Gladiator - Initial Battle Scene

The initial battle scene from Gladiator,which is depicted as Rome's final battle against the Germanic tribes.

I like the fact that the big boss of the Germanic army wasn't killed in a dramatic, overly choreographed one on one duel with Maximus. He was just unceremoniously overwhelmed by a bunch of regular soldiers and turned into a human pin cushion.

Over 20 years later and this battle scene still looks really well done.

"What we do in life, echoes in eternity." My favourite line from any movie.

This scene aged like a fine wine. Looks better than most modern battle scenes. Pits GOT to shame IMO.

In 2000, the battle scene was shot better and more thought out than in the entire season 8 the Game of Thrones

And 20 years later this is still one of the best battle scenes in any movie. The late 90's and early 2000's had their stuff down man.

I wonder if the German Shepherd was granted citizenship of Rome for his bravery?

I had the great honor to meet Charlie Allan (the leader of the german horde) at a medievil fetival in Hamburg Germany. He was performing there with his band Saor Patrol. After the show and a few beers he gave me a hug und got stuck with his mighty beard in my ringmail. I was disguised as a barbarian at that time. We had a good laugh and whenever the scene with him in Gladiator shows up, I tell everybody: "Hey! This guy got stuck with his beard in my ringmail!" 😂

"At my signal, unleash hell." That line and this battle that follows gives me goosebumps every single time!!!

[Consulart]

The value of this movie has increased with every passing year, making this into one of the most genuinely formidable films ever made, cinema on an epic scale. The opening battle scene alone is Oscar worthy material, watching the Roman cavalry charge, gives one the goosebumps!

First matches between Italy and Germany before the invenction of football

Washing the taste of Gladiator II out of my mouth with this.

[jacksparrow]

Hanz Zimmer is just an incredible composer.

[kevinkilduff]

One of the greatest battle scenes from one of the most iconic movies in history. A rue masterpiece of storytelling, action, character development, music and, of course, acting! Well deserving of a number of Oscars.

4:52 “THE ENEMY GENERAL IS SLAIN AND NOW HIS MEN FEAR US, IT IS TIME TO PRESS THE ATTACK”

[Rockstarfrom]

ROMA VICTOR!!! This movie is one of the greatest movies ever.
A genius historic spectaculair story that has no limits

[Fez]

One thing i liked about this scene is that the 'leader' didn't have a 1 on 1 with someone to the death, he got swarmed and stabbed by multiple people. A lot more realistic than, 1 on 1 with everyone standing around watching :P

[Avendale]

The production, the dialogue, the cinematography, the costumes, the dramatic score.. its just perfect.

[Siddious]

Now this is how you do a Cavalry charge, unlike GoT where the cavalry charge into darkness and die for nothing

If Gladiator 2 doesn't have this banger of a soundtrack then it has already failed
