  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.

  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.

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

  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.

  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.

  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.  🙌🙌
