Product Details of Gladiator Sapphire Edition Blu-ray Disc

Description

Ridley Scott (BLADE RUNNER, ALIEN) transports Hollywood to second-century Rome in this rousing historical epic that proudly harkens back to such films as BEN-HUR and SPARTACUS. Russell Crowe plays Maximus, a Roman general who leads the troops in conquering Germania for the empire. When an aging Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris) tells Maximus that he'd like him to rule Rome once he's gone, a classic confrontation ensues between the brave and charming soldier--who wants to return home to his wife, son, and farm--and the jealous and conniving Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix), the emperor's only son, who is thirsty for power. Bought as a slave by the profiteering Proximo (Oliver Reed, in his last role), Maximus must kill or be killed in the ring, battling to save not only himself but the future of the very empire that he loves and honors. The film features a terrific battle sequence (that recalls the beginning of SAVING PRIVATE RYAN), huge crowd scenes of thousands of people, and even a little romance, albeit mostly taboo. The impeccably choreographed gladiator scenes are violent yet thrilling, flashing by like lightning. GLADIATOR is a glorious spectacle filled with heart and soul.

Few movies of touching the topic has made me immerse myself in the reality and credible environment of the Roman Empire. Acting is superb and the story very convincing.

This is a first rate movie and in my opinion this is tied with "L.A. Confidential" and "Cinderella Man" as Russell Crowe's top movies, but he has been racking them up. He is more than believable as General Maximus, who, through treachery and betrayal, becomes a gladiator and slave. When his family is murdered he becomes hell bent on revenge. he gets it, but at a cost. Great, great fight scenes.

It held my interest, if only because it's the last film appearance of the great Oliver Reed before he died. Russell Crowe is always pretty good in whatever he's in (although he'd do well to get that immense ego of his under control; he's pretty good as an actor, but he's not as great as he seems to think he is), but I do think Joaquin Phoenix is shaping up to be one of America's better actors....

I was not interested in seeing this movie, at first, though I am very happy that I caved in to the wishes of my friends. It is now one of my favorite films: excellent characters and acting, great cinematography and realistic, true-to-history costumes and scenery. Truly one of the great films of its time.

Such a great plot and acting. Historaclly correct and percise. It demonstrates the "bad side" of Rome.

Gladiator Sapphire Edition Blu-ray Disc

How he goes from being a Roman general to a slave is pretty strange. But other than this the movie is a great epic harkening back to movies from the 60s like Spartacus (released in 1960 I believe), a very inspiring ending. Think Braveheart in Rome.
