We will see August. Gladiator had it all IMO. Just one well made movie and the masters when it came to the musical score. All aspects of an A++ movie was there IMO. :yeah:

Listen to Holst's "The Planets" and then the Gladiator score. You'll see that Hans Zimmer (to put it politely) was very "inspired" by Holst.

Still great music though. :up:

Here's a performance of "Mars, Bringer of War": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NeQ1h6lzLI

Just watched it. Good stuff.

Aye, Gladiator is an great movie. Tho, IMHO, the music wasnt 'great', I mean, it was the standard quality from H.Z., but it wasnt anything really rememberable like for example the shower scene music from The Rock. :hmmm: Now that was something that was just perfect for the scene.

If the music conveys what the feeling is in a particular seen the it has done it's job. Such as the show scene here, it conveys suspense and action. It has done it's job. Imagine the scene without the music. Not much fun. Imagine the scene after Crowe's character dies in the movie Gladiator were he is walking through the field of wheat. Without that piece of music the scene is just not as gripping and sorrowful. Without a doubt, if Commander comes with a top notch sound track then it should be a very good movie.

The Das Boot of sailing ship movies, Ebert like it :up:

Do you accept a biased opinion based on the fact that in my ultimate wisdom I've decided that a movie featuring Russel Crowe simply cannot be bad? :D

Well, I tend to agree with you. Hands down, Gladiator made me a Crowe fan. He was just that good for that part. My all time favorite movie. The only problem with that is when I see Crowe in something else I fully expect to see a broad sword come flying out decapitating a lesser slave in the arena! So yeah, bias is cool with me :03:

Haha, ok. I'll get back to you when I'm done with it.

Righto, it was goooood. Check the Ebert review thingy, I felt the same about it. :yeah:

Ok, will order through SS Amazon. :03:

EDIT: Done deal!
