Not Ben-Hur or Spartacus

Forty years separate this movie from Ben-Hur and Spartacus. Forty years where technology improved while acting declined. And when you examine the technology, you realize that it is all noise and images as opposed to enhanced color and vibrant settings.

The story is somewhat fabricated. Russel Crowe appears pumped up into a mythic hero of sorts. Joaquin Phoenix looks the part of a demented Roman Emperor, but falls short in the portrayal.

With a cast of talented actors, it could have been a much better production. There are points of interest to make. Oliver Reed passed away before completion. You will notice some fast clips to compensate towards the end of the movie. His last word in the movie was a grunt. With Richard Harris portraying Caesar Marcus Aurelius, you get the feeling that you are witnessing a dying breed of Hollywood legends.

I waited fourteen years to watch this movie, and I think I need to go back to Ben-Hur. Low rated movies of that era look like gems to what gets passed off in the 2000's.Read full review...

THE MIGHTY GLADIATOR

The extended version of Gladiator is a lot better than the theatrical version. It is more thrilling, exciting, intense and graphic. I enjoyed this version. All the new scenes just added more to the story. This movie is Best Picture material (it won the Oscar for Best Picture). Ebert and Roeper should be ashamed of themselves giving a cinematic classic like this two thumbs down. When they do their work they call "reviews", they should asked themselves, "Am I not merciful?" Someone should asked Ebert & Roeper, "Are you not entertained?" People like me who don't like film critics were entertained by this movie. I can't wait to watch The Lord of the Rings: Special Extended Edition TrilogyRead full review...

An awesome movie for Roman history buffs!

The movie has excellent special effects concerning the time that it took place in the late 2nd century AD. The movie brings ancient Rome virtually back to life during the final days of the rule of Marcus Aurelius and the early days of the rule of Commodus.Read full review...

Gladiator

The casing was cracked but did not affect the picture. It probably was damaged during shipping. I liked the movie very well. I always liked this movie and now I have the freedom to watch it anytime I want to.Read full review...

GLADIATOR

This is a classic. The acting is powerful. It has appeal for both genders.
The movie draws on action, conflict, emotion and holds the viewers interest
from beginning to end. I bought it because, as many times as I've seen it,
it's one movie that belongs in everyone's collection!Read full review...
