DVD's FOREVER - view, examine ALL the extras, then review
DVD's like this are loaded for our entertainment and enjoyment. Some background information is good but when there is an abundance like this set, stand back and enjoy the ride. This 2 DVD set is absolutely a marvel to watch. Here special effects are used to show us the Rome we have only seen in lavicious paintings. Now we can be absorbed into the plot and character roles without distraction from poor effects. The story line and actors chosen for this epic were excellent choices. I just want to say watch this movie (Disk 1 uninterrupted for almost 3 hours) then watch the 2nd Disk; the deleted scenes (adds to the story line/plot immensely), the making of, and the real Gladitor Story (an amazing tale). With all this information return to review the movie once again for an entirely new perspective. If you liked Spartacus (1960) you'll love "The Gladitor" (2000). You'll be watching this movie again. A great addition to the DVD library.
