Maximum Battles

Rating: Null/10 (15 August 2002)

Although I wouldn't say this is a "good" movie or even a "classic" like the muddled brain dead teens who claim it is the best piece of cinema in the world, I would call it entertaining and nothing more. The film was created to make money, not to stimulate our intellect and I understand that and in the end I said to myself, i could see this again, only for the ability of Crowe to convey to us the power of loss and imprisonment and especially for the stunning battles sequences that are exciting. The plot is unbelievable, and the special effects even worse and even the editing is loose and discordant but again, Crowe's presence and the fights are terrific so don't go to the theater thinking this is Spartacus.
