A Classic Set In An Ancient Time With Modern Bonuses We Want
The Gladiator DVD is probably one of the best DVDs out with extras. In fact, it is so loaded with them they needed a second disc!Everyone knows what a great movie it was... but how about the bonuses? Those deleted scenes were okay. Nothing ended up on the cutting room floor that was too traumatic except for one scene where they toss Christian children into the arena. Everyone knows that it was unfair, because the lions always had the homefield advantage.The best part of the DVD bonuses is the two documentaries, one about the making of the movie, and a historical account of the real life gladiators. The historical account heavily relies on the accuracy of the movie to tell its story.We already know that Gladiator was a blockbuster in the theatre. The extras on the disc have now made it a blockbuster @ home.
