Some of my favorite porn “epics” have been Private projects. “The Pyramid”, “The Tower” and “The Uranus Project” all come to mind, but there have been several. The Private Gladiator is the latest epic from the company that does them better than anyone. This DVD was named best of all time by FHM magazine recently and that's a whole lot of praise from a mag that knows what guys like. I don't know what would make a DVD the very best ever, but the menus are impressive, the picture is outstanding, the production values high and there seems to be quite a hot cast of Euro-babes waiting around to get fucked. It also has dubbing that is funny as hell, especially since there is actually an attempt at a script here.

Tony Ribas plays Maximus, a might warrior about to embark on the battle to end all battles. Meanwhile, there is evil lurking as a set of power mad cousins prepare to make a run at the throne. There is sexual tension between the beautiful woman (Rita Faltoyano) and her slightly effeminate cousin, but she brings in two barbarian women to please them. Each of them pick a chick and enjoy the taste. For savages, these girls are very well put together and nicely groomed. Both cousins seem equally fond of pussy, but the guy has the advantage of a stiff prick to nail his slave girl with. The scene has a slightly glossy look to it and I don't particularly like the way the action cuts back and forth between the two couples, but there is plenty of eye candy.

There is a pretty well shot battle scene between the Romans and the Barbarians that ends with the Romans winning and Maximus being offered the throne. This sets up a direct conflict with the Emperor's son who shows up after the battle has been won. (He's been sticking it to hotties with his cousin.) The rest of his soldiers partake in a victory orgy that has the huge tent packed wall to wall with hot Euro-babe flesh. With this many girls going, it's hard to pick a favorite but you won't go wrong with any of them. They all look great and give good eye contact while sucking dick. As the soldiers plug away at their shaved pussies, the girls just take whatever spare meat they can find and shove it into their mouths. There is some very hot DP action for a curly haired blonde who later takes the best facial of the scene. I'm not into orgies, but this one has hot girls, hard action and if you're into the whole costume thing, then this one will get you going.

Maximus is busy cleaning his wounds when the Emperor's niece comes to visit. They used to have a thing together, but he is married now and she has moved into the arms of another. He resists her advances for about five seconds before getting his hands on her perfect breasts. It may have been a while since they've been together, but he still knows how to get her hot and bothered with his tongue. His hard prick slips right into her tight pussy and she pumps up and down the full length. Reverse cowgirl looks great with this hot girl and they slide easily into anal. I don't dig the slow motion, but from this angle, any action looks great. Tony bangs away on her ass, but finishes with a big shot right between her beautiful tits. This is a hot scene with the rare pearl necklace finishing shot.

The emperor's son says that he accepts the decision to hand the throne over to Maximus, but slips some poison into his wine. With the emperor dead, Maximus is sent out to be executed. He escapes of course, but the new emperor will have to find that out later. The Senate will get the news of the new emperor soon, but they are too busy taking part in yet another orgy scene. This one has only three couples going at it, so it's a little easier to follow the action, but it still jumps around a bit too much for me. The brunette is the best looking girl of the three, but all of them are thin, pretty and happy to squat fuck until their legs nearly give out. The beautiful brunette eventually works her way in between a couple of cocks for some DP. Plenty of cum flows as the guys spray all over the pretty faces of their party partners.

After finding his burned and his wife murdered, Maximus ends up in prison. We actually started the movie with him attacking the guards. One of the slave girls is trying to get him some water, but the ruthless guard insists that she service him if she wants to quench Maximus' thirst. As he is forced to watch, the guard strips and whips the pretty blonde slave, exposing her flesh to his advances. At least he licks her pussy for a while before making her suck his cock. The blowjob is actually really short which is too bad. This girl looks good with cock in her mouth. He bends her over and fucks her for a long time. After fucking her in the ass as hard as he can, the guard makes her taste his load. She flashes Maximus a smile as she cleans off his dick.

Maximus and the blonde slave are sold and he is forced to become a gladiator. Two rich women bid on him, but need two warriors. While the slave trader looks for another, the women retire for some private time. They get warmed up for a few minutes and then two guys come in to seal the deal. Like the rest of the cast, these girls are pretty nice looking and really have a good time with their pet cocks. The reverse cowgirl looks best, but take a look at the doggy action in this scene; it's very easy on the eyes. After the girls get some one on one time, the brunette gets a DP and then the cum starts shooting. Both girls get great facials and clean up their men nicely.

This is easily one of the most impressive DVDs I've seen in a long time. The picture quality, bonus material and production values are incredible. Sexually, this is not the best Private movie I have ever seen. They went with the slo-mo route and certainly earned some couples appeal for the beautiful costumes and the pretty sex. Don't get me wrong, this is a far cry better than most US features sexually. It's hard to compliment the acting when the dubbing is so bad. The script is pretty good and the special effects are a cut above the norm. I'm not as into group scenes as some people, so a few of the scenes didn't appeal to me as much as they might have. Rita is gorgeous and I hope to see a lot more of her the next two installments.
