Summary: Gladiator
Review: This movie is a perfect example of what Hollywood can do with a excellent lead man and a great director. The movie Gladiator is the best movie I have seen in years and possibly the best i've ever seen. The storyline and beautiful scenery will capture you and hold you for the duration. The soundtrack is also second to none and veteran actors Richard Harris and Oliver Reed only add to the richness of this epic. A must see.

Summary: Unbelievable!
Review: I can't remember the time both my girlfriend and I walked out of the cinema saying "superb". What a great film, casting, acting, effects, story all excellent.The effects are just superb, but in creating reality rather than fantasy. The gore is quite horrific at times and I can't believe the UK rating of 15, but hey, that doesn't bother me. From the visual recreation of ancient Rome to the gruesome fight scenes, the effects are incredible but look so real. But this is not just a boy's action movie, there's enough in all departments for all to enjoy. And, thank heavens, the film resists the temptation to slip into cheesy American cliches. I had no idea who directed it but when watching was thinking it HAD to be a British director and sure enough Ridley Scott. Had Speilberg or Lucas done it then I'm sure the Stars & Strips would have got in somewhere or America would have somehow taken credit for Roman civilisation. Only 2 (very minor) criticisms; although the soundtrack is good, it lacked a memorably moving score such as in Last of the Mohicans, Deer Hunter or Once Upon a Time in America and I think Commodus was not enough of an Iago, a young Alan Rickman would have been far more evil. Go and see it, and buy it on DVD as soon as it comes out - I will.

Summary: An Awesome movie!
Review: Wow! From beginning to end, Gladiator kept me on the edge of my seat. Great plot, and a good job showing how powerful Rome was. The battle scenes were incredible. It was interesting to see what a Gladiator's life was like. Russell Crowe should get an Oscar for this.

Summary: Excellent movie
Review: This was an excellent movie. It is true that the plot seems slow moving at times, but the special effects are incredible, and it was cool to see a portrayal of a primitive, yet complex society. Pros: •This movie rocks
•Excellent fight scenes Cons: •Not enough blood
•The plot was slow and the dialogue was minimal Even though the dialogue was lacking, my favorite part is where Commodus says, "It vexes me. I'm terribly vexed."

Summary: Gladiator is a Triumph
Review: I have seen this film 9 times already and be sure I am going again tomorrow. Crowe (The Insider) continues to keep getting better and better, truely Oscar worthy in this film. Ridley Scott (Legend)has brought a grace and dignity back to the film industry. This movie is the best of Braveheart and 13th Warrior. Filmed in Malta, Italy, Morocco, and England, it can boast to some of the most breathtaking cinematography as well as an epic story with a hero for all ages. And don't let Jaoquin Phoenix (To Die For) who plays the tragic and melodramatic young emperor go unnoticed. While you may not like the character, there is something appealing about a villan played well. Connie Neilsen is simply put, a goddess. Oliver Reed, Djimon Hounsou (forgive spelling) and Richard Harris (Patriot Games) all give marvellous supporting characters. This film is alive.

Summary: Only 3 words about the movie: OH MY GOD.
Review: Finally a movie that really rocks. A movie that makes you feel "strength and honor" when you leave the theatre. 100% tetosterone. Definitively, a new classic. Expect to see cool Russell Crowe in your next action hero blockbuster. Fortunately!!

Summary: Good, but not enough...
Review: It's a kind of "deja vu" ! Did you ever seen Spartacus ? no ? you got to do so. This Scott's movie is a visualy pretty one, just that, caus it has a big lack : the script. The story il very usual, very stereotyped. Boring sometimes. The politically correct is everywhere. A spectacular movie without a soul.

Summary: It`s My New Favorite Movie
Review: I took my family to see it ( it was my dad`s birthday ), and to say the least we LOVED it. We could`nt stop talking about it afterwards. I have recommended it to alot of my friends, and I would pay to see it again. I think Crowe did a wonderful job, he definitely fits the part, as well as his co-stars!!! I just can`t wait `till it comes out on video. I don`t mean to give away the ending for those who have`nt seen it yet, but when he dies in the end, I was happy for him because he got to be with his wife and son again. Even though it`s "just a movie" I got attached to the characters, ecspecialy Russell Crowe. It`s my new favorite movie!!! And think I can say that for my whole family (consisting of two teenage brothers, a mother, and father who Love action movies).

Summary: 2000's Movie of the year
Review: One of this year's best pictures. Equal in every aspect to Ben-Hur. Should see quite a few nominations at the Oscar's if Hollywood is on the ball. Russell Crowe is awsome. Best picture he's made so far.
