Great entertainment

The slow suffering by Russel Crowe's character is painful to watch. But the detail, photography and soundtrack is one of the best I have ever seen. A masterpiece one has to watch sometime in our lifetime. Right along the lines of "Ben-Hur" and with the same classical power in my opinion. If you don't like historic or epic titles you will still enjoy the script and movie play. To be watched in high definition with a good surround sound, don't waste your time watching on a small screen as it will lose the effect. I enjoyed also the fact that it isn't unnecessarily violent and it is very detailed. It feels like a complete thought, an achievement.
