A brilliant film!

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2001)

All I can say about this movie is that it is absolutely brilliant. The story is strong, the acting (especially Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix) is exceptional, the fight scenes are thrilling, and the computer generated Rome is great. This is hands down my favorite movie of the year, when I first saw the previews I immediately was interested, there hasn't been a Roman epic in Hollywood for years, my expectations were high and it delivered! Everything from the incredible cinematography to the powerful score fit the movie perfectly, this is a great movie, I give a 10 out of 10.
