Review of Gladiator (1992) by Brendan N — 15 Apr 2016

One of those all time classics that reshaped the genre when it was all but dead. Crowe is splendid in the lead role and commands the screen in a role he was born to play. Ridley Scott returns to form after a few films fail to find critical or financial success.

The film swept the box office and awards, righlt so, the film plays out like an artistic big budget passion of love. This is one film I haven't tired from after all these years and have just recently experienced the extended cut, I think studios should allow 3 hour films as a standard practice.

I cannot fault what I might even call my favourite film of all time.
