Product: Gladiator [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 5.0
An engaging Epic
Though I wouldn't put this movie in with the all time list of epics, I would say it is a very good contemporary effort and sure to be enjoyed by those who have liked such movies as Braveheart, RobRoy & Patriot. One of the strongest attributes to the movie, besides the character of Russell Crowe, is the cinematography. Ridley Scott is a master at creating a unique ambience. The DTS track is especially powerful for those with Home theater and makes the movie seem that much more dramatic. Ididn't find the second disk of extra material to be that engaging and wouldn't highlight it as a selling point.
