Charles Jan 24, 2026 Fine cast of actors bring this epic movie to life and you feel you're an eye-witness to the intrigue of ancient Rome, the grand-scale battles in Germania, and of course gladiator fighting in the Roman coliseum. This movie is rich in action scenes, enhanced by the big screen cinema and powerful sound. Puts you right there. If you want the ultimate viewing experience, don't rent this movie, see it at the theatre. Gladiator won five Oscars in 2001 you won't be disappointed.

Maximus is then relegated to fighting to the death in the gladiator arenas. It is far to say that RC gave an outstanding Performance and although it’s nearly 30 years old it never grows old no matter how many times you see it. This is due to director RS and unlike the follow up years latter this is a demonstration of how good the brits are at film making. Great film.

You can't stop thinking about it and you just want to watch it again See more B P @Bradster69 Sep 30, 2026 Definitely Recommend It See more Huntin P @PaxVobiscum80 Sep 24, 2026 Masterful swords and sandals extravaganza, only slightly diminished by its belated sequel. Ridley, ffs, retire! And take Scorsese and Coppola and Woody with you when you do. Back in 2000, however, we were all over this movie. I'm willing to overlook some of the corny dialogue, and the overrated Joaquin Phoenix's OTT performance, so thrilling are the set-pieces, so magnetic El Crowe. I suppose, to be honest, deep down, the fights are everything, really, and the same could be said of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, which is far more beautiful than Gladiator. Makes you wonder what Ang Lee could have done with this. But the CGI Roman arena, and the wonderful supporting roles played by Oliver Reed and Derek Jacobi, they add gravitas, more gravitas in fact than Lee's film possesses (it tends to defy gravity, hehe). Suggest watching Gladitator on a double bill with A Good Year. See more Read all reviews
