Caesar a Reformer or a Dictator?

I think Julius Caesar was an Ambitious Dictator because in the movie we watched about Caesar and what it says in this article about him being a Reformer it says that he "treated many of his defeated enemies generously and appointed some of them including Brutus to government positions" i disagree because in the movie we watched it said he watched 20,000 women and children starve to death, he had his soldiers slaughter 14,000 Gauls after defeating them in war, he ordered that 2,000 Gauls hands be cut off, and had a band of pirates crucified. It also says in the article that "ended the rule of corrupt Roman nobles but in they video he is getting all his funds from the same nobles that eventually became corrupt. He also named him self Dictator for life.
