Summary: nothing new compared to the DVD
Review: The quality of the photos made me happy, although they were quite Russell-oriented (no problem for us Russell fans!). What was a disappointment for me was the likeness with the DVD. All the quotes and interviews were the same (Russell's words were cleaned for printing). It's the same if you read this book and listen to the soundtrack in the same time or watch the DVD.

Summary: Great Book ... But Where's Hans Zimmer & Lisa Gerrard?
Review: This book is a good complement to one of the greatest movies ever made; although I agree with one reviewer that it's too Russell-oriented (but I don't mind... : ) ). I have one disappointment, though: Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard, the score composers, were not mentioned except in the credit. How could they overlook this? Music is a vital element in movies. And I believe anyone who have seen "Gladiator" would not disagree with me that Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard played very significant roles in this masterpiece. Their music is unbelievably beautiful!Back to the book, buy it! You won't regret it. Reading this book make you realize the zealous effort they put into making "Gladiator", maybe not unlike how the Romans were 2000 years ago. Like the movie, you would want to see it again, and again, and again! Roma Victa!

Summary: A Masterpiece In Its Own Rights
Review: This book was just as stunning as the movie. The many pictures were not just ones used for promotional purpoises but ones that were actually taken from other scenes in the movie. This book has everything, from parts of the screenplay to photos of the actors and director to the plans for the catapults used in the opening scenes for the battle of Germania. This book is highly recommended to anyone who likes to know how they make an epic movie of such size. Once you have read this book over you'll be wanting to see the movie again, and again, and again so you can see how they actually made these scenes. This movie has a huge international cast including New Zealander Russel Crowe. Hopefully he'll get the Oscar, and then there is the amazing actor Joaquin Phoenix and the late Oliver Reed who died just before the completion of the movie. This book tells you how they made some of the final scenes of Oliver Reed after he died. >Enjoy<

Summary: Highly recommended for film students and movie buffs!
Review: This companion book to the movie will appeal to any fan of Gladiator, providing over 200 color photos and drawings and detailing the behind-the-scenes production secrets of one of the finest films of the year. Interviews reveal how the story was written and the movie cast and filmed, while color illustrations and photos liberally embellish every page.

Summary: Wonderful paper- and artwork!
Review: What can I say about this book? It's the perfect book to have as an addition to the well documented DVD. A thrill to read and very good pictures! Nice lay-out and design. Futher a good piece of paperwork to keep the memories about the movies going if you are not able to show the movie over and over again on video or DVD :-) For fans a real 'must have'.
