Product: Gladiator [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 5.0
Almost as GREAT as Braveheart!
I loved this film when I heard Russel Crowe say "on my singal unleash hell." This movie for me was fun. I enjoyed seeing the rise and fall and rise of Maximus the great. The whole time I was hoping that he would evenge the death of his family and kill Commodus. It showed the strength of the human spirit and a man with a good soul will be able to be at peace with himself in the end of the day as Maximus was when he was dying. The only criticism people have of this film was that was not historically accurate. I am not one of those cinema fans who expect movies to be exactly accurate. My God it is an entertaing movie and with a great plot. If you want to know about the history of Rome for historical accuracy read a book. Some people watch movies for messages, I on the other hand watch movies to be entertained!
