Russell Crowe At His Finest,

Rating: 9/10 (24 June 2013)

Gladiator is a fantastic movie with a storyline that stays exciting and fresh from start to finish and a cast that stay into their characters all the way through.The movie is a total flashback to the movie's of the fifties and sixties,like Ben Hur,and for the entire movie I was not convinced it was only made thirteen years ago,and I also wasn't convinced it was directed by Ridley Scott,a director who made movies such as Alien and Blade Runner,and I was shocked he could make a movie like this.It is without a doubt Russel Crowe's finest performance as he plays Maximus with great heart.Fans of history movies about gladiators,the Roman empire,etc,will definitely love Gladiator.
After having a falling out with his new emperor,Maximus (Russel Crowe) is forced to become a gladiator and ends up becoming impossible to defeat,fighting with the anger of his family's death.
