Leave your thoughts about Gladiator.
| The Seattle TimesTed FryThere's a thrilling sense of transcendence that won't let go from the first masterfully constructed frames in Ridley Scott's modern epic of ancient Rome. It's that very rare feeling that you're settling into a movie whose individual elements are so finely attuned they fuse into a singular construct of pure entertainment. |
| People MagazineLeah RozenMoviegoers may not have been pining for such spectacles since speeding chariots last rumbled through theaters in 1959's Ben-Hur and 1960's Spartacus, but the juiced-up Gladiator proves there's still plenty of grappa left in the genre. |
| Philadelphia InquirerDesmond RyanIt's that very rare feeling that you're settling into a movie whose individual elements are so finely attuned they fuse into a singular construct of pure entertainment. |
| The Film YapNick RogersRussell Crowe is as believable a Spaniard here as Charlton Heston was a Mexican in "Touch of Evil." But director Ridley Scott took greater interest in entwining an empire's intrigue with its people's turmoil than emphasizing bread-and-circus brutality. |
| Zap2it.comMichael SzymanskiIf no one paid attention to Russell Crowe after his stellar performances in "The Insider" and "L.A. Confidential," they did so after he put on his Roman togs. |
| CheckOut.comTim BennettGladiator has all the fixin's for wonderful drama. |

| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatIts depiction of the primal emotions that constitute our lives is positively enthralling. |
| Ottawa CitizenJay StoneIt plays out across a canvas that seeks to reinvent both a legend and a film genre. |
| Radio TimesAdrian TurnerFor those old enough to remember the 70mm epics of yesteryear, this is a nostalgic synthesis of all of them. For those who haven't seen those earlier movies, Scott will open their eyes to a "brand-new" old world. |
