"He got his vengence... and he saved Rome." | Gladiator v Emperor | Gladiator (2000) Movie Reaction 

This masterpiece doesn't need a second part neither a remake. It's perfect just the way it is.

The fact that Hans Zimmer only has 2 Oscars is absolutely criminal

"He was a soldier of Rome. Honor him." Gets me every time.

There are 3 times in life where it's OK for a man to cry: 1. The death of a loved one 2: Stubbing a toe really hard on furniture. 3. The end of Gladiator.

For whatever reason, I always tear up when Gracchus says, “Who will help me carry him?” Every f’ing time.

"Now we are free. I will see you again. But not yet. Not yet..." It's all about the ending for me. The action is awesome, but the ending is by far my favorite part of this movie.

I think in the history of cinema, there has never been a more minor role have greater impact than the actress who plays Maximus’ wife. You see her face twice in the entire film but this after life scene being reunited is so powerful.

"Go to them..." It's such a simple sentence, but it breaks me every time.

This soundtrack is one of the most beautiful ones I've heard

I've seen this movie about 20 times, and it never fails that I'm bawling my eyes out by the ending. The score is absolutely out of this world.

A man had his vengeance delivered. A General fought for his country and saved it one last time. A father finally reunited with his family.

Djimon Hounsou is such a great actor too. Decades of portraying awesome secondary characters in movies. Deserves to be the main lead in one.

"Who will help me carry him" always loved that line and scene

Maximus was probably at less than 50% of his ability because of his wound, and he still won. That’s the difference in a warrior forged in war vs a warrior forged in training, excellent writing!

The Hans Zimmer score was so evocative.

That 12 person synchronized gasp at the first stab was very satisfying

He was a soldier of Rome... honor him.

I watched this in the Theater. When it first came out. I Lost it, I cried at the end. If you don't cry watching this movie. You have no soul. I was surrounded by men, crying their eyes out.

Great job Mr Lebowski. I never in my life thought I'd spend time watching other people watching movies, but it is so great to see their reactions. And thanks to you I've been exposed to some of the best.

His son when he runs to him actually broke me for more than i thought. Really this is the best film i have ever seen before 😞😥😥

Maximus' instinct kicked in. Muscle memory and years of battle experience took over

Will Hollywood ever make movies this good again? Hollywood find your soul again & do what we know you can do. This is the pinnacle of proper movie making. Absolute perfection.

Man, this ending is just so perfect, especially the music score & vocals (Elysium) done by Hans Zimmer. A tearful scene.

I'm old enough to have seen Gladiator in the theater the night it premiered. And it says something about the gripping and fully engrossing battle finale between Maximus and Commodus that the people I was seated next to almost a quarter century ago experienced the same emotional resonance to it as those in this video. Masterpieces are like that, and in my opinion...this is one. Thanks for posting and I look forward to the next one! Cheers!

Thank you for sharing some of my favorite reactors. Commodus is probably the most despicable villain in cinematic history. His death was enormously satisfying. But the role was played to perfection by Joaquin Phoenix. And this movie was about as close to flawless as it gets.

To stare into the eyes of the man who ordered the death of your family and to finally have your revenge, wow.

you know ypu are one of the best actors when the fans curse at you and hate your character lol. Mr. Phoenix should have won an Oscar for his villian performance. this movie is sooo damn great.

One of the best movies I’ve ever seen, not many stories of revenge quite like this one. Crowe and phoenix put on a masterclass.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR THIS. I actually lied to my aunt who was raising me so I could go see this at the movies when it came out. I was in 9th grade and she didn't allow me at the time to go places completely by myself. I saw this movie twice the same day. My favorite movie of all time.

9:19 One of the most epic shots in movie history! I want a poster of that! 😁

There is a reason this won so many Academy Awards and golden globes in 2001. Went and saw this in the theater in High School in 2000 and people literally jumped and cheered when he kills Commodus. Fantastic movie. Phoenix deserves accolades for his role as well. Great movie.

Such a hearfelt response from our favorite reactors. A bittersweet and poetic end as the hero strides into the afterlife, his hand caressing the fields of home, his wife and son waiting, beckoning.. a well deserved reward for his fealty to Marcus Aurelius and his last command: give Rome back to the people. I love you guys❤we are Groot

This was wonderful. The reactions showed our united humanity.

