GLADIATOR RULES!!!!!!

Rating: Null/10 (25 May 2000)

Not since the days of Kirk Douglas and Charlton Heston and Yul Brynner(for that manner) there has been a movie of such tremendous scope and power ever constructed in a motion picture of this magnitude on an epic scale. This was a far cry from the recent glorification of "Titanic",and it was well worth the change. I put it on the same ground level as Stanley Kubrick's "Spartacus",and William Wyler's "Ben-Hur",but it gives more of a volucity and surroundinged then ever since Mel Gibson's picture "Braveheart",especially the scene where Russell Crowe's character takes on the German tribes in one bloody battle opening sequence. But the part of the colisseum in Rome is one eye-popper here,and where he battles two opponents and a man-eating tiger is well worth the admission. If I had a choice of a movie to see on a Friday or Saturday night(whether the local mutilplex or the area drive-in theatre),I would see "Gladiator" again,and again!!!!!! HAIL RUSSELL!!!!
