Is there room for more greatness???

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 2005)

I don't think that a better historical\action\drama can and will be made in a hundred years from now!Russell Crowe is great!Joaquin Phoenix makes me sick and that is true acting greatness!!!i saw him recently in a movie were he was a firefighter and all i could think about him was repulsive Commodus(which matter of fact existed!!!died in the arena too!!!)The battle scenes are spectacular(especially the one in the German forest),the soundtrack is magnificent(Lisa Gerrard goes sky-high on her performance).What can i say more?There is no cheesy American ending(the hero dies) and i think this is good because his family haunts him and he dies hopping he will rejoin them...You can see it's an American movie though but that is not a bad thing like in other productions were the Yankee-doodlers have spoiled history.The catch is that this movie does not claim to be historically correct...and so it is flawless!!!!ENJOY!!!MASTERPIECE!!!
