Wonderful historical fiction.

Rating: 9/10 (16 May 2000)

Wonderful historical fiction! People who have taken Latin will enjoy the sets, scenery, and costumes. While some things are not and cannot be accurate to actual history; it is still a wonderful tour of the ancient world. It really shows how much we lost in the Dark Ages.
Very few bumps in the road from acting, all in all an enjoyable 2.5 hours. Rather bloody, but c'mon, it's a gladiator movie!
