Rating: 5.0
STRENGTH AND HONOR
GLADIATOR was the best movie of 2000. If it is not nominated for at least three academy awards (best picture, best actor, best score) then something is wrong with the world. The recreation of ancient rome is more impressive than anything else this year. Gladiator marked a change from the disaster of 199 with the biggest dissapointment/flop of the past two years, star wars episode one. Talk about different--good acting, character & plot development, and a good use of special effects. This is a film that deserves ten stars, let alone 5. If you don't have a DVD player, now you have a reason to get one. DVD is the only way to see this, and the extras are second only to the director's cut DVD of Terminator 2.
