Yeah, that movie with Russell Crowe as the gladiator, Joaquin Phoenix as the emperor, and Connie Nielson as the emperor's sister. Yeah..... All I have to say is is that the emperor is the sexiest thing in the movie. Everyone says Russell Crowe is, but not me. Besides that, I like how this movie doesn't totally overdo the action like most action movies *cough300cough* It has other things going on and even minor characters become important sometime in the movie. ^^

It was ok. Not quite best picture material.
I did like the Emperor though.

Gladiator is my fav film of all time, I loved it right from the moment I first saw it, it was also the started of my fandom for Joaquin Phoenix, he was GORGEOUS as Commodus, he played him so true to the real guy, and in such a hot way as well, I drool like mad every time I watch it…hehe, his costumes were just amazing, I just wanted to go touch them, so authentic looking.
I just love everything about it, locations, sets, actors, costumes, music, just everything, it’s a film I can NEVER get tired of, I have 2 collectors editions of it on DVD, it will always be timeless to me!!!

There was a real Commodus?
God, Joaquin Phoenix is so..... YES!!!!!! I just found all of his character's weirdness (like the obsession with his sister) so hot.... And the accent!!!!!!! XD
The clothes in this movie are some of my favorites of all time, mostly with the emperor. They're so fitting and elaborate. Whoever designed them was a genius. I'm jealous..... Hans Zimmer delivered yet another beautiful soundtrack, even though I thought POTC was more interesting.
The little nephew Lucius is so frickin' cute!!!!!!!
Did anyone notice that whenever they don't show the emperor's feet, he's taller than everyone else? He's shorter than most everyone in the movie, including Lucilla, but there are some scenes where he's taller than her. XDXDXD

I did a speach on him in high school years ago, it was fun finding out how mad he was, in lots of ways wrose then in the film!!! Like I said before just everything about this film is amazing, I can find nothing bad about it at all, I just love it soooooo much!!!

Gladiator was delicious fan girl awesome JP as commodus phwoar hehehe.... I liked Maximus too I don't russel C as ne thing else but in this film he is hunky inspiring yum yum...I love the battle with the chariots that was sooooooo awesome... Loads of films since hav ripped off the stroking corn scene,..... Did u guys know that half way through the filming Oliver Reed (Proximo) died alcohol poisining I think and they had to use ppl in wigs and other tricks to finish the filming.... It was only recently when I watched ot with the sub titles that I found out those girrafes wudn't mate I was convinced he said they don't paint..... I love gladiator and films like it (300, troy, etc) men look sooooo YUM in armour.....

Yeah, they give you a history lesson at the beginning but I thought the rest was just a play on history with made up characters. Well, most of it is but.....

I'd say that JP as Commodus looks much hotter than the real one. Muahahahahahahaaa..... *is shot* The dude that played Marcus Aurelius was the Dumbledore in the first two Harry Potter movies. XD I knew I recognized him!!!!

Too bad Dumbledore/Marcus died.... Wow, he died in Gladiator and in real life. If he had lived till the 6th HP movie, he would've died three times. XD

The special edition DVDs I got had him on the front flaps. *swoon* I heard that waaaay back in the day, Harris almost got to play Commodus in another movie but he resigned the part to someone else. (irony!) The guy was pretty old so.....
