I am GLAD I saw this one

Rating: 8/10 (11 July 2001)

When I saw Gladiator, I was reminded of Braveheart. But you know what? That's actually a really good thing, seeming as I loved Braveheart. Gladiator is good on all scales. Visually, it is probably the best film of the year. Story, one of the top five. Acting, one of the top five. Gladiator leaves on the edge of your seat the whole time. What's amazing about this is you don't see many action movies that debate between systems of government, and this movie handles it so well. This is brilliant film making, it just might be better than Braveheart. So if you liked Braveheart, you'll LOVE this.
