| | "Gladiator" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies |
| | The reason it was not in the movie is because it was not an issue among the characters of the story (which I guess is bad from a Christian perspective). | | | From a Christian standpoint, "Gladiator" has only one offensive weak point: its extreme violence. | | | I think many Christian columnists are forgetting the stigma attached to Christianity during the Roman Empire. |

| | Classic Science Fiction Reviews |
| | Gladiator itself, though, is a powerful, visionary work—and it spawned an entire subgenre of fantastic fiction. | | | Atypically for Bison's Frontiers of Imagination series, there's no bibliographical or contextual data whatsoever (the original date of publication isn't even mentioned anywhere), and the very brief introduction by Janny Wurts, despite some last-minute hedging, is mainly disdainful and dismissive of Wylie and his oeuvre, offering no useful insight or information. | | | Gladiator is a brave novel that unflinchingly portrays people at their ugliest and pettiest, all the while reflecting on the better worlds that could be were it not for humanity's relentless failings. |

| | Later, Gladiator came to Earth and battled the Fantastic Four in the mistaken belief that they were alien Skrulls who had used their powers to alter their appearance. | | | However, it is also possible that Gladiator’s vulnerability to the field was a delayed aftereffect of his earlier exposure to an unknown form of radiation that was apparently capable of killing him. | | | Gladiator’s first known encounter with Earth people came when he and other Guard member battled the X-Men on the order of the mad former Shi’ar Emperor D’ken. After D’ken was deposed, his sister Lilandra Neramani became majestrix, and hence the Imperial Guard and Gladiator obeyed her. |

| | What Saturday Night Fever did for Quiana, Plexiglas dancefloors and bad hair, Gladiator will do for killing Christians. | | | Using men with bulging biceps, bulging chests and, well, things that were bulging that no Christian woman should ever have thrust in her face, Gladiator will do more for homoerotic Christian mayhem than anything since Caligula first sashayed into the Colosseum. | | | But instead of the crowd whooping it up for an unattractive little man who, all for the want of a fistful of Prozac, killed off half of Europe, the audience at Gladiator was screaming for Christian blood. |

| | In true Roman drama tradition, Commodus then offs his father and orders Maximus and his family slain as well. | | | Therefore, enter Russell Crowe as a betrayed imperial general, sold into slavery as a gladiator, who fights his way back to Rome to avenge himself upon the devious new emperor that double-crossed him and murdered his family. | | | But Maximus escapes, only to be captured by slave traders and sold to a gladiator trainer (the late Oliver Reed) in a desert province, where his battlefield expertise is the only thing that keeps him alive in a "sport" where "two men enter, one man leaves" is meant literally. |

| | Gladiator: Cinephiles Movie Review |
| | Driven by the mission to avenge Commodus' cruelty and corruption, and guided by his unshakable principles and sense of justice, Maximus is transformed from a slave to a hero. | | | 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. | | | 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. |
