If you like Roman era movies, this is one of the greats

Rating: 9/10 (11 September 2015)

Loved Russell Crowe as the lead.
In fact, he was so good here... I wonder where he's went to when he is not performing quite at this level in some of his later works.
Overall, 'Gladiator' is entertaining, if a bit bloody... which isn't gratuitous... though definitely present.
Connie Nielsen holds her own while adding a visually beautiful counter point to the blood and grizzly guts.
If you like the genre, and haven't seen the film, it is riveting to watch and spectacular in it's scope.
Definitely worth seeing... if you don't mind the gore.
