	GLADIATOR MOVIE: FACT OR FICTION?
		The movie was accurate in its reflection of the class distinction in the stadium and the separate throne for the emperor.
		From the slaves to the aristocrats to the conquerors to the conquered, it is all in Gladiator.
		Based on the movie of Gladiator, the games were held because as the new emperor, Commodus, the son of Marcus Aurelius faced a conflict with the senate in the court, the senate did not believe in his ability to govern the land, and also Commodus wanted to gain popularity as a new emperor of Rome.

	Renaissance-Central Movie Review: GLADIATOR

		It is in the gladiator ring that he emerges as a new power intent on killing Commodus.
		Gladiator asks the question, "What is the desire of bloodsport?" Is it an escape from reality.

	Gladiator
		Ridley Scott's Gladiator is a bipolar movie, a spectacle that's against spectacles.
		Gladiator is filled with blunt parallels to the trappings of modern-day fame and athletics: groupies envelope Maximus on his way to the bouts, the gladiators' training sessions resemble infield practice, the dungeons look like locker rooms, and so on.
		Gladiator’s sword choreography lacks the dancing kind of athleticism that gives movies like this a reason to exist, and the big set-pieces are perfunctory, unfulfilling affairs.

	Gladiator movie review
		This movie is so huge there are several distinctly different types of photography ranging from dark and murky to extremely bright.
		Gladiator is Ridley Scott's attempt at an epic in the same vein as Braveheart.
		Combine that with the length of the movie, a terribly slow pace, effects that are downright cheesy, and summer blockbusters just around the corner, and I do not see this doing quite the level of business many are predicting.

	Gladiator movie review by Jim Eadon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		I was expecting too much of this movie, having subconsciously been affected by the hype.
		Yet Gladiator is often marvellous, with great swathes of enjoyable scenes and scenery, fine acting and memorable conflicts.
		Gladiator was stygean and gloomy for pretty much all the time and this had an effect on the spirit like the winter blues.

	Movie Review - Gladiator - www.ericdsnider.com - The Official Website of Eric D. Snider
		When you hear a movie is 2 1/2 hours long, you tend to wonder if maybe something could be cut from it.
		Not "Gladiator." "Gladiator" is so tightly written (by David H. Franzoni, John Logan and William Nicholson), and so efficiently directed (by Ridley Scott), that not one of its 154 minutes seems excessive, padded or unnecessary.
		Eventually, his traveling troupe of gladiators -- men who fight the "home team" in arenas, to the death, for the amusement of the masses -- winds up in Rome, where Commodus sees him in action and must face up to the fact that 1) he's still alive, and 2) the people love him.

	Gladiator
		The movie opens with a battle scene similar to Saving Private Ryan, yet it's more brutal because of the hand to hand combat as compared to the relative distance of machine guns.
		Gladiator will without doubt be a major movie for this spring with its fresh characters and scenery.
		It would not surprise me if we see Russell Crowe in a James Bond movie in the future; he is a character who is loved by the ladies and has a smooth edge.

	Gladiator Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Gladiator begins at the end of Aurelius' march, with Maximus leading the legions' final rout of Goth barbarians in then-Germania.

		Gladiator is presented in a stunning 2.35:1 anamorphic transfer, with closed captions in English.

	Blood Games, The 21st Century Christian and The Gladiator
		We cannot, based on the present evidence, maintain with certainty that its director or producers desired their acclaimed movie, Gladiator, to be endowed with monumental satanic powers to program and channel men’s minds and energies in the direction of evil.
		Gladiator fights, chariot races, and the torturing of Christian slaves in a lion-filled arena are poised for a comeback more than 1600 years after the fall of the Roman Empire.
		The new Gladiator amusement theme park is being opened in the very same country, France, in which, only a couple of centuries ago, real blood games were held, with thousands of innocent victims heads chopped off by the guillotine as chanting and roaring mobs raged with approval.

