Editorial Reviews

Ridley Scott (Blade Runner) vividly recreates the waning days of the Roman Empire in this lavishly mounted epic directed in the grand manner of sword-and-sandal sagas such as Ben Hur and Spartacus. Gladiators' sweeping narrative focuses on battle-weary Roman general Maximus (Russell Crowe), bent on returning to his family despite the urgings of aging emperor Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris) to remain in Rome's service. After his wife and son are executed by the ruthless Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix), who has also murdered Marcus and seized power, the recently enslaved Maximus becomes the empire's most celebrated gladiator -- and waits for an opportunity to avenge himself on the deranged usurper. Crowe's sullen demeanor and massive physique perfectly suit him to play this brooding, taciturn warrior, and Phoenix (equally convincing as the spoiled, petulant young tyrant), Harris, Connie Nielsen,and the late Oliver Reed provide able support. Richly atmospheric, Gladiator is shrouded in muted colors and dark tones, but Scott's penchant for moody lighting doesn't inhibit the film's dynamism at all. The brutal, chaotic battle scenes that regularly punctuate the episodic plot are truly spectacular. Ed Hulse, Barnes & Noble

You Cannot Stop Watchingby Grobiegirl

February 13, 2009: Seeing the world of a gladiator through their eyes was so terrifying to me. I could not imagine the feeling of someone telling you that without a doubt you were going to die, just some quicker than others. There were so many different emotions, following such complicated characters, I felt the need to keep my mind focused at all times on the story, without straying at all, for fear of losing a whole piece of it. I miss Oliver Reed, he was such a character, and played his part equally as well in this. Joachim Phoenix was perfect, as a jealous, spoiled "Caesar". The choreography, to get the fight scenes so perfect, had to be quite the job.
You just wanted to help the gladiators along, like watching a football game, and thinking you can get in there and move the guys along to get the down, or to score. I would recommend this for the beautiful cinematography, music score, the fine acting, and the story itself that will bring about all kinds of emotions.
