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. ...

...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

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.

a duma classic remade for hollywood
Advantages: good cast and sets retains core ideas of the book
Disadvantages: cant think of any
...thankfully this film does do the book justice and this too is one of my favourite films. it captures the main themes of betrayal and revenge well from the dumas classic but is not completely faithful to the book. this is excusable as anyone who has read the book will know that it is very long far to drawn out for a movie. the added scenes do keep with the story and it is very clever the way they have invented these scenes whilst remaining true to ...
