Gladiator

Rating: 8/10 (12 October 2008)

This was a great movie although it did take me three times to think that. The first time I saw it I was disappointed because I had expected a much better movie. The second time I saw it right after I had seen A beautiful mind and walk the line so I really enjoyed the acting in this movie by Joaquin Phoenix and Russell Crowe. The third time I saw this movie I thought it was just amazing and everything that happened during the movie was great. The music by Hans Zimmer is fantastic though it does resemble to the Pirates of the Caribbean music a little bit. The costumes and the special effects and the color in this movie was just fantastic. Joaquin Phoenix should have won the Oscar for his role. Crowe rightfully deserved his win.
