We really enjoyed it (Warning Movie Spoiler)

Rating: 10/10 (23 May 2000)

This is was a very good movie, I have seen Spartacus and Ben Hur but this has to be the best. the sets were unbelievable, the story kept you interested. There was a love interest, there was violence. there was homosexuality, incest.. it had it all. The costumes and sets really made it the best. Russell Crowe was very convincing as Maximus. Commodus did a good job and by the end of the movie both my wife and I were glad he died at the hands of Maximus. The music was excellent and it really did the movie justice. The arena fighting made it the best but it wasn't overdone. there was really only 2-3 main fight scenes in the arena. I especially like the opening scene fight as well.
