The best big budget movie of 2000 so far.

Rating: Null/10 (6 July 2000)

I had high hopes when I walked into the theater to see this movie with my girlfriend. Two and a half hours later, I knew my hopes had been realized. This movie struck me the way few movies have ever done. It involved me deeply with the plot and the characters; the special effects where done very well to mask that they were there, thus making them even better; and the battle scenes were enthralling. Russel Crowe showed again why he is rapidly ascending the ladder of success in Hollywood with his superb acting job, and Ridley Scott showed off his directing prowess in a way I haven't seen since Alien. This movie is a must see. Phalanx
