I AM MAXIMUS!

Rating: Null/10 (8 May 2000)

Wow, what a stellar piece of film-making! Ridley Scott has done it again with attention to detail that won him such acclaim for BladeRunner and Alien. This movie is lush, atmospheric, full of action (mmmmmmmm, action) and enough gore to satisfy even those who thought Saving Private Ryan didn't go far enough. The opening twenty minutes of Galdiator should satisfy most action fans and the gladiatorial sequences are phenomenal. Even Oliver Reed, who died during production, looks good in the CGi used here! 5 out of 5!
