A man robbed of his name and his dignity strives to win them back, and gain the freedom of his people, in this epic historical drama from director Ridley Scott. In the year 180, the death of emperor Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris) throws the Roman Empire into chaos. Maximus (Russell Crowe) is one of the Roman army's most capable and trusted generals and a key advisor to the emperor. As Marcus' devious son Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix) ascends to the throne, Maximus is set to be executed. He escapes, but is captured by slave traders. Renamed Spaniard and forced to become a gladiator, Maximus must battle to the death with other men for the amusement of paying audiences. His battle skills serve him well, and he becomes one of the most famous and admired men to fight in the Colosseum. Determined to avenge himself against the man who took away his freedom and laid waste to his family, Maximus believes that he can use his fame and skill in the ring to avenge the loss of his family and former glory. As the gladiator begins to challenge his rule, Commodus decides to put his own fighting mettle to the test by squaring off with Maximus in a battle to the death. Gladiator also features Derek Jacobi, Connie Nielsen, Djimon Hounsou, and Oliver Reed, who died of a heart attack midway through production

Roman antiquity and spectacle echoes in eternityGladiator is a journey back to antiquity, and how the mighty reach of Rome dominated the world with power and violence. The character Maximus follows his destiny from conquering general, grieving family man, slave to gladiator and fighting for the memory and honor of his family. Gladiator shows how persons struggled for their precious lives in the Colosseum against the specter of death and the shouts of the Roman mob. The battle scenes and gladiatorial fights were stunning and ruthless in their visual retelling and special effects were outstanding. Gladiator's story creates complex characters and we see how their passions and ambitions develop the drama of Roman life and their allegiances. The characters words and speeches were profound and eloquent, and the stellar cast of Gladiator gave great performances. An exceptional performance given by Russell Crowe for his example of the tortured and tragic hero Maximus deserving of the Best Actor Oscar. Gladiator is a captivating, visual experience and the extended cut provides additional scenes that enhance the story and the music score by Hans Zimmer is an excellent complement to the film. Gladiator will stand as an epic film with all the elements of great drama, character-driven story and wonderful score. The viewing experience of the film lingers in conscience long after the final battle as the sights, sounds and memory of Gladiator echoes in eternity..Mixmastermax1Score: 5/5

Great Movie!Definitely worth a watch..David Dennis-LeighScore: 4/5

This movie is greatThis movie is great, and fun. I love this movie a lot. I love all of the characters in this movie. Russel Crow is really great in this movie. It is one of my all time favorite movies ever..KbCheetahScore: 5/5

Great film, marred by recent screw-upSome millennial bozo who has no idea what he was doing monkeyed with the film, INTENTIONALLY REMOVING the" jerky" stretched frame rate effect during the gladiator sequences. Ridley Scott used this effect intentionally in order to give these sequences a ragged, disconcerting feel. This was done recently. The original version available on iTunes included the effect. The current streaming version replaced the original without notice. They simply changed it and in voilation of the license..Furutan1Score: 5/5

Great movie!!While I love this movie, it's such a shame that it's a separate buy from the theatrical movie that also just had the 4K option added to it. Why doesn't this version have a 4K option, as well?.AmciotolaScore: 5/5

Truly one of the best movies everFrom the moment the movie starts you know you are watching something very special..Socal serbScore: 5/5

Where is the 4K DV?The movie is 5 stars easily and while I don't know if I prefer the extended cut, the added scenes do add some depth (but also make for a bit less tight of a movie). But it's really puzzling that this extended edition is available on the Blu-Ray in 4K yet is not in iTunes. The work for 4K/HDR has already been done for it, except the encoding for iTunes. Are they working on this? Is it an oversight? So the 1 star is not for the content of this edition, just for the lack of the (already existing) 4K/HDR upgrade it deserves..Jon StarkScore: 1/5

Great movie – don't buy againOf course Gladiator is a great movie. You already know that. But now you're wondering whether you should drop another $10 to get the extended version. Nope. First, unlike the Blu-ray version this Digital version contains exactly the same special features that the theatrical Digital version did. Also, most professional reviews say that they prefer the original cut over this extended one. Even Ridley Scott does not seem too keen on this Extended Edition..Big VoiceScore: 5/5

Excellent Flick... but that other reviewer says this movie launched Ridley Scott’s as an amazing director, but, Alien? Blade Runner?.QuinnScore: 5/5

Best movie I've ever seen!!!Who gives any crap about the length of the film. This is easily the best movie I've ever seen in my entire life. Incredible acting, intense action, compelling story-telling, beautiful score by Hans Zimmer, this is the movie that truly started Ridley Scott's career as an incredible film maker, and Russell Crowe's career as one of the most well known actors of all time. And to that 24% of the critics that thought this movie was “meh” and lower, I quote, “Are you not entertained!?”, because I sure am..Jamal FosterScore: 5/5
