Product: Gladiator [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 5.0
Excellence on every level
What is the best part of this DVD? Everything! The movie works at every level. It is a compelling story told by a strong cast, backed by breathtaking cinematography and a haunting musical score. It is an unparalled blend of action, morality and romance. The movie presents without preaching what every man should want to be, heroic without conceit, loyal to self and family without compromise, cognisant of duty without ambition.This would easily make my list of 10-best movies. As much as I enjoyed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I think Gladiator surpasses it at every point. It is a movie that will cause you to pause and think weeks after you see it.
