Best epic historical film since Braveheart.

Rating: Null/10 (15 May 2000)

This movie is one of the best I have ever seen. It ranks up there with Braveheart, Saving Private Ryan, and other classics. Ridley Scott has taken a forgotten era and breathed new life into it. There hasn't been a film of this greatness of the Roman Empire since Ben Hur. I have seen many movies in my lifetime, and this is one I would go back to see again.
The story line was great. The battle scenes were second only to (once again) Braveheart, and Russell Crowe was perfect for Maximus. I truly enjoyed this movie and would recommend this to movie goers of all ages (with the exception of young and timid audiences). This film had no swear words and very little sexual innuendo. It is truly a great work and Ridley Scott, Russell Crowe and all other contributors to this film should walk home with full hands on Oscar night.
