Way to stick to the story - Gladiator Reviews

This movie was great instead of good, but not because of the terrific actions scenes, not because of the performance of a lifetime by Russel Crow, and not because of the supporting cast that exceeded their starpower. The reason that this movie was great is because it did not cheapen the story, so man times movies will cheapen history for entertainment and this movie did a great job of following closely what Marcus experienced.
