Product: Gladiator [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 5.0
Worthy of every Academy Award!
GLADIATOR is the story of General Maximus (Russell Crowe), who is forced into slavery by the evil hearted Commadeus (Jauquin Phoenix). After escaping captivity, Maximus joins the Gladiators of Rome, and becomes an undefeated champion, awaiting his revenge upon the Emperor, for the murder of his family.MY REVIEW:"This movie is powerful and emotional, is action packed, and is a true epic with great story telling. Russell Crowe earned his BEST ACTOR oscar well. This is a real career turn-around for him. GLADIATOR won BEST PICTURE of 2000, and it deserves it! The movie has great special effects (which it won an Academy Award for)and marvelous battles! The music is the best part! Hans Zimmer is top notch at his music which really sets the tone for this film! This movie deserves far more than all five stars! See GLADIATOR, as being the BEST MOVIE of 2000! Films don't usually get this good! We finall have a BEST PICTURE that is worthy of the oscar! THE ENGLISH PATIENT, AMERICAN BEAUTY, and SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE- they weren't BEST PICTURES in my book! GLADIATOR rules!"- MJV & the Movies
