Product: Gladiator [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 5.0
Phenomenal Picture
Gladiator, the film with a leading 12 Oscar nominations for the 2001 Academy Awards, is the first film in quite a while to return to the epics of the past. Reminiscent of Spartacus and Ben Hur, Ridley Scott's masterful direction transports you back to the peak of the Roman empire. This film is certainly well deserving of all the recognition it has received thus far. On a side note, the musical score, which won a Golden Globe Award, is truly magnificent as well.
