Watched it just once, back then. One of those movies that can't watch again because liked it so much and can't risk sullying that memory.

Everyone I talk to says Russell Crow can’t act and I just think back to this movie and A Beautiful Mind and tell them .. ok Siskel and Ebert

Tell your wife to shave. She's looking a bit Russel Crowey.

Sometimes I do what I want to do. The rest of the time, I do what I have to.

My fightin' is poetry! You don't edit out Russel Crowe's poetry ya testicle!
StrawberryPrincess92
This movie was so freaking good, and it was made at a time when the Industry truthism was that gladiator movies were posion, a dead genre.
Kabe59
I wonder what was the recent reference that told them that.
werwerwere
The same was considered about 'magic' before the harry potter books and 'pirates" before the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
gluttonygreedpridewrathslothlustenvy
It won best picture, and then when it came time to award best director, Steven Soderbergh won for Traffic. Ridley Scott was visibly pissed.
fedoraeuphoria
Yeah, they’re called Swords and Sandle movies, coming from Italian B-Movies. Gladiator essentially was what happened when an auteur made one
fedoraeuphoria
*Sword and Sandal*
kalinroar
Because Hollywood can't admit that their movies are actually you know BAD. No if it fails it's because it's a dead genre.
FrankyBabes
Was that enough of a genre to have that kind of observation made about it?
RelartOfGivia
I saw this movie in Rome. Just steps away from the Colosseum.

Have not watched in 12 years. Challenge accepted

Thankfully my dimming memory will wipe this comment from my mind in a few moments. Age has its benefits.

I remember going to see this with high school friends! I still love this movie!\

And now I feel old.

Yup. Got a hernia on the toilet just yesterday. Everything hurts.
BannedbyastupidMod
i too enjoy posion!
HsuDoNihm
Healing posions are good.
AnonOmis1000
In most media, no genre is really "dead" it just becomes so oversaturated that unless you make an gem, it's seen as crap.
CommanderBear93
Like isekai anime
Emby
It's the new fad, man. It used to be fantasy, then it was high school super power battle harems, and now it's isekai.
ajpimpsalll
Eh, name a gladiator movie since?
AnonOmis1000
The Spartacus HBO series.
ajpimpsalll
Eh, there's always TV shows. Hell, westerns are pretty much dead without them. I'm looking for successful movies.
AnonOmis1000
Several westerns have been made in the last decade. There's that one with Pratt, Django
stratus41298
It really stands the test of time. Even the cgi does alright by today's standards.
MrFlibbleIsVeryCross
The CGI was a big deal when this came out. the big rotating camera shot when Maximus walks in to the arena is mostly CGI
ClothoBuer
The mark of a great film isn't how it does when it releases, but how it does many years after.
StopLookingAtMyName
It's done like Jurassic Park. CGI is never the focus, so you never focus on the dated CGI.
freezingpilot
Unlike Jurassic World, where the CGI looks dated despite being high tech.
DrowsyDude
There was CGI in this?
BendyDicksCumOnMyBaps
Tigers man.
Stilgod
Practicle effects+a sprinkle of CGI, not the other way around.
besieged
Oliver Reed died during filming, so some of Proximo's scenes are CGI. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCkZr5k6ZjA
DrowsyDude
I still couldn't tell thats CGI but that is definitely recycled lines,neat
Elonth
mainly the crowd and the top of the arena. They used the real Colosseum and then digitally repaired the rest of it.
alicefreak47
Yeah, they won't/can't spend the money/time to build a clone of the colosseum and to hire every single extra for the big crowd scenes.
Treblaine
That's how you know it's good CGI.
2DollarBillsAreEvil
Just watched it the other day and I cannot even notice the cgi. One of the best movies ever made.
Zeketec
The Colosseum shot is CG, other than that I cant tell.
CrankyLittleStormCloud
The actor for Proximo died mid-shoot. They had to CG his face and splice together dialogue from discarded footage if I'm not mistaken.
PresidentialRoboHobo
Oliver Reed, great actor with a troubled life
PeterTurboIronCage
He fell asleep in a pub toilet in my town and they dedicated a memorial headrest to him to honour the event
stratus41298
He once puked on Steve McQueen. Need I say more?
