For the Roman Empire

Rating: 9/10 (26 August 2014)

Gladiator was a great historical film that took place in Italy, Rome from 161 A.D. to 181 A.D. Maximus, the over all hero, is forced to become a gladiator and compete in the games after being falsely accused of killing the emperor of Rome. As a general, he is very skilled with a sword, that helps his odds of surviving. Caesar is the over all bad guy trying to kill Maximus because his father wanted him to be emperor of Rome. The emperor tries everything to kill Maximus. He even tries to put a legendary fighter to kill him. This is somewhat historically correct due to Rome wanting to be a Republic again, the Coliseum, the gladiators, and the Caesar. I would highly suggest seeing this awe-inspiring, breath-taking, and phenomenal film about what Rome was like in the old times.
