Product: Gladiator [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 5.0
AWESOME!
This movie is one of the best films I have seen this year! The visual effects of this movie are outstanding, but nothing can compare to Star Wars Episode I. The movie mainly talks about Russell Crowe, (I forgot his name) who starts out having a wife and a son, and is apart of a war, which he and his men win. After the war, the king of Rome (Joaquin Phoenix) finds out about this "Gladiator", and for some odd reason, that I forgot, the king kills his wife and son. The Gladiator finds out that his family is dead, and decides to go into a championship of fighting, along with other men, to compete to be able to fight in the Coliseum. One of the fighters, who is apart of the Gladiator's group, is Djimon Hounsou from the movie "Amistad". Once the Gladiator wins the fights, he finally arrives in the Coliseum, and does a lot of fighting against man and beast. The king is very jealous that the Gladiator is winning all these fights, and finally, at the end of the movie, fights him, and ofcourse, looses, and dies. The really awesome thing about this movie is the visual effects, the action, and the acting; this movie is a complete work of art!
