Excellent impact!

Rating: 10/10 (7 February 2001)

What a role model, that Maximus! Excellent plot, cinematography, not over-rated a bit. I also appreciated that the plot wasn't distracted with heavy romance/sex... that would have depreciated the flik. Not as gory as I was led to believe, still - there was gore, but the film was not a horror movie and it was realistic and fast. It contained all the right elements. Great acting, great audience response, an excellent "one man's" epic!
