Critic Review:
Ridley Scott and an excellent cast successfully convey the intensity of Roman gladitorial combat as well as the political intrigue brewing beneath.
Gladiator, well cast and impressively staged, is every inch the blockbuster it intends to be. It's also something more. Amid the action and intrigue, director Scott makes a few points about blockbuster-style entertainment.
Really excellent but really violent Oscar winner.
...stirring action, good performances, and a plethora of visual delights.
Epic cinema is back.
User Review:
One of my dearest movies ever. Awesome, with great characters and an intriguing story, Gladiator is just perfect art by actor and director. Russel Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix both are terrific.
A really great movie. Who would think that something as ridiculous as gladiators could garner so much critical acclaim and an Oscar for best actor. It shows just how good Crowe is. Props to Joaquin Pheonix as well.
"Gladiator" has a brilliant cast and is brilliantly made. The movie is powerful and deeply emotional. With that, we have an excellent script and plot, accurate historical information on gladiators, and some intense bloody gladiator fights.

Critic Reviews:
Though the movie may be too intense for some to stomach, the wonderful performances and the bleak imagery are hard to forget.
One of the most powerful I have ever seen. The film's score and editing will haunt you for years to come.
With this movie, Aronofsky sends a couple of messages. One, of course, is about how much habitual drug use can fuel your delusions and what that combination can take away from you. The other message is that the director is now a major American filmmaker.

This movie doesn't have a happy ending like all other movie do, rather it has a very very bad ending and the people who are drug addicts must see this movie.
This movie is simply awesome, it show the things the way it should be and the way it happens,this movie is one the best drama movies i ever seen and i think that every single teenager should watch this movie and realize that drugs and excess never will end well.
Fine piece of work. From every aspect. You can tell the cast and crew worked so hard to compose a phenomenal film, like nothing you have seen before.
"Requiem for a Dream is a great movie, and the few of us who see it will be actually affected."
