Product: Gladiator [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 5.0
RIGHTFULLY DESERVES ITS BEST PICTURE HONORS!
This is without a doubt one of the greatest movies ever produced. Every scene of this movie provided the glue that kept you tight in your seat. Every aspect of the architectural lay out of Rome and the Coliseum were perfectly recreated. There is absolutely no flaws as every detail is perfectly depicted. This movie's script is the perfect story and as far as the acting goes, Russel Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix were brilliant. Crowe, well deserved his Oscar and Phoenix should have won "Best Supporting Actor" in my opinion. By the closing scene of the movie I absolutely despised Phoenix, so his task as the evil emperor of Rome was succesfully completed. The DVD itself is full of special features as a second disc is included with the feature disc to better contain all of the extra footage. It is very interesting to take a glimpse at how Rome was recreated and how other things developed as well. In all you get an extremely great deal as Gladiator includes the amazing feature presentation followed up by special features on a second disc. This is a must for your DVD library, so I recommend that you purchase it in the nearest future.
