"Are you not entertained?!" Years have past, and I still am with this movie. The acting/actors, the directing, how the story was written....it was perfection.
Russell Crowe was beyond magnificent in this film. Glorious.
They need to re-release this into the theaters when COVID is done. Remind everyone of the epic movies on a big screen with big sound and that smell of popcorn butter in the air. Maximus!
What i love is that you see clearly the difference in fighting as a soldier vs fighting as a gladiator. He took every opening being quick and efficient he didn't waste time to be fancy he just went in. The gladiators you see throughout are fighting for sport and entertainment
Russell Crowe must have been a warrior in a past life! This scene of violence is incredible and paradoxically masterful!
I love how the other gladiators pay their respects to "the Spaniard" by raising their swords. By this time, everyone knows and fears the Spaniard. Russell crowe definitely got street cred for sure lol
That bit at the beginning puts the famous "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?" line into context. Gotta love Director's Cuts
To this day, gladiator is still in my top 3 movies of all time.
What a movie to see in the Cinema 🎥
20+ years later, I’m still entertained by this masterpiece!
I remember watching this in theaters as a kid... i knew I was witnessing historical greatness.
A man who has seen war and understands that violence and death is not something to be made into a game for entertainment.
One guy in the crowd: I'm entertained!
They don't make them like this anymore.
I’ve watched this movie like twenty times and still love it every time!
You can see the reason why Maximus was a General.
no matter where or how far he fell, a great man will always be a great man. he was saluted "general" when he was in roman army, now at bottom of slavery he was still saluted "spaniard" among the slaves. this should teach people that position nor status made the man, but his attitude
I remember 3 movie theatre experiences from my high school days. And this movie is 1 of them.. Effin LOVE IT
I Love how he Bowed to his fighters before he destroys them... A true general...
