Rating: 4.0
Great epic!!!
I saw the movie at the theater. It was definitely worth my money. I rarely go out to the movies and when I do, I always feel cheated out of my money. They're usually so short but Gladiator is about 3 hours long.It has everything an epic needs. It has adventure, blood, intrigue (not too much to bore you), righteous hero, etc. The movie is about honor and survival(and some other stuff that I couldn't remember since I watched it several months ago). It's very touching. The movie was realistic in that it got some of the less savory sides of humanity in it. One of which is the fact that the prince is in love with his sister. Incest does happen often in those days. The other thing was that his family was killed horribly. The ending was quite sad but appropiate in light of what happened in the movie. You'll see what I mean when you watch the movie.I wouldn't recommend it for little kids 'cause it has too much violence and my little brother and cousins almost fell asleep watching it. They're under 6. Hehe. I would give it 4.5 stars. Hope you find it just as good as I do.
