Product: Gladiator [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 5.0
an epic!!!!
Gladiator is the sory of a general named Maximus. (...)Russel Crowe was great with his ability to be calm one minute and be enraged the next. Joaquin Phoenix plays emporor Commidus and does and great job counter-acting maximus. (...) I liked the gladiator named Juba his frendship with maxiumus really helps move the movie along. The Coliseum looks great amd up to scale. Walking through the "streets of Rome" was great because it really did show the spectacle of gladiator game back then.(...)Oliver Reed who sadly died during the making gave a nice preformance has the sort of ringleader of the gladiators. I thought Joaquin Phoenix was a little anonying at times. and Connie Neilsien looks beautiful as Commidus's sister Lucilla.People blast this movie because it is historically inaccurate. thats nonsense if you want to learn about true history watch the history channel! Yuo go to the movie snd by dvds to be entertained and gladiator gives you that and more.
