Best movie I´ve seen this year so far...

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2000)

After watching the unbearable Mission: Impossible 2 two days ago (only for die-hard Cruise fans), I was a bit reluctant to watch a nearly 3 hours long movie about ancient Rome this afternoon, but I´m glad I did!
This movie is great because you really get to feel sympathy for the main character, as the events take place and he ends up where he ends up (forgive my English, I´m sure there is a better way to type that last phrase.)
Also the scenarios are greatly computer-generated, but that is not the main attraction of the film, and that´s good because many films these days rely on the computers to save the day. The movie is long, but it never gets boring, and the action scenes are really well done. The story is similar to those of the classics such as Ben-Hur or Quo Vadis but hey, everybody expected that.
Anyway enough talk, go and watch it because it´s destined to become a classic, if it´s not already.
10/10
