They loved them. They were like football players.
they had a paradoxal status.they were slaves and the scum of the earth yet they were admired and worshipped at the same time.
When speaking about ancient Rome, it is proper to make judgements based on the context of ancient times and other ancient empires. Based on one's subjectivity, ancient Rome's "negatives" as asked in the question can be many or few, once again based on a person's point of view. In my view two negatives stand out: one are the gladiator combats for "entertainment". As far as I know, most ancient empires did not have this type of entertainment. Another negative in my view was the use of massive slavery. Many ancient civilizations had slaves, no question about that. However, in ancient Rome slavery was an institution that ancient Rome grew to be almost an addiction. Taken as a whole however, it is my view that in terms of ancient empires, the Roman empire had more positives than negatives taken in the context of its time in history.
In Roman society, gladiators had a paradoxal status. They were slaves and the scum of the earth, yet they were admired and worshipped at the same time. The more scarred a gladiator was, the more popular he was. As an example, vials of gladiator sweat were sold as an aphrodisiac.

how does the modern view differ from this ancient view
Because it was thought to be great entertainment like today's football games or NASCAR races.
