Commodus death in Gladiator was actually way worse in real life, as he suffered an entirely different fate. As one of the best gladiator films, Ridley Scotts Gladiator earned $465.4 million at the box office. The movie was positively received when it was released and has an 80% score on Rotten Tomatoes, with Russell Crowes performance as Maximus launching a legacy for the actor, and Joaquin Phoenix also being well-received as Gladiators antagonist, Commodus. Furthermore, the success of Gladiator has spawned a sequel titled Gladiator 2 which is set for release in November, 24 years since the first films release.
