very enjoyable adventure

Rating: 9/10 (15 August 2004)

Even though Russell Crow has gained an awful reputation as a spoiled actor, his delivery in Gladiator erases it all in my mind. His consistent and admirable work pull you completely into the screen and take you on a really fun, sad, and rewarding adventure.
The art direction in this film is superior. The camera, the script, and the direction are all examples of first class work. Yet, sadly I see that some people chose to rate it as an awful film...why? Nothing about this film is done badly. Could it be jealousy? Hatred? Why can't we just be happy about great work and celebrate with those who were responsible for making it? Russell, keep up the great work.
