I Fell in Love... with Maximus

Rating: 10/10 (20 May 2000)

Russell Crowe was fantastic for the part as Maximus. In fact all casting was a job well done. Crowe's star has risen high with this one. I hope to see him again in similar epics.
On other notes, the score was excellent too, especially in the opening battle scene. The brass notes were as terrifying as the killing. I felt like I was there.