I saw this in a theater. When it was over and the end credit music played, I could not move. I sat there, wanting to do something bold and wonderful and helpful to everyone on Earth. I looked into the middle darkness and saw what I truly was. Incapable. It broke my heart a little.

And as Maximus drew in his last breath he heard his friend declare in his loudest voice “maximus in populis imperator!”

So happy I got to see it in the cinema. Looking at films now. Man, we had no idea this would be a classic. We were spoiled then. Now, a movie like this is every 20 years. We were free. A small pocket of greatness, one decade

This movie so good it really makes everyone cry.

I was fortunate enough to get tickets to the IMAX in Chicago, and me, my brother and 2 of our friends watched this on opening weekend, and even better... We never left the theater! We hid in the restroom while they cleaned, then walked right back in and watched it again! We loved it! And of course, movies are always better when you get to watch it on opening weekend with a packed house!!! It is still one of my favorite movies going experiences of my life!

This really is one of the most beautiful, moving pieces of music I've ever heard in a movie. "Now We Are Free" by the one and only Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard from the incredible band Dead Can Dance. Simply amazing!

You're getting really good at these edits Lebowski. Your timing and pacing are top notch. your sense of humor really shines through in these as well. Keep at it!

I remember watching this in highschool. Until this day the last scene like this tears my eyes up as always.

Its hard to believe this movie was a play by play, Ridley made it up as he went....but it became such an Awesome Movie! Such a great story and visuals!

Love the concept of these videos! The absolute best clips, with reaction mashups. Genius.

"What we do in life echoes for eternity." I still listen to this soundtrack from time to time. It always brings me peace.

A true warriors death. Something that any man truly fears but also truly cherishes. Not all men could ever be so lucky.

The part that gets me the most is when he fades out of consciousness, the score starts playing (Elysium) and he opens the doors to his afterlife.

When I first watched this movie something like 10 years ago, it was one of the few times a movie has made me cry(the other was titanic) Even now, like the 100th time I have watched this final sequence, it still gets me teary, so seeing almost all of the reactors crying was super relatable.

He did his duty and finally gets to go home

Soldiers, slaves, senators, and sons all carried a gladiator out while the stadium was completely quite. The music by Hans Zimmer fits the movie, and scene, perfectly. This is cinema!

So very good! The editing where Comodus stabs Maximus? Excellent!

Joaquin Phoenix, for me, was the best actor he'd play the villain to a T. Everyone hated him, not me

I love this film. It also has Hans Zimmer's top score. It was nice to see the power of this film reflected in the people from all over. Regardless one's home, language, this film is one that truly grabs you all the way. This ending w/ the beautiful ""Elysium" & "Honor Him" score pieces never fails to hit hard. Even 20 yrs on.....

Best movie ever! Best ending ever!!! The music of Lisa Gerrard nailed it too!! A true piece of art this film!!

This scene never gets old. Masterpiece ✨.

Wow great job on this one great reactions. I never get old of Gladiator😂

Another awesome mashup! Great job!! 😃

It didn't take these reactions to know (who loved the movie already knew that), but if I were the director, the scriptwriter, one of the actors, etc I would be very proud to seeing what emotions cause to the people who watching it.

EVERY DAMN TIME someone cuts onions when watching this scene. AND I LOVE THIS SONG BEHIND THIS. I want this track to be played at my funeral. I want everyone to remember me like I would be there, at that one empty seat. And not cry but remember all I've done.

No one ever picks up on the foreshadowing of his death from the beginning. Incredible script

When the music started and she started to say ,he was a soldier of rome ,honor him 🥺🥺🥺😢 i never cried that much

The ending music always gets me.

Such a great movie. I had the chance to watch it in the theater and it was epic. I alway felt for Quintus. He was a good man but bound by duty to obey the Emperor. I can’t fault him for that. N the end he did the right thing.

The moment he falls on his back, I just tear up constantly!! It is so emotional!!

Beautiful movie, beautiful music, absolutely very well done and my 4th favourite movie of all time. Not a dry eye when Maximus died, and watching that part again for the umpteenth time, I still cry too. Saw this in the theater when it came out and at the end part there was complete silence in a theater of at least 80 ppl.

This ending, the thumbs up in T2, and the ending of Best of the Best will make me cry every single time

I'll wager no Actor in Film History has had more people Cheer his Death than Joachim Phoenix as Commodus!

The music just brings out all of the emotion, so beautiful!

There are 3 types of people in the world.... those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder wtf just happened. Who are you when someone needs your help?

