Gladiator (2000)
Maximus is a powerful Roman general, loved by the people and the aging Emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Before his death, the Emperor chooses Maximus to be his heir over his own son, Commodus, and a power struggle leaves Maximus and his family condemned to death.

(after repeat viewings) I'm not ashamed to admit this used to be my favourite film back when I was 12; Watching it now, I have a beef with its rather pompous attitude. Mostly a spectacle for the eyes and ears. The acting, however, is formidable, notably Phoenix, you beard growing lunatic. Not the best film ever made but hard to dislike because it looks and feels so great.

As subtle as Hannibal marching his elephants down the mountainside Gladiator is an old fashion, larger than life epic mainly carried by the synergy between Scott's aestetics and Zimmer's orchestration.

Romans = Americans. Blew your mind then didn't I? Both distract people from scrutinising their government hijinks with pointless contact sports and lions eating people if they step off the field. Their uncannily similar accents also tipped me off.

I personally loved this movie. The score is really amazing, as is the cinematography, like the rest of Scotts better works. Good performances from Crowe and Phoenix, with some decent supporting cast. The story had me engaged as did the production and the directing. Again, another well-made movie by Ridley Scott.

I know it's clichéd, I know it's a little overrated but all I could think while watching Gladiator was that it's one damn fine film. The scenery and visuals are top notch, as you'd expect, but the film also has some excellent action and a cast of actors that work surprisingly well. Nobody is going to say that it's an accuate account of Rome, after all Hollywood is remown for it's factual errors, but when it provides much entertainment and unlocks the potential of a setting, it's easily forgiven.

Ridley is kicking back on his sofa, lazily flipping through channels with his remote control. He stumbles upon 'Airplane'. A little kid has been invited to the cockpit. The captain asks him 'Joey.. do you like movies about gladiators?'. Scott's eyes flicker ever so slightly: 'Hmmmmmm...'

Better than I remembered. The politics aren't remotely complex, but they're also not stuffy, because of the interesting characters and performances driving them (despite the fact that Maximus is pretty much the badass analog of a Mary Sue). Joaquin Phoenix in particular is excellent; his performance isn't camp so much as willing melodrama, which, given the material, feels prudent. And of course, the production values and battle scenes are beyond reproach.

A visually stunning film with great direction by Scott and impressive action sequences. It's also backed up with a good cast; Phoenix and Harris stand out among other good performances. Even so, can you not predict pretty much everything that will happen after about 20 minutes? It's too much the standard Hollywood-fare. Certainly good, but still a bit overrated. A focused and engaging story which is well paced makes this one of the better Hollywood blockbusters.

I really can't find any glaring faults here. It's a classic-feeling story, and it's fun, too. Everyone here was feeling it. 20 years from now, this'll be referred to as an important epic, and for good reason.

Gorgeous with great battle scenes. Scott did a good job of creating the atmosphere at the time. There are some magnificent moments in the film, except I hate theway Scott decided to go with the ending, pretty over the top.
I still like this film though, it's watchable and entertaining.

Not very believable performances from anyone... and I don't mean historically believable (because who cares, really?), I simply didn't buy the caricaturized villains and heroes. No one is as evil as Commodus, no one is as good and honorable as Maximus. That's the biggest flaw, but it is an enjoyable film overall. The battle sequences were (ironically?) pretty entertaining when you could see them through the shaky cam.

Gladiator is one of the best movies I have ever seen. As far as keeping the audience involved and interested it couldn't have done a better job. Full of gory, action packed scenes it managed to have a great storyline as well, making it a worthwhile movie. It also showed what another society was like that many people don't know much about. Gladiator is one of the all time greats and is a must see for every movie lover.

heavily overrated, which doesn't mean it's a bad film. then again, with ridley at the helm (along with the reputation of this film) i was expecting more... the lack of any sort of gray area can be trying; maximus is a model citizen who is endlessly wronged, and commodus is a incestuous asshole who is wholly evil. three cheers for multifaceted characters!

