Gladiator Movie Review

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

4 stars Great but.....
The original 2000 Gladiator DVD was the reason I bought my DVD player in the first place. I was first in the door opening day & have always enjoyed the film. I was glad to here this DVD expanded set was coming out, even though the original DVD 2 disc was good enough. But.....I have a question: Ridely & the people who put this set together. Where is the list of the chapter stops? I want them on every DVD I purchased. With an extended edition with 17 new minutes of footage, a chapter stop list is MUCH NEEDED & A BIG LOSS TO ME WITH THE PURCHASE. Russell earned his Oscar with the film.

5 stars A tremendous period piece.
This takes you back to ancient Rome...really feels like it. The dialogue, music, cinematography and acting are awesome. Russell Crow and Juaquin Phoenix are terrific.

5 stars Awesome movie!
Gladiator was an awesome movie! Russell Crowe did a great job. It had tons of action, good plot, sad ending but I remembered Maxiumis's death. I also got this movie for my 15th birthday. I thought it was a good choice to get. Overall, I will give this movie an A+.

5 stars FEATURE-LADEN DVD
Like most of RIDLEY SCOTT'S work, GLADIATOR is not only figuratively dark in tone but quite literally dark as well. Its colors are almost entirely of a bluish-grey tint, most scenes set either at night or during overcast days. This doesn't give the DVD transfer much to play with, and the result is rather dreary on the eyes. I'm sure the 2.13:1 ratio video reproduction is every bit as good as the original film print, but that isn't saying much. It's reminiscent in a way of TITUS but at least it doesn't mix the styles of ancient Rome with pseudo twentieth-century fascism in some silly attempt at symbolism. The audio, though, is outstanding, coming via Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS ES, or plain, old Dolby 2.0 stereo. In DD 5.1, the audience can hear catapult launchings, arrows flaming, swords clanging, and heads rolling from all directions, truly a dynamic SURROUND sound. Disc one of the set contains the film itself, plus an audio commentary with director RIDLEY SCOTT director of photography JOHN MATHIESON, and editor PIETRO SCALIA. English is the only spoken language, English is offered for subtitles, and there are twenty-eight scene selections. Disc two contains the preponderance of bonus items, starting with my favorite segment: eleven deleted scenes, followed by a seven-minute montage of leftover shots assembled especially for the DVD. The deleted scenes may be viewed with or without commentary. Next, there's a twenty-five-minute documentary, THE MAKING OF which does pretty much what most documentaries do, hypes the film. A more interesting documentary is one titled "Gladiator Games: Roman Blood Sport," about fifty minutes, detailing the facts behind the old Roman spectator sports. Another documentary, "Hans Zimmer: Scoring Gladiator," at twenty-one minutes seems overly long for a commentary on the film's music. Young actor Spencer Treat Clark, who plays Lucilla's son and Rome's heir apparent, wrote a diary during production, represented here as MY GLADIATOR JOURNAL.It holds some minor interest for viewers wanting inside information on the job of movie acting. Then, there are original storyboards for eight sequences in the film and four that were never used; conceptual art; a still gallery that goes on forever; cast and crew biographies and film highlights; a few lines of production notes; and twenty-eight scene selections. To round things off, there are several TV spots, one brief teaser, and a full-blown theatrical trailer. To conclude, I would advise the viewer to have fun and enjoy GLADIATOR but not to rely too heavily on Hollywood for real-life history. It is a film, after all. According to the ENCYLCLOPEDIA BRITTANICA Commodus was made co-ruler and successor to his father, emperor Marcus Aurelius, in 177 A.D. Commodus then joined in the campaign against invading German tribes, but after the death of his father in 180, he quickly came to terms with them. "In 182 Commodus' sister Lucilla conspired with a group of senators to assassinate him. The plot failed, and Commodus retaliated by executing a number of leading senators. Thereafter, his rule became increasingly arbitrary and vicious. In 186 he had his chief minister executed in order to appease the army; three years later he allowed the minister's successor to be killed by a rioting crowd. Political influence then passed to the emperor's mistress and two advisers. Meanwhile, Commodus was lapsing into insanity. He gave Rome a new name, Colonia Commodiana (Colony of Commodus), and imagined that he was the god Hercules, entering the arena to fight as a gladiator or to kill lions with bow and arrow. Finally, when Commodus announced that he would assume the consulship on Jan. 1, 193, dressed as a gladiator, the public became incensed. On Dec. 31, 192, his advisers had him strangled by a champion wrestler."