	Laramie Movie Scope: Gladiator
		May 6, 2000 -- "Gladiator" is a film that harkens back to Hollywood's golden years, "a cast of thousands, a cost of millions" they used to say, but it is more than that.
		Some of these battles are well-staged, with the gladiators dodging not only spears and swords, but the teeth and claws of tigers as well.
		One battle has a band of gladiators, portraying Hannibal and his troops, being attacked by a group of chariots with archers.

	Gladiator: Cinephiles Movie Review
		Gladiator is directed by Ridley Scott (Blade Runner, Thelma and Louise), and is written by David Franzoni, John Logan and William Nicholson, from a story by David Franzoni.
		Gladiator, however, owes most of its success to its clever exploration of the notion of "spectatorship." By providing violent images of the gladiator games, the film portrays the Roman crowd's thirst for violence while simultaneously confronting the film's spectators with their appeal for screen violence.
		All in all, Gladiator is a spectacular film that cleverly uses its poignant images and its powerful characters to create a dramatic story that speaks of the corruptibility of the human mind and the redeeming powers of love and justice.

		The violence is strikingly violent; the sensuality is vividly sensual; crowd scenes teem with action, sets and costumes are excellent, and the sights and sounds of the ancient world come alive throughout the film.
		In short: this movie is an entertainment, not an education.
		The philosophical African gladiator, Juba (marvelously portrayed by Djimon Hounsou), is reminiscent of King Juba, the historian.

		Another feature on the disc is a segment on Hans Zimmer, discussing how he composed the music for "Gladiator." It is a 20-minute featurette that offers a rare glimpse in how a composer approaches a film project of this scope to capture and revive the past in tones and notes.
		This gallery is complemented by a photo gallery of still images from the movie as well as behind-the-scenes photos from the set.
		Ridley Scott proves with "Gladiator" that Hollywood is still capable of producing classy entertainment on an epic scale and furthermore that there is interest in these sorts of monumental spectacles.

	Review on Gladiator - Movie by barus on MouthShut.com
		Gladiator is a genre of movie upon which Hollywood once used to build its reputation but rarely produces anymore: the spectacle.
		Perhaps Scott’s greatest achievement with Gladiator is neither keeping the pacing of a 2 1/2 hour movie tight nor choreographing a spectacular battle scene, but creating a second-century Rome that is entirely credible and stunning in its detail.
		Gladiator consistently looks good, although, during some of the fights, rapid cutting creates a sense of disorientation and confusion.

	Gladiator Movie - Film, Weapons, Swords, Armor.
		While not as fluid as the computer work done for, say, Titanic, it's an impressive achievement that will leave you marveling at the glory that was Rome, when you're not marveling at the glory that is Russell Crowe.
		Starring as the heroic general Maximus, Crowe firmly cements his star status both in terms of screen presence and acting chops, carrying the film on his decidedly non-computer-generated shoulders as he goes from brave general to wounded fugitive to stoic slave to gladiator hero.
		Gladiator's plot is a whirlwind of faux-Shakespearean machinations of death, betrayal, power plays, and secret identities (with lots of faux-Shakespearean dialogue ladled on to keep the proceedings appropriately "classical"), but it's all briskly shot, edited, and paced with a contemporary sensibility.

	Gladiator - Movie Commentary by Scott Ventura (FeedMyEgo.com)
		The movie gleefully holds back on character development to a fault, often neglecting to supply the names of characters in a timely manner.
		There were several times when the camera was shaking to provide the point of view of a combatant, but since this was not the perspective of a notable character, it only undermined the presentation of the action.
		The acting in Gladiator is sub-par, but I'm inclined to blame that more on the writing than the cast.

