WHAT I SAY

I don't often go to the theatre to see a movie more than once, but I saw this THREE times! And it just got better with every viewing. Crowe as a revenge-seeking gladiator burned up the screen and Phoenix made jealous rages an art form. It is definitely an "event movie" as the battle scenes are numerous...not to mention bloody and violent. The plot is as old as Rome for Hollywood standards but it didn't disappoint in entertaining me.

WHAT THEY SAY

"Gladiator dazzles because of stellar acting, thrilling action scenes and spectacular imagery. Crowe heads the fine cast...he is positively searing as Maximus, using his amazing physicality to turn an icon into a man."--NUVO newsweekly

"It is undeniably a triumph, muscular and entertaining." --Detroit Free Press