Lita Ford - The Complete Video Collection DVD (2003)

Gladiator film

$11.75

As guitarist in The Runaways Lita Ford provided the perfect foil for the vocal stylings of singer Joan Jett. When the band parted ways, Lita struck out alone with a solo career that saw her scale the charts with hits such as "Kiss Me Deadly," and the Ozzy Osbourne duet "Close My Eyes Forever." This compilation proves that Lita still knows how to tear up a stage, laying waste to male metal guitar slingers everywhere with her punishing riffs and vocal harmonies. A selection of music videos are also included, highlighting the big hair and shoulder pads era of the 80s hard rock scene. Tracks include "Hit and Run," "Broken Dreams," "Dancing On The Edge," and of course "Kiss Me Deadly." Standard Screen; Soundtrack English

Dune - Extended Version DVDs (1984) Widescreen; Subtitled; Special Edition

Gladiator DVD

$22.85

Additional Footage; Soundtrack English; Dolby Digital 5.1 Re The story behind the adaptation of Frank Herbert's massive, seminal science fiction novel DUNE is a well-known one, spanning 20 years and involving directors as diverse as Alejandro Jodorowsky and Ridley Scott, before the job fell to David Lynch. DUNE tells a story set far in the future, in the year 10191, where factions war over control of the substance named "spice." The clan Atreides currently produces the spice, found on the planet Arrakis, but they are plotted against by the Harkonnens. After a stunning betrayal, it is revealed that Paul Atreides, heir to the clan, is actually the prophesized savior of the Fremen, who are native people of Arrakis. DUNE is famously an enormous, expensive production that was critically lambasted and ended up a financial flop. In part to recoup their losses, Universal Studio edited a longer edition of the film to be shown on television, but director Lynch disavowed this version. But in subsequent years the film has been reappraised and reappreciated, and the extended version has been coveted by fans worldwide. Both the original and longer cut of the film are available together in DUNE: EXTENDED EDITION.

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith DVDs (2005) Widescreen

Gladiator movie DVD

$13.55

The Force is with us in EPISODE III: REVENGE OF THE SITH, the final chapter of the six-part STAR WARS series, which began a long time ago (1977) in a galaxy far, far away... and is now complete in its cyclical perfection. This visually awe-striking kaleidoscope of interplanetary imagination features the unmatched digital animation and special effects of George Lucas's Industrial Light and Magic. With pink and orange skies casting a golden sheen over magnificent landscapes through which space ships dart and light sabers flash, the spectacle of the film, while hypnotizing, is but a complement to the intense, crucial plot. Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) remains the Jedi apprentice of master Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor). Battling dark forces that threaten the Republic, the duo quickly eliminates enemy Count Dooku (Christopher Lee), and Anakin proves--as he states more than once--that his powers have doubled. An intimidating warrior with superior knowledge of the Force, Anakin becomes the pet of Chancellor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid), who is connected to the dark side. Meanwhile, Padme (Natalie Portman), the senator and former queen who is secretly married to Anakin, is pregnant, and Anakin is tortured by dreams of her dying in childbirth. With Obi-Wan on Utapau battling cyborg General Grievous (Matthew Wood), and Yoda (Frank Oz) joining the Wookiees of Kashyyyk, the sage warnings of the Jedi council (Samuel L. Jackson, Jimmy Smits) go unheard by Anakin. His moodiness and glowering are a clear precursor to his inevitable, terrifying metamorphosis into Darth Vader, the dark leader of the evil Empire who haunts the remainder of the series. John Williams's famous orchestral score with its thunderous marching themes adds more continuity, with refrains reminding viewers of STAR WARS EPISODE IV: A NEW HOPE, in which Padme's children Luke and Leia take charge.

Tales From The Crypt - The Complete Third Season DVDs (1991)

Gladiator video

$32.69

Television executives plugged into viewers' deepest fears with the debut of TALES FROM THE CRYPT in 1989. Its original source material was the EC comic-book; the series originated on HBO and would go on to run for seven seasons. Hosted by the skeletal Crypt Keeper himself, each episode of the show offered a new, ghoulish tale to inspire nightmares in its audience. The show was such a success that a myriad of CRYPT-inspired spin-offs resulted, including an animated series, several feature films, and seemingly infinite merchandising opportunities. A popular favorite among horror film fans, TALES FROM THE CRYPT also appeals to anyone who loves the strange and visceral thrill of being scared. The show's entire third season is included here.

