From Gladiators of Hollywood

Rating: 10/10 (15 September 2008)

This movie has shown the elite of Gladiators of Hollywood to the coliseum of world cinema: Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott.
No other actor can do this role. The character happened through Russell Crowe to live forever.
This movie is as good as it can get for a period film. The story, script, mood, casting, locales, music and direction outclassed each other. Developing the characters is the best that Ridley Scott has done for this movie.
Hans Zimmer deserves a special mention for the apt score and Lisa Gerrard for the mesmerizing "Now We Are Free" song.
Gladiator should please anyone who watches it; simply outstanding and astounding.
