Review of Gladiator (1992) by Jason G — 02 Jul 2014

Russell Crowe does a phenomenal job in this movie directed by Ridley Scott. This is a nearly three hour long movie doesn't feel long at all, when its over you just wish it would keep going. The action sequences are incredibly well made and put together.

However, it doesn't just feel like an action film. Scott does a great job developing each of the characters through their dialogue and their responses to situations. Crowe does a good job at showing his distress and anger after the murder of his family, and Phoenix does a great job as being a heartless jerk.

All in all a great movie that one can watch over and over again. Great for a family that has teenagers.
