| | Gladiator (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | However, the movie grossed over 187 million dollars in American theaters alone and after earning more than 269 million dollars overseas, Gladiator proved to be a huge success at the box office | | | Gladiator was nominated in 36 individual ceremonies, including the 73rd Academy Awards, the BAFTA Awards and the Golden Globe Awards. | | | Gladiator also implies that "Rome was founded as a Republic" and that it returned to republicanism upon the death of Commodus, neither of which are true. |

| | "Gladiator" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies |
| | Even if one needs to close the ole eyes during the copious violence in the battle and gladiator scenes, the rest of the movie would still be worth it. | | | 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. |

| | Gladiator (2002) - A Hollywood Jesus Visual Film Review. |
| | What separates Gladiator from being simply a movie about violence and revenge (in the same way that American Beauty is not just a movie about sex and midlife crisis) is that Maximus is being led by a commitment to something that is of greater substance than a desire to avenge the deaths of his family. | | | Why is real gladiator violence not acceptable behavior in today's world? | | | At one point, again, just like in Gladiator, the action slows down, the noise fades, and the music swells as the viewer is thrown back from observing the fighting in detail to feeling the sadness of the desperate scene. |

| | Gladiator - Greg's Preview - Yahoo! Movies |
| | Gladiator is a violent, stirring movie of historical drama and pulse-pounding action. | | | All that, and I like gladiator movies, and anything set in Rome, with I Claudius being one of my favorite shows/movies of all time. | | | Based Upon: This is a new film in the tradition of the great, epic gladiator movies of the 50's and 60's (Spartacus, Ben Hur). |

| | Gladiator (2000): Reviews |
| | Gladiator has its creaky moments, but it delivers a particular kind of visceral historical spectacle that movie audiences haven't seen in decades. | | | Gladiator's combination of grim sanctimony and drenching, Dolby-ized dismemberings left me appalled. | | | For all its grandeur, Gladiator is a canned experience, a film that flails around awkwardly trying to find a reason to exist, or at least a compelling story to tell. |

| | Gladiator (2000) |
| | I find in most movies, there is an irritatingly slow process where the character has to "find himself," not so with Gladiator. | | | Trivia: Although much of the movie is fictitious, it's interesting to note that emperor Commodus' historically accurate killer, Narcissus, was born in the same Roman African province as the one in the movie where Maximus becomes a gladiator. | | | Plot Outline: When a Roman general is betrayed and his family murdered by a corrupt prince, he comes to Rome as a gladiator to seek revenge. |

| | Review: Gladiator |
| | Gladiator is the kind of movie upon which Hollywood once built its reputation but rarely produces anymore: the spectacle. | | | Gladiator weds the heroic scope of movies like Ben-Hur, Spartacus, Braveheart, and Rob Roy with the serpentine political treachery of I, Claudius. | | | 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. |

| | They are directed to indicate the confusion of battle, I think, and are composed of very quick cuts and close ups with few or no (been a while since I saw Gladiator) shots of the battles from the broader perspective. | | | “I was … most unhappy, when the hero of the movie … took over his estate, and with typical Western ‘genius’ taught those inferior Arabs how to dig for water, as if they had not been doing that for centuries,” AbuKhalil said on his Web site. | | | The whole movie is filled with this kind of pedanticism, with cardboard cutouts in leading roles. |

| | SPLICEDwire "Troy" movie review (2004) "Troy" review, Wolfgang Petersen, Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, Orlando Bloom |
| | For those seeking a "Gladiator"-style, thinking-person's summer action movie, the film is on shakier ground -- and for folks more interested in watching the Trojan War of Homer's "Iliad" brought to life, brace yourselves for disappointment. | | | But "Troy" is a movie in which the richness on the page -- Beioff doesn't take sides and has gone out of his way to substantiate the heroic, imprudent, arrogant, idealistic, loyal, naive or self-serving motives of every important character -- gets lost in grandiose over-production and marquee-motivated casting. | | | But the movie's shortcomings will also seem more pronounced without the widescreen punch. |

| | Kingdom To Heaven Movie Review |
| | The movie, which had its premier in Hollywood on Thursday and opens in wide distribution on May 6, is the work of Gladiator director Ridley Scott. | | | The movie aspires to be historically accurate, focusing on a tumultuous time in the late 12th century when Baldwin IV, the king of Jerusalem, brought peace to the region by opening the city to all faiths. | | | That message seems to have gotten through to Muslims, who have taken the rare step of approving a Hollywood movie. |

| | When Commodus lifts his late father's ban on gladiators in Rome, in an attempt to distract the people from hunger and plagues, Maximus slashes his way to the top, and the movie ends, of course, with the Big Fight. | | | After escaping and finding that his wife and son have been murdered, Maximus finds his way to the deserts of North Africa, where he is sold as a slave to Proximo (the late Oliver Reed), a manager of gladiators. | | | The visual accomplishment of "Titus" shames "Gladiator," and its story is a whole heck of a lot better than the "Gladiator" screenplay, even if Shakespeare didn't make his Titus the only undefeated champion in Roman history. |

| | SPLICEDwire "Gladiator" review (2000) |
| | 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. | | | While "Gladiator" is nothing if not stimulating and richly visual, director Ridley Scott's sense of grandeur is inconsistent, and he often over-reaches in his attempts to modernize the storytelling for MTV audiences. |

| | Kingdom of Heaven Movie Review - Kingdom of Heaven Movie Trailer - The Boston Globe |
| | ''Kingdom of Heaven," director Ridley Scott's return to the sword-and-sandals genre he revived with ''Gladiator," is nowhere near as entertaining as that 2000 film. | | | Granted, this results in a refreshingly evenhanded portrayal of Muslims for a mass-market movie: As charismatically played by Massoud, Saladin is a past master of Middle Eastern detente. | | | Thus the back half of the movie is one titanic battle after another, the details of which had the historically minded critic in the row next to me cringing in agony. |

| | The ultimate gladiator movie has yet to be made--modern directors are unwilling or unable to tackle the essential strangeness of the ancient games, filled as they were with gaudy theatrical touches, pantomimes and live sex acts--but Colosseum is a valiant attempt and a worthy addition to the genre. | | | The documentary is particularly strong when it depicts the social world of the gladiators, noting that they had their own guilds, with burial clubs and compensation for the families of those killed. | | | Verus, now famous and successful, is a prime attraction in the inaugural bloodbath, which lasted for one hundred days and saw the deaths of two thousand gladiators. |