Darkthrone Cult Is Alive CD (2006) (Import) England; Limited Edition; Enhanced CD

Gladiator film

$23.29

At a time when most of the first wave of Norwegian black metal bands are long gone, Darkthrone has become the senior figures of this particular subgenre almost by default; they're like the Rolling Stones of death metal. And much like the Rolling Stones around the time of Some Girls and Emotional Rescue, Darkthrone now seems to be caught between staying true to their original sound and adapting to the commercial marketplace. The album's first single, "Too Old, Too Cold" is easily the most immediately accessible song the band has ever done, sounding more like American hardcore punks the Misfits than anyone else, and elsewhere "Graveyard Slut" and "Whiskey Funeral" add to the album's punky feel. Longtime fans might grouse about the somewhat diluted sound of the album, but the shift in emphasis is both subtle and effective. Rather than simply going through the black metal motions, The Cult Is Alive is one of Darkthrone's most satisfying recent albums. ~ Stewart Mason Never failing to keep the creative wheels turning, Norwegian black metal band Darkthrone are back with their 12th album, The Cult Is Alive. Though they've became known as one of the most notorious and influential black metal bands to appear in the Norwegian black metal scene, they have now begun to make larger changes in their style. The Cult Is Alive shows the band writing away from black metal and into a more punk-oriented sound. Includes the enhanced video track 'Too Old, Too Cold' that has been slated as the first single. Includes different artwork than the regular CD, and an exclusive double sided poster packaged in a deluxe clam box. Peaceville. 2006.

Fight Club DVD (1999) SGL

Gladiator review

$15.59

FIGHT CLUB is narrated by a lonely, unfulfilled young man (Edward Norton) who finds his only comfort in feigning terminal illness and attending disease support groups. Hopping from group to group, he encounters another pretender, or "tourist," the morose Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter), who immediately gets under his skin. However, while returning from a business trip, he meets a more intriguing character--the subversive Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt). They become fast friends, bonding over a mutual disgust for corporate consumer-culture hypocrisy. Eventually, the two start Fight Club, which convenes in a bar basement where angry men get to vent their frustrations in brutal, bare-knuckle bouts. Fight Club soon becomes the men's only real priority; when the club starts a cross-country expansion, things start getting really crazy. Like Tyler Durden himself, director David Fincher's FIGHT CLUB, based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk, is startlingly aggressive and gleefully mischievous as it skewers the superficiality of American pop culture. Outstanding performances by Norton and Pitt are supported by a razor-sharp script and an arsenal of stunning visual effects that include computer animation and sleight-of-hand editing. One of the most unique films of the late 20th century, FIGHT CLUB is a pitch-black comedy of striking intensity. Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, Helena Bonham Carter, Jared Leto, Meat Loaf, Zach Grenier - Director: David Fincher Tired of his dead end, white collar existence, a confused young man and his devious friend create a new club whose members relieve their frustrations by beating each other to a pulp.

Lianna DVD (1983) Widescreen

Gladiator video

$13.55

Linda Griffiths plays Lianna, the naive young wife of a professor bored with her life and angered at her husband's blatant sexual indiscretions. She has an affair with another woman, Ruth (Jane Halleran), and when her affair becomes common knowledge, she finds herself shunned by both her friends and family. Released shortly after a handful of films touching upon homosexual relationships (MAKING LOVE, PERSONAL BEST), LIANNA is a realistic depiction of a lesbian relationship that does not succumb to typical Hollywood formulas. Director John Sayles traces the consequences of divorce and the constrictions of women's possibilities with an unsentimental eye, showing that freedom often comes with a heavy price. Although many people were skeptical about a man helming a film about lesbians, Sayles does an admirable job creating a movie that no studio wanted to touch, on a budget that very few directors could live within. Later in his film career, he would continue to explore topics considered outside his range of experience, including life in Harlem (BROTHER FROM ANOTHER PLANET) and the terrors of a war-torn Third World country (MEN WITH GUNS). A young wife and mother leaves her husband for another woman and embarks on an extraordinary journey of self-discovery. Directed by John Sales.

Resident Evil DVD (2002) Widescreen; Dubbed; Subtitled; Deluxe Edition

Gladiator DVD

$9.79

The Umbrella Corporation's Vault, a secret facility located deep below Raccoon City, is sabotaged and a deadly virus is stolen. In the mansion that conceals another entrance to the Vault, Alice (Milla Jovovich) lies on the shower floor, naked except for the shower curtain. She can't remember anything but, as she dresses, she recalls memory fragments. Then, masked intruders burst through the windows. They tell Alice she is a Corporation agent living undercover in the mansion. She goes with them into the Vault to discover who sabotaged it. As they penetrate the Vault, trying to get to the Red Queen, the computer system at the heart of the facility, Alice and her confederates face many horrors--dead bodies suspended in water, blood-red flayed dogs, flesh-eating zombies, and "the Licker," a dynamically mutating monster. Basing RESIDENT EVIL on the popular video game, writer-director Paul W.S. Anderson delivers a tense, exciting science-fiction/horror film. Anderson and director of photography David Johnson shot the movie in rich silver-and-black, so that its few bursts of color are striking--like the image of the blonde Milla Jovovich in a very short crimson dress, with a trailing veil, and black boots dragging a silver axe behind her.
