I loved it, it was awesome, one of the best movies I've seen. I've even got a DivX rip of it that I made, it's 1 GB, but the quality is so high you can't tell the difference between the DVD and the rip I made!!!

Epic movie, I like to do an OD on epics by watching Braveheart and Gladiator and maybe even throw in some DUNE!

I thought it got better each time I watched it. I think I've seen it 8 or 9 times, now.

I was one of those nerds that went at midnight to get the DVD when it was released, and took a half day off work to watch it.

I saw it 3 times on the big screen, though, which was incredible.

I got the dvd for christmas and finally watched it last night. My only complaint is when my wife asked me to turn the stereo down because she was trying to go to sleep. ;)

Well done movie... but I just didn't "get it" somehow... I don't know... maybe it felt to contrived? Hmmmm....

Another great movie, but not quite as good as Braveheart OR The Patriot. Mel Gibson has gotten some really awesome characters to play lately.

If you are a male and did not like the gladiator, you may want to question your sexuality :)

Hell if your a woman (which I am not) and you didn't find Russel Crowe sexy (I didn't) you should question your femininity(sp?)... my GF bought the freaking DVD for me just so she could stare at him for over 2 hours. Anyway good movie and sounds almost as good as Saving Private Ryan with 6.1 DTS.

I don't know. That whole thing where that guy wants to get it on with his sister is sick to me. Totally ruined the movie for me. Glad I didn't pay any money to watch it.

My wife and I enjoyed Gladiator at the movies and I got it on DVD last month. All-around great cast, excellent action, and great story-telling.

My wife loves Russell Crowe! :)

excellent movie, highly entertaining, even if the story was incredibly inaccurate. marcus aurelius wanting to restore the republic... heheheh... commodus a wimpy piece of crap heheh (he did fight in the coliseum, but was built like russell crowe)
