Gladiator

CriticsCritics: 74
AudienceAudience: 8.4

After an emperor dies, a trusted Roman general is pushed aside as the emperor’s son takes power. Forced into slavery and made to fight as a gladiator for public entertainment, he faces a brutal new life in an empire shaped by ambition, loyalty, and the struggle for justice.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like grand historical dramas, tense battles, and emotionally driven stories; Not for you if graphic violence or a familiar tale of betrayal and revenge puts you off.
