wow. This movie is great. Well for the older ones that is. The movie has great acting you know since Russell Crow almost got the academy award for best actor. This has you wanting more. For the guys you've got your sword swinging, sword bashing, backstabbing action. And for the lovely ladies out there they have the romantic hero getting revenge for the death of his wife and son.
The story begins when Maximillius(Russell Crow) is the leader of an army. The Cesar himself gives him power when he dies, but the son does not like the fact that his father is giving the throne to Maximilluis and not him. The son kills him and since Maximilliius was the only one who knew that he was going to become king Ceaser died without telling anyone. So the son inherit the throne. He ordered the death of Maximillius and to his wife and son. Maximillius got away, but his wife and son were not so fortunate. Maximillius seeks revenge. HE goes on a quest to find him, and when he does he is stopped be competitions he must complete. He finally gains his way to the top to unmask himself to Ceaser. The end you will have to see for yourself.
O, and ladies keep an extra tissue box by your side, your man doesn't like you wiping your salty tears all over them.
