Best movie of this year hands down!
Waste of time
Great Film overall
Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
Such an amazing accomplishment from one of the great directors.You just can't beat the very first colosseum fight and the reveal!
An entertaining epic epic tail with some interesting historic details. Loved it. A must-see for every kind of film enthusiasts.
Gladiator is just greatness...normally I can think of a way a movie can be improved....well with a 10/10...nope. Its so good. Russell Crowe is amazing. Caesar is a good villain too. The movie moves you....and that ending ....so sad yet satisfying. A true classic and the best ancient based movie to date I thnk
Russell did an amazing job playing as someone who cares for his family and Ridley did an magnificent job doing all the recreation and it shows that no one can ever hold the truth like Joaquin did in the movie that he killed his father instead of maximus
