Rating: 5.0
Russell Crowe is HOT!
I'm not the type of person to enjoy "macho" movies like Gladiator and The Patriot, but I immensely enjoyed both of them. Maybe my head has been in the sand, but I didn't really know who Russell Crowe was (excluding his romance with Meg Ryan) but now find myself a true fan. His acting is extraordinary and the story line allows us to look a little bit into the past. I never liked history in high school but find myself more interested in it as movies come out which tell a little bit about the past (yes, I realize they are "Hollywoodized" somewhat-I'm not that naive! :-) ).More than the movie, the bonus material is fantastic. If you have read any of my other reviews, I am mainly a fan of DVD's because of the bonus materials. I like to know what goes on behind the scenes and to learn a little more about the actors involved.If you like suspense and drama, Gladiator is for you!
