An excellent movie

Rating: 10/10 (13 February 2014)

This movie is one of the first 5 movies i seen on a computer and also one of the best movies i ever seen.It has everything a good movie should had,the storyline is nice and the way is realized is impeccable.Also Russell Crowe plays probably one of his best roles ever.The soundtrack is beautiful and it makes you live every emotion the movie has to transmit to the watchers. Here is a little summary as i see it: Before Maximus (Crowe), the heroic Roman General, can honor the wishes of his dying emperor Marcus Aurelius (Harris) by assuming the emperor's role, the emperor's cruel and corrupt son Commodus (Phoenix) orders the execution of Maximus and his family. Escaping death, Maximus assumes the life of an anonymous gladiator, fighting his way back to the Roman Colosseum where he seeks revenge and a return to justice for Rome.