Marked the glorious return of the historical epic! A captivating story of vengeance for his murdered family powers Russell Crowe's Oscar winning performance and the visual recreation of Rome is one of cinema's finest hours. Crowe is the Spaniard, a former General who was betrayed by the son of the dying Caesar and is captured attempting to save his family. The Gladiator games that he must compete in are devastating in their realism and the music and cinematography are the stuff of modern legend.

Most amazing movie i have seen in my avid movie-goer lifetime. Lots of action, sensible romance, and suspensful plot twists each appeal to each viewer. Absolutely no disappointment and will leave your mind in a state of perpetual amazement. Russel Crowe is a perfect fit for the role of Maximus, a fallen general in ancient Roman times winds up as a slave. He fights his way through the coliseum preaching teamwork to the fellow gladiators to over come the ancient ways to bring back the republic.

Overrated but entertaining nonetheless. Shouldn't have gotten the accolades it received but that is just the state of the academy nowadays. A bit long, but the fight scenes are pretty cool and worth it. Joaquin Phoenix does the best job in the movie you really feel slimy when his character is on screen.

Is it on the same level as Ben Hur or Sparticus? Maybe not, but this film is still a true epic. The action is incredible, the story is spectacular and captivating, and Russel Crowe really gets to bust heads the way he is meant to: with intense gusto while being applauded! It's destined to be one of the better films of the new millenium. Awesome!

Pompous, bland and full of corny shots and dialog...some of which actually work...some. not a whole lot. The goodness lies within its incredibly satisfying violence, the state of the art set and costume design, the great sfx, scott's experienced direction and joaquin phoenix's powerhouse performance.

"Gladiator" is compelling, old-fashioned spectacle -the production values are to be admired (everything from the rousing score to the stunning cinematography is pitch-perfect) and Scott's direction of the combat scenes is masterful. Unfortunately, the glorious battles are interrupted by plot (?) and some very clunky dialogue only made worse by wooden acting (with the exception of an amazing Joaquin Phoenix). Why can't Hollywood produce an unpredictable storyline and a convincing protagonist?

Ridley Scott tries roman epic flick and succeeds on most levels, gets lucky on some. Boy was that soundtrack great! Damn, where the action and the Colosseum sequences bad ass! Holy cow did the whole cast fit perfectly in their roles! Tho the script was a tad campy at times and the directing bland and standard ( with some cgi even! Boo1 Couldn't you at least used a model Mr. Scott?) , it is still an amazing flick. Second best epic. Right behind Braveheart,

Gladiator isn't anything special or unique, but what it does bring to the table is all well-done. There's not much wrong with it, even if its lead character seems far too unlikely to die, meaning that there's little-to-no tension during the often boring action scenes. But it sets a great mood and has a solid plot, which makes it a worthwhile watch, even if I don't think it was worthy of the 2000 Oscar for Best Picture.

I'm pretty sure my score for Gladiator would drop by 20 points if it weren't for the effect the music has on me. It turns some otherwise cheesy moments into pure bliss.

I honestly don't know how I managed to avoid this movie for so long. What seperates it from other epics in the same genre such as "Troy" is that this is throughoutly engaging and very intense and whereas it seems major actors usually have a tendency to mail it in when it comes to these kinds of films, Russel Crowe delivers a stand-out performance here. It would be unfair to say the other actors don't deliver though as the movie is generally really well cast and overall a great movie from Scott.

A wonderful spectacle, from start to finish, with performances to match. In roles absolutely tailor made for Crowe, Phoenix, Neilson and Reed, Gladiator has both the emotional content and the thrills to draw the viewer into the story. If a measure of the success of a film is based on whether it has an absolutely iconic movie moment in it, then Maximus' speech to the Emperor Commodus is it, not only in Crowes delivery, but the fantastic way Pheonix receives it. Special effects are simply amazing.

Every time I think about this film, I think to myself: Hm, it's such a formulaic film - why do I like it so? I guess it's executed perfectly. The story is a retread of familiar themes, but Crowe is charismatic and moving as the underdog, Joaquin Phoenix equally pathetic and antagonistic in his own.

