See this in the theatre

Rating: 10/10 (7 May 2000)

See this one in the theatre. I haven't seen an audience react so collectively to a movie in a I don't know how long. Gladiator is the stirring story of Maximus and his fight against the Roman emperor. The previews hardly give justice to the bone crushing, decapitating, roaring battle scenes. The cinematography is almost perfect, transporting one to the wilds of Germania and bowels of the coliseum equally well. I know it's early but I wouldn't be surprised to see an Oscar or two come out of this movieRussel Crowe's carries this movie well. If were to compare this to Braveheart I would say Gladiator has Braveheart beat hands down. If you like a good old-fashioned action flick, definitely see Gladiator.
