Rating: 5.0
Old-Fashioned hero's tale
In a world of film that suffers an astonishing paucity of good material, GLADIATOR is a pleasant relief. Hollywood has long needed more true Heroes, and this delivers in great fashion.GLADIATOR is an old-fashioned epic, along the lines of BEN-HUR and EL CID. A rousing story, gripping action scenes, breathtaking sets, and aptly mournful music -- along with stellar performances from many cast members -- combine to make GLADIATOR one of the best movies of the decade (if not, as in my own opinion, one of the best of all time!)
