Best film this year

Rating: 8/10 (26 December 2000)

This is THE film of 2000. Crowe is just great as Maximus, and the acting generally is excellent. The real star of the film though are the effects. The coliseum is just unbelievable. During the film I felt like I was almost there. The battle scenes are terrific, reminds me of the D-Day sequences in 'Saving Private Ryan'. I just hope it gets best film oscar in 2001, it deserves too. 8/10
