A visual Adventure

Rating: 10/10 (25 May 2000)

I went into this film, not really sure what to expect. With the likes of G.I. Jane being Ridley Scotts more recent films, i was not expecting a good film. Well how wrong an i, with Gladiator he has gone back to the days of 'Alien' and 'Blade Runner' where he knew exactly how ro gage the visual impact. Scott has done with the sword and sandles epic, that he did with the sci-fi genre breathed life into it. I highly recommend this to action fans, as well as to anybody interested in flims and film making, there are some glorious touches in this piece. My only downside would be the length a tad long in places might not be to everybody's liking. Anyway only a small downer, on what is a true blockbuster of a film.
