Product: Gladiator [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 4.0
In addition to being a great movie, this is a great DVD
I don't think I really need to review the movie as much as I should review the DVD itself. This is an amazing, engrossing, and brilliant film. Not since the earlier years of celluloid and such collossal cornerstones like ET, Titanic, and Star Wars has a film redefined the term epic. If you've never seen it, you have no idea what a true film experience is. I'll just leave it at that!"...Are You Not Entertained??!"With this said, I'll move on to my review of the DVD. In spite of the fact that attending a film at a theater doesn't really compare to home viewing (although with today's technology, it's arguable), this DVD is a treat that I didn't get when I experienced the film on it's original theater run."...on my mark, unleash hell!"First of all, the extras are what I call "extra extras". There are hours of REALLY interesting content. From the cute diary of the kid, to historical presentations of costumes, gladiators, and culture, to behind the scenes footage and deleted scenes, the extras really deliver. To be honest, you could spend a whole afternoon JUST watching them...without losing interest or having the film ruined for you."...go to them..."
