Product: Gladiator [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 5.0
The Best of 2000!
I thought this movie was incredible! I especially thought Russell Crowe (Maximus) and Jaoquin Phoenix (Emperor Commodus) did a spectacular job. I am studying Roman history in college and i thought this movie did a pretty good job of portraying life in the greatest empire of the ancient times. The plot is easy to understand and is nonetheless interesting. The only problem is that the movie is a little slow at getting to the point of the whole "Gladiaor" theme. It is definitely worthy of my five-stars and makes a great addition to anyone's collection of dvd's. The extra dvd with the Bonus materials is worth taking a look at as well...full of good behind the scenes "stuff" and information.
