Without a doubt one of the best movies in the past decade.

Rating: 10/10 (29 January 2001)

Russell Crowe was excellent at his role of Maximus Meridius in The Gladiator. The film may not have been historically accurate, but the directing was amazing and put you right in to the action, and made you feel exactly what the characters were. Gladiator has made it on the top 5 of my favorite movies of all time, and will definitely stay there. My compliments to Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe for a 5-star must-see movie, at least in my opinion.
