Russell Crowe did a great job in this role. It is quite Hollywood but it's still fun to watch. "Are you not entertained?" I think is a great line and I hear it quoted once in a while, in a sarcastic way of course. This has the extended version which means a bit longer fight scenes if you're into that.Another epic movie and astounding performance by russel crowe, hats off to that guy - moviemonger
Gladiator is a genre of movie upon which Hollywood once used to build its reputation but rarely produces anymore: the spectacle. Filled with larger-than-life characters, gorgeous scenery, impressive set design, and epic storytelling. Perhaps Scott’s greatest achievement with Gladiator is neither keeping the pacing of a 2 1/2 hour movie tight nor choreographing a spectacular battle scene, but creating a second-century Rome that is entirely credible and stunning in its detail. Ancient Rome is one of the most romanticized civilizations in the history of humanity, and rarely has it been brought to life with the grandeur of this film. The Coliseum, for example, has been resurrected to its full glory (largely through the use of digital technology). Gladiator consistently looks good, although, during some of the fights, rapid cutting creates a sense of disorientation and confusion. Like many of the great Hollywood historical epics, Gladiator is the story of the triumph of a heroic figure over seemingly-insurmountable odds. In this case, he is a slave taking on the most powerful man in the world - the Emperor of Rome. Gladiator is designed not just to entertain, but to enthrall. It draws audiences in and immerses them in a reality that is not their ownExcellent - BluesHound
A great movie with Russell Crowe at his best. I find Crowe fits this kind of movie best as an actor. With great battle scenes it truly gives you a feeling of the whole era. From gladiators to the great colliseums that were filled with people looking for blood. The blu ray version looks wonderful and makes a great movie that much better.
