I love this movie

Rating: 10/10 (29 May 2002)

Gladiator is terrific. It is definitely one of my top 5 films of all time. I'm sure everyone knows the plot by now. Russell Crowe is one bad a** MF that kicks major b*tt. Not to mention he looks so hot as he is decapitating and slashing the competition. But what makes this movie great is the story line is heart felt and you feel for Maximus after his family is murdered. It is the ultimate tale of revenge.

Russell Crowe is a great actor. I never heard of him before Gladiator but since seeing this I have watched a bunch of other films he is in. He's pretty good in them all. He should have won the oscar for The Insider and for A Beautiful Mind rather than Gladiator though, but just because those two movies were more "oscar-like".

FINAL VERDICT: A definite must see. I have this one on tape to watch it over and over again.