The opening battle sequence is just perfect, a directorial triumph, and the remaining fights are also good. On the other hand, the cast (except Phoenix) is indifferent, the music is inspired but cheesy, the buildings feel plastic, the most sentimentally charged scenes are too poetic to touch you. But above all, something just feels off: everything is too well-designed - they've worked really hard to make it spectacular that you hardly find any real feeling.

Gladiator is an epic experience in every sense of the word. Ridley Scott both masterfully & remarkably turns his filmmaking talents to yet another genre and Gladiator worthily ranks alongside his finest work. Visually this is complete escapism and the stunning cinematography & Hans Zimmer's rousing score collaborate perfectly to create several staggeringly impressive set pieces. Whilst Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, Djimon Honsou, Oliver Reed & Richard Harris make-up a remarkably stellar cast.

Scott's epic spectacle has a simple but wonderfully executed story, even in spite of the overly romanticized finale, and the action scenes, on the battlefield and in the arena, are nothing short of masterful. Crowe's on fine form as Maximus but Phoenix steals the film with the finest performance of this early career. The music is stirring and the costumes and sets gloriously detailed, making this vision of Ancient Rome feel uncommonly authentic.

The history and politics are ridiculous but who cares, it's a fable. Pure heroic spectacle from start to finish with brutal action, shouting drama, huge score and epic storytelling. At the end I couldn't quite tell what all of it was about exactly but darn if it wasn't impressive. Yes the plot is quite underwhelming but the real story is in the chest-pounding action, sweeping spectacle and overall operatic histrionics.

I feel bad for disliking this, since clearly some effort went into it (and it's considered a classic). But I hated everything about it. Hated how it beats you over the head with "This is an IMPORTANT FILM about VENGEANCE and FREEDOM and BEING A MAN", hated the incoherent action scenes, hated the predictable script, hated the color palette, hated Russell Crowe.

One of my most favorite films for all times. A highly respected general of the Roman Empire is stripped of his livelihood and family, when the son of the recently deceased Emperor decides that he is a threat to his leadership. Enslaved and forced to join the gladiator circuit and fight for survival, it isn't long before the fallen man discovers a way to return to Rome and face the man who ruined his life.

I know this is really low compared to most people but I could not get over the Australian accented Roman in Spain which did not actually exist at that time. The movie felt so modern and I did not ever feel like it was in the past - it felt more like a fantasy realm. It really pulled me out of the film.

Ridley Scott takes a beautiful movie and rubs some dirt on it to make a gritty and bloody drama. Maximus is one of those characters you just have to love. He's a family man, excellent General who is respected by his soldiers and by the Emperor. He just has one problem. Joaquin Phoenix. When Phoenix isn't asphyxiating someone or trying to sleep with his sister, he is making the life of Maximus a living hell. The film is shot beautifully and it's so bloody you just have to see it in its full glory

Inspired by the tale of spartacus,Riddley Scott's Gladiator was emotionally heavy. Russel Crow powerful performance as the fallen general is the reason why this movie worth an oscar. while the film is rather lack of style,unlike many other Riddley Scott movie. nevertheless his ability to capture a visual grandeur is enough for escapism to this epic stories of the gladiator.

This movie has a very slow start in my opinion. Not much action at first at all, and I fell asleep at least five times during the movie. As soon as it got to the champion selection for fighting in the Roman Collosseum, I was interested. I only wish it had that spark the entire time.

Great, harmless epic entertainment which seems to try to be something more deep than it has any right to be which fortunately doesn't detract from the experience. The glory unfortunately seemed to have gotten to Scott's head as he (and many others) frequently tried to mimic this film instead of innovate as he had previously in his career shown capable of doing.

I'm curious if this film started a few annoying trends we have today: middle eastern singing set to ominous strings, slow motion where it isn't terribly necessary, shaky cam to simulate frenzy. Not a bad film by any means, I enjoyed it enough. Crowe is fine here, Phoenix nicely detestable as the villain. It kept my attention and I was drawn in.

Heralded by many of the male persuasion as the greatest film ever made: unequaled in intensity, story, morality and action. Well, beneath the veneer of greed and revenge; lies a testosterone-driven epic worth only the price of hearing Russell Crowe yelp at the top of his lungs: "I will have my VENGEANCE, in this life or the next". Moreover, Scott's average directing adds no redemptive qualities by providing shamefulness where unneeded, nevertheless it offers laughs when need be.

