It seems as if the folks at DreamWorks could not decide whether they wanted to remake "Ben Hur," "Spartacus," or "The Fall of the Roman Empire," so they decided to remake all three. They took two awesome scripts and one mediocre screen play, stuck them in a blender, and the resulting concoction has
become the better-than-average "Gladiator." It borrows most heavily from the mediocre "Fall of the Roman Empire" in terms of characters and basic plot,
but quite a bit of influence from "Ben Hur" and "Spartacus" can easily be noted.
This is the story of Mad Maximus (Russell Crowe), an Australian who moves to Spain, looks good in a toga and so becomes general of the Roman army. Unfortunately, he refuses to kiss the behind of Emperor Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix), because he's a bit upset that Commodus killed his own father and Max's best ...

This movie then one i saw more than fifty to sixty times, this historic movie is based on the habit of having gladiators(actuallly the slave but brave men) to fight with the animals in larger galaries in anciant romen empire.Estimations are that there were more than 100 gladiator schools (ludi) throughout the empire.

Advantages: Great battle scenes and a gripping story Disadvantages: None
I don’t usually like this type of film but I loved it and it was superb. It has wonderful effects and awesome battles scenes This film is definitely a must see.
The great Roman General Maximus (Russell Crowe) once again led his side to victory on the battlefield. With the war won, Maximus dreams of home, wanting only to return to his wife and son; however, the dying Emperor Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris) has one more duty for the general—to assume the mantle of his power.
Jealous of Maximus’ favor with the emperor, the heir to the throne, Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix), orders his execution—and that of his family. Barely escaping death, Maximus is forced into slavery and trained as a Gladiator in the arena where his fame grows. Now he has come to Rome, intent on avenging the murder of his wife and son by ...
Combining a distinctive stacked fin array, heat-pipe direct touch (HDT) design, and a large low-noise fan, the Gladiator series is built to take on the cooling challenges of today's most powerful processors and ensure your system functions at its peak. Utilizing the proven performance of the latest HDT design, the Gladiator series has direct contact with the processor using four copper heat pipes to ensure the most rapid heat transfer. The unique "folded" fin configuration also helps maximize surface area while maintaining a compact form factor. Engineered to aggressively dissipate heat produced by high-speed CPUs, the Gladiator series can tackle any challenge in the over clocking arena. These coolers run quiet courtesy of a large fan mounted with anti-vibration rubber connectors to reduce excess noise, perfect for a media center or office desktop where silence is a top priority.
