Movie of the year!

Rating: 10/10 (11 June 2000)

This movie is a masterpiece. Gladiator has the same qualities as great movies like "Saving Private Ryan", "Braveheart" and "Titanic". Historical elements, stunning scenery and brilliant casting are the reason why this movie deserves to be compared with these other great movies, even though the story of the movie is not as authentic as the others. Russell Crowe is fantastic - he has the same presence on the screen as Mel Gibson. Connie Nielsen and Joaquin Phoenix also deserves credit for their performances. If you want to be entertained in a big way - see Gladiator, it will leave you breathless.