It won best picture for a reason. From the epic battles and captivating musical score to Crowe's superb portrayal of the general-turned-vengeful-gladiator Maximus, there is much to appreciate here. Other than some strong aversion to blood and violence or unreasonable expectations of historical accuracy, there is positively no reason why you should not see this film.

Epic like dragging a mountain across the desert & it feels like I'm doing the dragging. I'll never understand what people saw in this. Action scenes are choppy and unclear - impossible to see exactly what's happening. The movie also clearly was written on the run since there's a whole build-up to a story-line that hints to a huge battle between armies and then anti-climatically the whole plan falls apart and we get a (necessarily cheaper given the already soaring budget) battle between 2 men.

Were Gladiator made 40 years before, it would be revered as a classic and it would probably be compared to the likes of Ben-Hur and Lawrence of Arabia. But this is modern Hollywood, people don't grow up, they grow down. And as a result, Gladiator has received mixed reviews from critics to audiences. Personally, I love it. I love the scope and the sophistication. Crowe carries the film on his shoulders, and THAT is Oscar-worthy, people. I can't think of anyone else better-suited as Maximus.

Watched this again for thie first time in 5 years. The ending is so ridiculous, I study Roman history.

Despite these criticisms, respect for epic scope, amazing combat sequences, great visuals, and introducing people to Rome. SPQR

Hollywood spectacle at its finest. Ridley Scott puts together a masterpiece with brilliant acting, stunning special effects and gore, a memorable score, and an engrossing story of one man's fall from being a general in the Roman army to his rise back up as a gladiator.

A formidable rehashing of Anthony Mann's "The Fall of The Roman Empire" (1964) with a touch of Kubrick's "Spartacus" (1960).

Cliche' film that has a bit of a Christ complex but it is entertaining enough. There's very little that's thematically different between this film and Braveheart so you could say it's completely unoriginal. It's just mindlessly entertaining and shot well.

Maximus is a hardcore manly man and Russell Crowe does such an awesome job. This is my favorite Crowe film, and one of Scott's best films to date. A great film that is captivating.

I really liked this movie. I've always had an interest in this period of time in the Roman Empire, and it was amazing to see it played out so well.

Not too much character development, but the action scenes are extraordinary, and it has a pretty standard, yet solid story.

Everything is epic - soundtrack, cast, story, scenery... This one will go to the history of movie with ease. Movie makes you think about our long lost values, and on the otherside - how happy you can be, living in those times. It keeps an exelent balance till the dramatic end. Really MUST-SEE, this is already classic.

Lavish, spectacular, action-packed epic that re-invigorated a moribund genre, though in contrast to its predecessors it is somewhat glum in its approach; in its attempt at a tragic dimension, it eschews the camp decadence and fun of previous excursions into ancient Rome.

Gladiator came at a point where filmmakers were rediscovering the ancient world as a setting for action and drama and it's probably one of the best modern offerings in this genre. Cinematically it's spectacular and the acting is very good. From a historical POV it's both an achievement and a failure; the events portrayed have very little in common with what history has recorded, however Gladiator also offers one of the most compelling portrayals of the ferocity of Ancient Rome ever put to film.

Great action flick, with wonderful mood-setting soundtrack. Crowe is as macho as ever, and Phoenix delivers as bad guy, although poorly casted.

This may be one of the most over rated movies to ever win best picture. That being said it is pretty entertaining. Joaquin Phoenix is excellent as the villian.

Russel Crowe and Ridley Scott team up to make one the greatest sword and sandals movies to date. A rehashing of Spartacus in some ways, but also a bloody tell of revenge and war. The film is dark and brilliantly directed. This movie was at the time of its release considered a thrill ride of emotions and his by far one of the greatest war movies to come to pass. The story is believable the acting impeccable and after this launched careers of Joaquin Phoenix and Russel Crowe to stardom.

Not the classic some would have you believe, but it is easily Scott's finest film for well over the last decade or so. Excellent plot and script merge with another solid Crowe performance, and some pretty and cinematic scenes.
