Product: Gladiator [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 5.0
One of the Best and rightfully so
This was a great movie! Russell Crowe made Maximus totally believable and this film gives you an insight into Roman history. Except for a couple of things, it is true to the historical happenings. It brings the animalistic side of humanity to the forefront while balancing it with the spiritual side of the main character. Well written, well acted, and not a trace of sex or 4 letter words, even the battle scenes are done as tastefully as possible. I was on the edge of my seat during the battle scenes, cringing at the actions of Commodus and cheering for Maximus when he proves what it is to really be a man.
