Roman Spectacle Movie Revived!

Rating: 9/10 (24 November 2000)

In the tradition of Ben Hur and Spartacus, Gladiator scores big. Russell Crowe as Maximus, the Roman General, is magnificent.
Life in Rome in the second century A.D., is portrayed realistically. The battle scenes at the beginning of the film take your breath away with their excitement and authenticity.
Highly recommended.
