One of the best movies of the year !!!

Rating: 10/10 (8 May 2000)

I went to see this for no reason. I was bored and just got up and made it my choice to see this. I am EXTREMELY happy that I saw this. The movie is by far THE best movie that I have seen this year. Do NOT, I repeat DO NOT let the marketing fool you into thinking this is just some hack em'/slash em' movie. The Marketing for Fight Club, Three Kings, and The Iron Giant killed those movies. Don't let the same happen to this instant classic. The movie itself is beautifully shot, almost as if any one shot could be placed above a mantle. The acting is done perfectly, although most of the credit goes to Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix performed greatly with what little material he had to work with. Last, but not least, some people might complain about how the battle scenes are too hard to understand. The point of the battles were not to entertain, but rather to show how a real battle is like. Your friend and mine, this is Teenratboy signing off.
