Russell rules

Rating: Null/10 (11 March 2004)

"Gladiator" is one of the best films of the year. I hesitated to see this film for a long time for many reasons; however, when I saw it the other night I was thrilled.
Also, "Gladiator" is laced with great scenery including the Roman coliseum and enriched with the history of Roman culture. Watching this movie was an experience I will never forget because it is like watching history come alive. The film is rich in history, the writers made it fun to watch because we learned about the Roman coliseum, gladiators and life in Rome.

"Gladiator" is an energetic, action packed, drama filled thrill ride which will excite everyone. Two other movies came to mind when I was watching this film; "The Patriot" and "Braveheart" were very similar to "Gladiator" because they all contain unique action sequences, will become classics and all star actors in Mel Gibson and Russell Crowe, who have become major players in Hollywood.
"Gladiator" may not be the best movie, but it will win over the hearts of viewers when they rent it at their local video stores. I can't wait to let everyone know "Gladiator" has become one of my favorite films. I hope everyone will enjoy it as I did. "Gladiator" is rich in history and is a masterpiece with all the trimmings.