My favorite movie of all time. The ending to this day has me in tears, every single time, no matter how many times I watch it.

All the reactions. This is why I got into film and theatre. To make people feel that which they have forgotten or never felt before.

Beautiful... Thank you, @YoureMrLebowski.

I am so happy to have seen this movie on the big screen when it was released. I remember seeing it with 2 friends and from the opening scene till the end we were just blown away. Walking out we just wanted to buy another ticket and watch it again.

Thats my favourite movie and im only 13 years old this masterpiece will always be remembered by true dreamworks fans

“Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.” Confucius

that.......was an outstanding compilation of some truly wonderful and heartfelt reactions to this unforgettable (as someone else just wrote)..masterpiece!! Thank you so much!!!!

Gladiator is a stunningly incredible movie, cast, all of it. It's an epic film.❤😂

Without the music at the end it wouldn't been the movie for the woman who sings sail away sail away from the 80s that the song yeah everytime I see the ending I start crying till😢😢😊

I love ya'lls reaction to this part!! It just shows me how much heart ya'll have and empathy!!!!! Keep it up

Beat me to it! I so wanted to do a compilation of everyone crying to this final scene. Well done!

That poor girl in the blue was balling her eyes out. Someone give her a hug!!

Excellent video thanks for putting this together

And one of the best moments to consider. Maximus is carried out like a state hero. Comodus, meanwhile, is left behind for the vultures. How fitting. And it’s great that you guys point it out. Because yeah, fuck him.

Women cry during Titanic ,men during Gladiator.Fact!.....and thumbs up scene Terminator2.

major credit to Ridley Scott for this masterpiece

I dated a girl years ago for a couple years. She loved this movie. It is her all time favorite movie. Watched atleast once a week. Sometimes we would lay in bed to sleep she turned this movie on. Everytime at the end she would cry. She even said sorry for crying. I always told her it's okay to cry to this. We watched it together probably hundreds of times. She can recite every line to this movie perfectly. Sometimes I would ask her to recite it. I still talk to her all these years later after we broke up. She still loves this movie. Still watched it atleast once a week.

such a pefectly played role by russel crowe. i cant imagine someone ells would have just slightly played it that well. 107% pure talent!

And Mighty Rome in it's turn was destroyed though it's decadence, blood lust, moral decay. When the roman general who finally destroyed Carthage was found to be weeping looking down on that carnage was asked why he was crying, This to will happen to us in time he replied. It did.

6:58 Ellie turning on the tears! 😢

The Princess loved Maximus More than anyone in life, save her son. Which is inferred might actually Maximus son. From their relationship in their youth. Releasing him to go home was the hardest thing she ever had to do. So great was Maximus' honor and sense of duty he waited for his Princess to release him before he died. Her speech before the Senator and the colosseum was EPIC considering her Pervert brother lay like a dog in the dirt. Maximus was carried from the colosseum like a hero, Commodus was left lying in the dirt like trash. As a fun fact, so good are the acoustics of the great colosseum, A person standing on the floor of it, speaking in a normal voice can be clearly heard by anyone in the galleries, even to upper most levels. Another fun fact, in 1923 an archeologist was sifting through the dirt in the colosseum searching for relics and found three figurines buried in the dirt, a Man, a woman and a male child. Cool they included that in the movie.

That full Patreon cut is great, if you only watch their reaction videos, you don't see that much. Very cool!!!

An absolute masterpiece in cinematic history. This film will always be at the top.

This is one of those movies where if it were possible everyone watching the movie would jump in the pit and fight with him. This, 300, the revenant, hero. Legendary cinema.

This is the perfect example that music can make a movie legendary ❤❤❤

We don't need a part 2 to a already Classic Masterpiece. When you get something right leave it alone. PLEASE!!!!!

When i FINALLY came around to DVD instead of VHS, this is the first DVD i bought having seen it in the movie theater, i just loved it!

A masterpiece does not do this film justice. This is how you win a Oscar.

Wish I could see this movie for the first time again, it’s a masterpiece!

This movie kicks SO much butt!!! All time great!!

Quintus knows that Commodus is a crazy person and he was afraid for his family. So may be he appeared to betrayed Maximus but in fact once he was in position to pick a side he chosen Maximus.

Gladiator is a masterpiece for all centuries, it’s better not to be made again after almost 24 years, the film is still watched and re-watched because it’s a top film, it’s been watched 500 times, the legendary film, the acting is magnificent
