Maximus reigns!

Rating: Null/10 (13 April 2006)

To start with an amazing battle scene at the beginning rocks! Gladiator is one of the best movies I've ever seen! The movie is undoubtedly graphic, but is awesome to watch! The moves and sword play is enticing, especially at the end where Commodus fights Maximus! To have this movie a year before the Lord of the Rings trilogy makes it a sweet prelude! The storyline rocks and the visual swordplay and all rules the screen to the point where you can't turn away from the movie for even a little bit! Great soundtrack, great gladiator fights and the violence that occurs is enticing, but it is just a little much at some points, but that did not persuade me to give it a lower score than 10.
