30 Facts You Didn't Know About Gladiator

One of the best period pieces and I can't think of a better movie about Ancient Rome. It just has it all.. acting, music, battles, and a story that hits so deep!

I think that Phoenix nailed it, and was brilliant in delivering the best, most convincing and frightening depiction of an evil and depraved Roman emperor.

Gladiator is a classic. I went to see it at the cinema when I was 16. Russell Crowe deserved to win the Oscar for his portrayal of Maximus.

I never get tired of watching Gladiator.

Gladiator doesn't need a sequel. Master and Commander, on the other hand, could use a few. Most period accurate naval film and just such a good watch. 🙌🙌

I feel that a lot of the writing for dialogue is underrated in Gladiator. When Lucilla says Maximus is lying, but he quips back "I never acquired your comfort with it." Or when Commodus tries to provoke Maximus by insulting his dead wife and child, Maximus replies with "The time for honoring yourself will soon come to an end." Or when Maximus is doing a speech for his army "What we do in life, echoes in eternity!" So many masterful lines that if were written today, would probably be written much simpler and not nearly have the same effect it did.

Gladiator is one of my favourite films. It's timeless. It's art. Please don't ruin it by making a sequel. It doesn't need it.

I've watched this movie many, many times. I never tire of it!

Incredible film and among my top 5 all-time faves! Ridley Scott's work is par excellence!

My Son and I went to see Gladiator and both loved the movie. The acting
and directing were superb. Rewatching the movie brought up the same emotions as the first time I saw it. A great movie.

[Honkiavelli]

One of the greatest movies in the last 50 years. This is a stand alone movie and should not be diminished by a sequel.

There better not be a gladiator 2... leave this masterpiece alone

[benjaminnadeau]

"am I not merciful" ... Used this line so many times over the years

[angelbabysqueaky]

Gladiator is a great movie with terrific acting and a great storyline. It really is a movie that can be watched, more than once. Loved the movie.

[kevinbarry]

Best action movie I’ve ever seen.I watched it in the theater when it first came out Jauquin Phoenix should have gotten oscar.

[allanwolis]

I really liked Maximus' charisma and leadership when he shouted "single column, single column" while training his sword to give instructions to his fellow gladiators. Truly depicting a general on the battlefield. A lot can be learned in this scene. Wow, I watched this movie more than 15 times...

[glenmo]

You don't mess about with a masterpiece let it stand for the ages.

[JanNan]

One of the best films ever, and you are right it never gets old and is one of those films that had the best ending and NEVER needs a sequel ❤

[wplains]

One of the striking things about this movie and history, is the fact that it’s the Roman (Italians) who are the cohesive, incredibly disciplined army and the Germans (tribes) who are a chaotic mess as warriors. Italy’s history is one of the most fascinating in the world

I hate when I see Gladiator show up on the channel guide because I can't keep from watching it again. I must have seen this movie a dozen times! It's epic. It's an icon. The acting, the scenery, the music, the legionnaire costumes, it's all perfect. I'm surprised they are making a sequel. You can't improve on perfection! As there will never be another 68 Mustang, a 71 Cuda, a 68 Charger or 35 Auburn Speedster, there will never be another Gladiator!
