Great movie.. Must see!!

Rating: 9/10 (22 June 2005)

A touching story of a noble and honorable war hero who goes on to become a Gladiator. A story of betrayal, humility, honor, courage and sacrifice. Some of the fight scenes are quite graphic, but rightly potray the essence of the gladiator fights. Fantastic direction by Ridley Scott. Absolutely mesmerizing musical score. Commendable and captivating performance by Russell Crowe. Joaquin Phoenix is excellent as the egotistical Prince. Connie Neilsen as the sister of Joaquin Phoenix gives a subtle yet powerful performance.
In my opinion this is one of the best films ever. Words are not enough to describe this masterpiece. A MUST SEE.. HAIL MAXIMUS!!
