Yesterday I watched pic related and was genuinely wholly impressed and stunned by everything in this movie - from the cinematography, battles and decor, to the acting and the well-preserved spirit of the urban and provincial Roman life. It is one of these rare movies that you enjoy every single minute of and just cannot get bored for even a second throughout it, a complete 2 hours and 50 minutes of worthwhile cinematic experience. Is this unironically Scott's best?

What do you want to talk about. Yeah Gladiator is fucking amazing, so what? Faggots on this board don't even like Scott's films, why would you want to talk with brainlets like that?

you're just being a contrarian, American Gangster is a very good film but it's nowhere near his best

What I also love is that it had 2 of the wildest actors of another generation. Oliver Reed ( who fucking drank himself to death at the time of filming) and Richard Harris.

As much is I love the film, I'm still not sure about the fact that he's making Gladiator 2. I got a gut feeling it's going to be shit.

>Is this unironically Scott's best?
No, that's definitely Alien.
Scott's weak spot is balancing actors, scripts and the breathtaking spectacles he's able to produce. He can get great performances individually, but actually fleshing out a balanced cast + story has given him difficulties.
Kingdom of Heaven is probably the best example of this.
Gladiator features some highlights of his career, but it's way too self indulgent on the action scenes and the last quarter of the film is fairly predictable.
Alien is where he checks all the marks. Every character gives as much as needed, and the simpler story gave him the opportunity to utilize his full genius in design.
