Rating: 5.0
Amazing
For those of you who may not know this, GLADIATOR IS A FICTIONAL STORY. Despite this the movie does a LOT to get things right. You have to appreciate that simple fact. It's truly a visual masterpeice, you are actually take back to ancient Rome. The battle at the beggining is very well done. For those of you say it's historically innacurate... it's fiction.... though some events are obviously based on fact... it's simply meant to entertain.... and that it does. It does an excellent job of showing the struggle of power between the emperor or Rome and the senate, the plotting, schemeing, and corruption that occured, and how instable an emperor could be. It's about time we have more EPIC's on scale with movies from the 50's and 60's. Gladiator is an awesome movie and I reccomend it to everyone.
