Customer Reviews of Gladiator
'Are You Not Entertained?' Gladiator presents to movie goers a refreshing and original piece of story telling. The plot is easy to follow but contains enough twists and creativity to keep viewers interested. Personally, I myself would rank this movie high on my list of the greatest films of all time...Entertaing and truly superb, Gladiator is a true winner.
The performances were extraordinary. Russell Crowe is amazing as Maximus, but the real standout, omitted in earlier reviews, is by Joaquin Phoneix, as the looked down upon Caesar of Rome, Commodus. My two other favorite were played out by Connie Neilsen and Richard Harris. Overall, the charcters brought their emotions upon the auidience very well and let me relate to them.
Technically, the film acheives greatness all across the board.
From the spectacular visuals, state of the art direction (Ridley Scott), and fitting costumes, to the screenplay and powerfull score (Hans Zimmer).
The many battle scenes are breathtaking and extremly fun to watch. Some memorable scenes included the opening battle with the barbarians of Germania, The first colleseum battle in Rome, the tiger fight, Maximus' getaway, and the climatical concluding battle between Maximus and Commodus.
Overall the film is unflawed. Bound to give you chills, Gladiator is the story of betrayal, lost love, revenge, and loyalty. As you know gladiator won multiple oscars at the 2000 Academy awards inclusing best picture and actor, Joaquin recieved only a nod. PLease, if you have not yet seen Gladiator, rent it, NOW! even if you care less for the genre Gladiator is sure to deliver
WHAT WE DO IN LIFE ECHOS IN ETERNITY
Well, Russell Crowe's echo will definitely be heard for a long time to come. This year marks his third consecutive Oscar nod. He's not only a terrific actor, but an all around cool guy. Regardless of what the tabloids say about him, he seems really funny and personable. Anyway, Gladiator is an amazing movie. In the tradition of Spartacus, a Roman general turned slave seeks vengeance on his family's brutal murder. Russell Crowe won a well deserved Oscar, but Joaquin Phoenix is the star of this movie. His portrayal as the coniving, evil, malicious, jealous, and downright nasty Commodus (he's the villian; could ya guess?!) is absolutely stunning. His innocent, deceitful, yet powerful, violent, yet tender and naive turn as the envious Commodus is extremely noteworthy. If there's anyone who hasn't seen this movie, you don't know what you're missing. With a haunting score by Hans Zimmer and beautiful cinematography, Gladiator is a truly remarkable film. Don't miss it....especially with this extra-packed DVD. For another compelling performance by Russell Crowe, check out Romper Stomper. In that Australian tale about a Nazi skinhead (and no, it's not even close to American History X's plot), Crowe proves that he most definitely is one of our finest actors to date. I highly reccommend both.
okay
this is a three star movie with a five star dvd. one of the biggest problems with the movie was the first battle. i was expecting braveheart quality but ended with a battle less entertaining than the one in dragonheart. the blurry camera and closeups made it impossible to tell what was happening. if you want to see a movie like this but better, see the last samurai or braveheart.
