Great Film

Rating: 9/10 (1 January 2005)

Gladiator was a superb film in all. I gave it a 9 out of ten simply because very few films deserve a 10. I thought the dialog was well written. The plot was unique in its concept. It had action to keep men involved and the love and sensitive family issues for the women. Although, not totally historically accurate (i.e. purple everywhere instead of red) I felt the setting was overall great. It made you feel like you were actually seeing the Roman Empire.
The character of MAximus is a strong one. He is also very human like in his emotions and decisions. This is why he is likable.
TuSweet gives it two thumbs up (or to be more historically accurate...two thumbs down)