	Gladiator Movie Blooper : Thumbs Up, Down, or Else? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The archaeologists state that there was in fact a signal given, but whether it was up for life, or down, has been generally left to a film-maker's imagination, and that the actual signal is not known.
		Let's face it, the thumbs up/thumbs down thing (mainly thumbs up) was a sign of masculine strength in the lower region, you can adapt that to fit the movie however you like.Maybe thumbs up means it is good enough because he is showing enough masculinity and down meaning that he is weak.
		We will never know what it truly was, unless some gladiators come back from the dead to haunt the people involved in Gladiator because they got it wrong.

	Gladiator Movie Review by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net
		Though the story is largely fictional, "Gladiator" uses actual historical figures and tells its story in the context of the events of the day.
		The games are portrayed as the low-brown entertainment of the age, where the top gladiators become worshipped by the masses (as well as become sought after for sexual favors) and the coffers of their owners are lined with gold.
		As the film's titular gladiator, Crowe carries the story, both with his impassioned performance and commanding screen presence-- as he was able to embody the nervous mannerisms of whistleblower Jeffrey Wigand in "The Insider", Crowe is able to project the self-assuredness, leadership, and burning rage that dominate his character.

	Gladiator Movie Review - MovieWeb
		The awe-inspiring trailers for Gladiator may have you dreaming of Spartacus and Ben-Hur, but you may be surprised to find this film in reality a less palatable mÃ©lange of Braveheart and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.
		Gladiator's finest hour comes when the gladiating begins (though this is a good 60 minutes into the picture).
		Then there's the chit-chat of Gladiator's "plot," a threadbare bit of political intrigue, with Commodus worried sick about Maximus's rise to popularity via the mob crowds at the pit, Connie Nielsen's Lucilla (Commodus's sister), also worried sick in fear that her son will be killed...

	Gladiator
		Gladiator tells the story of a Roman general named Maximus--what else?--who at the beginning of the film conquers Germania for Marcus Aurelius (121-80 CE).
		In the role of Lucilla, Connie Nielsen is quite attractive and has a lovely face, but the movie gives her little to do other than to stand around decoratively and serve as the object of her driveling brother's unholy passion.
		In addition, the movie, like many of the 1960's epics, boasts an excellent supporting cast that includes Djimon Hounsou as an African gladiator, and Richard Harris as Marcus Aurelius as well as Derek Jacobi and Oliver Reed in a posthumous appearance as Proximo.

	Gladiator 2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Gladiators 2 is a horrible idea, and frankly I'm surprised a man with the film intelligence of Ridley Scott would even entertain such a stupid idea.
		Gladiator, an excellent movie fully deserving the title of movie of the year, should not have a sequel.
		The original gladiator worked on a number of levels that could be repeated, but as mentioned by other people discussing "the actual topic", maximus would need to be worked into the film somehow.

	indie review > Gladiator movie review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		It's not 'Spartacus' or one of my all-time favorites Hawks' 'Land of the Pharaoh', but Ridley Scott's 'Gladiator' is grounded in the 1950's DeMille tradition of epic, overblown filmmaking, and is far more interesting than a good number of those '50's clunkers that they used to re-show on Saturday afternoons.
		As a result, the human story and pace of the movie fail to achieve the moving conclusion that was clearly Scott's aim.
		Though he missed this hurdle, it is this still one of the best movies out this summer.

	Gladiator movie review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The movie is quite daring in its own way: it is a spectacle set in Ancient Rome in 180 AD, a time when humans (being the inane creatures they are) more openly compensated for their inadequacies by watching other humans kill each other brutally.
		Commodus does not take this news kindly and orchestrates events such that in a short order, Maximus' wife and son are killed brutally and Maximus himself is broken and shackled as a slave.
		The spectacles being staged, from the initial opening sequence to the gladiator fights, are grandiose.

		When a Roman general is betrayed and his family murdered by a corrupt prince, he comes to Rome as a gladiator to seek revenge.
		Among the chanting of the Germanic hordes at the beginning of the film are samples of the Zulu war chant from the film Zulu (1964).
		I find in most movies, there is an irritatingly slow process where the character has to "find himself," not so with Gladiator.
