Gladiator

Pros: Fights
Cons: shitt

I have seen this movie twice now, and I have to admit going into it the second time I thought I wouldn't like it that much. However, by the first two scenes I was completely sucked in yet again.

The Story

Russell Crowe is Maximus,...

Pros: Great action, drama, Good performances.
Cons: A little too long

(Note. Possible spoilers contained) Ridley Scott's Gladiator is an example of what every summer movie should be, a well made epic adventure that pulls audiences in. With great performances, interesting characters and plenty of action, it's an ...

Pros: Thought evoking entertainment, strong acting, incredible landscapes
Cons: must pay attention to fully get the big picture, not a run to the bathroom movie

I went to see this movie because so many people had such a high opinion of it and I wanted to see if I agreed. Gladiator is one of the best epic films I have seen in a long time. Maximus is a good man with simple dreams who is doing what he has to for...

Pros: Digital effects, lavish set, nice plot twists
Cons: glossy, slo-mo fight scenes, repetition of pathos begging events

Let's go to the video tape (circa 180 AD): all the best decapitations and impalings are replayed in slow motion for you in Gladiator, Ridley Scott's hack at the sword and sandal epic.

Students of history will surely enjoy the digital...

Pros: Good Acting, Excellent Flow
Cons: Almost Forgot I had to go to the Bathroom I was so Captivated

I'd have to say, I feel like this is one of the movies I've been waiting on for a while. After seeing it a second time I can attest to the quality of the film-making. Although I've heard some complaining about the special effects, I think that they did...

Pros: Fantastic imagery, costumes & acting
Cons: Long (about 3 hrs), very graphic

Okay, I'm a woman and there was really only one reason I went to see Gladiator in the theater...okay, two. First, my husband made me. It was our first night out without the children in over a year. Second, have you ever seen Russell Crowe?!? But I...

Pros: Excellent acting, breathtaking effects, and a story that was original.
Cons: Predictable plot

Once and awhile their comes along a movie that is so powerful, so moving, and so exciting that you almost think it was written by the great Shakespeare himself. Yet the movie “Gladiator” is an original concept and storyline written by our modern day...

Pros: A MUST see! Best movie in 10 years.
Cons: Couldn't be much better if they tried.

I had heard so much regarding Gladiator. I had to break down and make time to view it. Since I'm particularly fond of the ancient Greece and Roman period and enjoyed all the classics in my youth. I was looking forward to the actual moment of being...

Pros: visually very nice, good attention to detail, Crowe is always good
Cons: Not high art

If you're looking for a thinking man's movie, this isn't it. The title should be enough to tell you that. But what it is, is a good, relatively straightforward revenge flick: Man rises to great heights, man is pushed to great lows, man rises to great...

Pros: Fantastic acting, great story and visuals, hardcore action.
Cons: Graphic scenes and violence may be inappropriate for young viewers.

Gladiator is a magnificant film directed by the brilliant Ridley Scott which takes us back to the ancient Roman times of ceasers and gladiators. The film stars academy award winner Russel Crowe (The Insider, LA Confidential, Proof of Life) as General...

Pros: Neat scenery, interesting plot
Cons: none that I can think of...

It's not too often I get to go see movies anymore, so it was quite the treat for me when my hubby agreed to go to a drive-in to see Gladiator and Mission Impossible 2. I had seen the previews for Gladiator, and honestly, I was interested, but it wasn't...

Pros: Good acting, realism and plot.
Cons:

Gladiator was an excellent movie. Good acting, realism, I considered it almost a perfect movie. I definately did not get bored. I went to see it in the theatres twice, it was that good! The main character moves from his ranks of a general in the armies...

Pros: Gladiator is one of the best movies ever produced.
Cons: none at all

Gladiator is truly a gem of a movie. I cannot think of anything that this movie is missing. It has incredible acting, incredible fight scenes, a great story, and incredible music This makes for one intense cinematic package. I think Russell Crowe...

Pros: A wonderful masterpiece perfectly done
Cons: None

I am a great fan of epics, and Gladiator now ranks up there with one of the best ever made. Russell Crowe, as Maximus, proves again that he is one of the most versatile actors in Hollywood.
The opening scene where Maximus prepares his...

Pros: Good Action
Cons: Nothing unique in story line

I went to this film expecting to see a re enactment of Ben Hur or Spartacus, not THE SPARTACUS, but something like Spartacus and the Slave Women. Fortunately I was quite taken by the film Gladiator. The story line isn't new, the old emperor dies, does...
