Great Film!! Fully Loaded DVD!!
This DVD has to be one of the greatest buys out there. It is so loaded with extras that it has a second disk for the special features. It is loaded with trailers, 11 scenes cut from the movie, interviews with Ridley Scott and Hans Zimmer, behind the scenes features, and much much more. The DVD is way above average when it comes to features. It is also equipped with Dolby Digital sound that can turn any home entertainment system into your personal movie theater.The movie is great! Russell Crowe gives a stellar performance. The movie is action packed and full of graphic fighting scenes. It's funny to see some of the trailers on the DVD, because they try to make this movie out to be some kind of sappy love story. This movie is about love, but the love that the trailers are refering to. The love in this movie is Maximus' love for the old emporer and for his family. It isn't sappy at all. The violence in the movie is extremely graphic, but the story line is terrific and it is wonderfully done with terrific acting and a great musical score by Hans Zimmer. If you don't have this DVD, I highly recommend you get it. It is well worth the money.
