Amazing. Inspirational. Uplifting

Personally I would say there is no greater movie than this; Gladiator displays excellence in all aspects of what makes a good movie. Russel Crowe (General Maximus) was so well cast for this role and he played it perfectly, through his journey to make Rome great again he sacrifices his own life for the greatness of his country in, what I think of, as the most touching and emotional scene in a movie ever. When I watched this movie at age ten I cried when General Maximus died, the moment was so perfect I forgot I was on a couch, I was there, inside the coliseum with him and it's that moment which elevates this movie above all others.
