Product: Gladiator [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 5.0
NOT A FAMILY MOVIE, BUT A DEFINITE MASTERPIECE
Simply Incredible. I didn't know what to expect when I saw this in the theater, but I ended up paying closer attention to this movie than to any other I'd seen which exceeded 2 hours. This movie, although extremely violent, has an awesome story that is very inspiring. It's about someone who does things for the right reason. It's interesting how throughout the whole movie our Gladiator is really a person who would rather not kill, but does so because he has to. I lived in Italy for two years and never visualized Rome as it truly was before this movie. Although it's rated R for extreme violence and some incestuous overtures, the story is too good to not see.
