Summary: A hard hitting boxing drama with great characters and action
Review: A terrific movie about underground boxing, teenagers caught in the web of a viscious promoter and the ultimate triumph of friendship. There was humor and great action to go with a compelling story. I loved it.

Summary: Good fun boxing movie..
Review: After seeing some of the reviews, I decided to go ahead and buy this movie as well. I was very pleased and enjoyed the movie. It's nothing serious like the first two Rocky movies, but light hearted action fun. It pretty quick paced so you don't get bored. I'd compare it more to being similar to Rocky IV in terms of pacing. The story is simple enough about a young, white boxer who, through a turn of bad luck, finds himself in the poorhouse and has to box to settle his dad's gambling debts. The acting is believable unlike the recent Star Wars Attack of the Clones fiasco. Cuba Gooding and James Marshall both put in great performances. The boxing, although a little over the top sometimes,is still great to see although I'd like to have seen longer training sequences. The quality of the dvd picture is great as well. What they don't mention on Amazon's techincal data is that the dvd has both a widescreen and standard full format presentation on either side of the disc so you can watch the movie whatever way you want. I'd definitely recommend this disc for the boxing movie enthusiast.

Summary: Well Written
Review: Certainly, this movie is not up with Rocky and other great boxing movies, but if you look deep into this movie as you're watching it; it takes on more meaning. The characters in this movie were decent but nto great. This movie reminded me of Rocky V, but don't get me wrong; it's nothing liek it. This movie had drama, action, and some world issues in it. To make a long story short I think this movie is worth renting so check it out.

Summary: great boxing film!!!!
Review: The best boxing film out today by far, outshines the Rocky films, due to if you have seen the first rocky, you have seen them all. 'Gladiator' is a refreshing story line and has some great performances.
GREAT!

Summary: True Gladiator
Review: The first real GLADIATOR, its a shame Ridley Scott's movie took the same name. An incredible adventure of emotion and excitement, wrapped in a great story line and excellent acting- All based in today's real world. I bought the VHS after the movie was released way back when- I have seen it so many times the tape is worn and I have to buy the DVD! You can't go wrong here!

Summary: The first real hit called gladiator
Review: This film is as good if not better than the latest film of the same name. It does not depend on special effects (in the form of a fat budget) to keep you interested, I just cannot stop whatching it, I must have seen it over 50 times. It is with out a doubt one of those films you can whatch over and over (like "Starwars"). Everyone I know who has seen it has gone out and bought it. The story line and the acting are excellent, they really hit the nail on the head with the realism.
