Modern classic.

Advantages: Rousing action sequences, excellent acting, beautiful score, fast paced, gorgeous cineamtography.
Disadvantages: Graphic violence may put some off.

...to old school swords-and-sandals flicks. Gladiator is one of those rare films where all the relevant boxes are ticked: riveting action sequences, strong lead, slimy villain, wonderful supporting cast, classy period detail, gorgeous cinematography, perfect SFX, moving score and just a downright thrilling tale of a man wronged. Russell Crowe is tremendous in the role and it has rightfully made him one of cinema's biggest stars and the late Richard ...
...Ridley Scott is a master of visuals and here was the perfect opportunity in recreating a new (old) world - much in the way he does with Blade Runner he fills the screen with details that demand repeat viewings. Meanwhile the script is a surprisingly moving tale which makes the revenge all the more sweet. A modern classic. ...

Goodfellas - You Had Better Read This Review or Else!!

Advantages: Gripping gangster movie with talented acting cast.
Disadvantages: A bit gory and too much swearing! (This is forgiven though, because that is how it was)

Goodfellas ***What's it about?*** This is a film made in 1991 and is based upon Henry Hill (played by Ray Liotta) and his life as a gangster for the mob in New York (directed by Martin Scorsese). The film opens with a truly gruesome scene and it doesn't get much better. The story follows Henry's journey as he starts out as a young kid (played by Christopher Serrone) observing how the mafia operate, to becoming truly assimilated within the whole mafia ...
...The film is narrated in part by Ray Liotta, explaining as his life progressed and he became entangled with the 'family'. It depicts his swift rise within the organisation from running errands to becoming a major player; earning his living through extortion and racketeering. It explores his role and that of other 'wise guys' he is befriended by. It has a fine cast including Robert De Niro, Jo Pesci (who won an Oscar for best supporting actor) and ...

~ What We Do In Life Echoes In Eternity ~

Advantages: Captivating Story, Amazing special effects, Great acting.
Disadvantages: Quite long for those who get bored.

...In Eternity ~ Gladiator is my all time favourite film so I thought id do a review would be a good idea. I first saw the film when my mum rented it when it came out at the video shops. As I was only 12 nearly 13 when the film was released in the cinemas I couldn't go as it is a 15. I think I have seen the film about 20 times now as I have it on DVD and I never get bored of watching it. It is a very long film but this doesn't put me off watching it ...

Simply Brilliant- must watch

Advantages: sound, visual aspects, storyline
Disadvantages: i cant not fault any aspect of the film

Russel Crowe in this film was brilliant from start to finish. I could watch this film over and over again and i would be on the edge of my seat everytime. We follow Maximus (Russel Crowe) a previous general in the Roman army plotting his revenge over the new emperor Commodius (Jaoquin Phoenix) for attempting to murder the general and for being murderer of his wife and son. close to death Maximus make every minute of every day a quest to revenge ...
