I heard that this was to be one of the greatest movies ever made in history. I rented it and saw it, I was bored through the first 20 minutes, and after that had some very shaky camera scenes where you... Full review

Gladiator is one of the best action movies out there. Russell Crowe is the perfect choice for the role. There should be more movies like this and less movies like the ones that are made now.... Full review

i think this film is unique and is very sad which a lot of films just arent. It is very graphic in parts but not badly graphic so it is alright. It is like a modern ben hur and in my... Full review

in this movie, but that is what makes it so great. This is the best 'guy' movie ever. The action sequences are excellent, the costumes and props incredibly accurate, and the final fight scene between Comodus (the perfectly-cast Joaquin Phoenix), and... Full review

This move has something for everyone. There is action, betrayal, love, friendship, loss and revenge all wrapped up in an acient Roman time for those who seek history. Crowe plays the part perfect and avenges his loss without prejudice while winning... Full review

When this movie comes on TV I have to watch it. The acting and cinematography are fantastic. Probably the best performance was from Joaquin Phoenix as Emperor Commodus, but Russell Crowe is not far behind as Maximus. It’s a guy flick... Full review

Russell Crowe gives arguably his best performance as Maximus, a Roman General, who is betrayed by his Emperor's son played by Joaquin Phoenix. He seeks revenge for the murder of his family and does so by becoming a slave and entering... Full review

With a plot the laughability of a Airpane! remake,Fladiator starts out with mediocrity and coldness to end up being an over-the-top drama about freedom...Nothing in this film is original,from the "Braveheart"-like dialogues to the "Spartacus"-like action scenes.The actors accomplish quite a...

Many movies after Gladiator tried and failed to create....there are few movies worthy of the title of visual tour de force....That sort of process usually results in a miserable movie....What few people are aware of is the battle that raged across three continents between the filmmakers as they struggled to finish the script....some might claim could be done better with more computer effects.... ...

A fine modern epic, 'Gladiator' is quite a psychological tale....Russell Crowe puts in a worthy Oscar-winning performance combining machismo and sensitivity, a la Kirk Douglas.... ... Full Review

His Maximus is a genuinely heroic character, something that is essential for the film to succeed at the top of our expectations. But the single most crucial element in Gladiator's favour is its script, which is driven by the belief that positive human values are worth living and dying for. ... Full Review

A heaving, manly throwback to the great Roman epics of yesteryear, director Ridley Scott's "Gladiator" looks well-armed to impale its summer competition with a smart blend of classic heroism and intelligent drama. It is to the credit of Scott and the film's screenwriters--including David Franzoni, John Logan and the great William Nicholson--that "Gladiator" does justice to its predecessors, while also redefining and refining the genre for modern audiences. ...

The performances are powerful.....The most noticeable feature of Gladiator is its sheer size and majesty.....Scott's ability to bring powerful images across on the screen is uncanny....Raising the bar for film villains, Phoenix does an admirable job..... ... Full Review
