Good film worth seeing

Rating: 8/10 (19 May 2000)

Gladiator seems to me the first good film of the year 2000. Many of the people I know have compared it to be better than Braveheart. I do not agree although I feel that Gladiator is up in that league of films. It has a great story although not historically accurate. People get into the characters and there is some very good acting here. The only complaint I have of this film is that of the camera views at certain times. They can be extremely close and quick which makes it hard to see what has happened. This is true in many of the action scenes. Still I was amazed by the action and the beauty of the many scenes. This film is very good. Go see it in theater if you can.
