Rating: 5.0
maximus, general who defyed an empire and it's emperor!
After a 35 year hiatius, from the Sword and Sandal Genre,Ridley Scott, dared to bring it back and with an almost unknown actor. New Zeland born, Australian raised actor, Russell Crowe.What a terrific chance and choice he made. A star was born, and the movie Gladiator, was one of the most magnificent movies of the summer of 2000. Russell and Ridley made such an impact on the world. Russell won Best Actor, and Gladiato won Best Picture. it made such an impression on Hollywood and the World, that every Director decided to try their luck, to no avail.TROY, ALEXANDER etc. Even Ridley's KINGDOM OF HEAVEN could not meet GLADIATOR standard. Like Chris Rock the comedianne said, the lead actor was not Russell Crowe.I have played my copies of Gladiator so much i had to replace it 3 times.I am so looking forward to my new (3) disc version, and especially for Russell's comments. I hope the wait won't be too long.Barbara Borges
