Product: Gladiator [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 5.0
Best Movie of 2000
You name it, this picture's got it: action, adventure, romance, music, visual affects and scenes. From a happy, loving father who only wants to return to his son and wife, to a gladiator bent on getting his just revenge. Seeing a general who has just one a huge battle cry at the burned bodies of his wife and son is particularly jolting. How can any sentimental person not like him after seeing him cry? From the actions scenes with sword and tigers to the visual affects of the coliseum to Russell in a skirt, this movie is pure eye candy. One of my favorite details is the use of rose petals throughout the movie. Far better acting than Tom Hanks in Castaway (he doesn't even talk for an hour of the movie!) and definately deserves Best Actor awards.
