded. He wishes his daughter Lucilla (Connie Nielsen) was a son so she could rule, but decides that his general, Maximus, (Crowe) is the answer for his succession. Commodus is everything we love to hate as he does everything and anything to see that he will be the successor. Don't miss this movie, the acting, story, sound, sets, FX, and music are all first rate. If you didn't catch this at the theater you missed an excellent big screen movie. Catch it on DVD when it releases, and if at all possible on a big screen. I'm sure it will lose some of the grandeur on the little screen, but it is a spectacular film on any screen.

Summary: Hmmmm....havent I seen this before.......?
Review: Although this movie was a true stunning piece of work, I couldn't help but notice a few stolen scenes. For example in Saving Private Ryan, When Matt Damond asked Tom Hanks about fond memories about his wife Tom replied with "No, no those are for me". Therefore showing no interest of sharing his memories. A very similar, almost identical scene was apparent in gladiator. And the biggest, most brazen attempt at theft was given to the scene where (in very same context) the food was tested before eaten. Ahem...GodFather ring a bell? I do love this movie, but it "borrowed a lil to much for me. But the most fatal flaw of the movie had to be the ending. We were lured into believing Rome would be stormed by a mass army, and justified all the cruel rulings of the kingdom. Well, all was lost. I think we deserved a spectacular ending. We definitely deserved it.

Summary: Gladiator
Review: A friend ask me if the movie was bloody - duh its about Gladiators, but I assured him that it was less bloody then say the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.The movie itself was predictable but the story was still great! Just think if this really happened! I never heard of Crowe, I'm not much into actors, but he was great! Maximus, (Crowe) was a guy that was quite likable. A man who did his duty to his country (Empire) and the hardships and challenges he had to face were incredible. And his rewards, well you just have to see this movie.... Its rare these days to see a movie without foul language, HollyWood keep movies like these coming!

Summary: The best of 2000 BY FAR
Review: When I first saw what all was in production for 2000, I thought it was going to be a very slow year for movies. Then I saw a preview for a movie called Gladiator, and I remember thinking "Wow that loos really cool". That was not the end of it, however. I went and saw the movie when it first came out. After the movie was over I was totally shocked by how awesome it was. The special effects were 5 stars, the set designs were 5 stars, the acting was 20 stars. Everything about this movie envokes every possible emotion that humans can feel. This movie is the up in the epic range that Braveheart is in. GO SEE IT IF YOU HAVEN'T YET.

Summary: Strength and Honor!
Review: An outstanding portrayal of the barbaric customs of the Romans! From the opening battle scene to the climactic duel in the end, you're on the edge of your seat! Nonstop intense action and excellent acting make this movie a top-5 for me and my dad. A clear line is shown between just plain revenge and duty to country- going along with a dethroned General's motto: strength and honor. A classic, good guy vs. bad guy movie where the protagonist is someone to look up to, someone with leadership qualities. A hand also for Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard, who did the score for this film! Bravisimo!

Summary: Hands down the best movie ever made!
Review: Gladiator was a movie for all generations. It had great music, story, action, and drama. The acting was magnificent and it all wrapped together so well! I would see it again and again! The only problem is, I can't wait until it comes out on DVD!
