Only superlatives can describe the Gladiator

Rating: 10/10 (13 July 2007)

This movie is simply excellent. Ridley Scott did something in directing we have been waiting for since Alien. Phenomenal camera work, passionate motions, colourful landscapes, lifelike wounds and a wonderful casting. Hans Zimmer composed amazing music from the beginning to the end of the film. Furthermore, that Enya song, Now We Are Free, is one of the most expressing soundtrack for me in film history. All the fights were perfect and dynamic, and the costumes and helmets...everything just at its potential!
Russell Crowe deserved his Oscar, his performance and his victory are such an incomparable ones I have not seen on the screen before. He represents all in his actions that I want to become. Through his moral, he gives an unforgettable memory to me that I am very grateful for, indeed. Joaquin Phoenix as Commodus was a great choice but he still has to wait for his Oscar, though he did an amazing job as well.
11 OUT OF 10 or 6* OUT OF 5* is my final judgement.
Thank you Russell Crowe, well done!
