Magnificent. - Gladiator Reviews

Nobody will ever get closer in portraying Rome in its great days. Gladiator not only won best film of the year in various award programs but is also said to be the best film in Hollywood's history. Although most audiences have loved this epic, if you want to see Julia's smile or laugh at Adam Sandler then this might not impress you that much. I absolutely love Gladiator. It doesn't only show the high and mighty Caesers "bravely" ruling their countries, it shows a fallen General who picks himself up and fights his way on as a Gladiator. The story is well constructed, it conflicts here and there but isn't too complex. It's also comforting to know that this isn't just another idea spawned from a Hollywood mind, this really happened (to a certain extent). Ridley Scott (director of Gladiator) is simply the storyteller, not the creator.
