A true epic

Rating: 10/10 (6 October 2002)

This film is an extremely ingrossing film: i studied it for Film Studies AS and you can really appreciate the time and skill put into this film. From the skill of the cinematography to the settings and the superb performances from Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, Richard Harris and even Djimon Hounsou(who plays Juba and is more famous for his lead role in Amistad). Crowe excels himself as the honourable and brave Maximus and he is the kind of character that you just want to be. This film does credit to all great epics (Ben Hur etc.) and is still completely unique and a amazing piece of work by Ridley Scott Please enjoy this as much as i have....
A hero will rise.
