Ridley Scott's finest film.

Rating: Null/10 (12 January 2016)

"Gladiator" is a tour de force in action and adventure. It brings you back in time to the best of its ability and strives to deliver heart- pounding action and terrific fight scenes. Russell Crowe plays Maximus, a Roman general betrayed with his family murdered by an emperor's corrupt son, who he to Rome as a gladiator to seek revenge. This is an epic that fancies the costumes and sets more than the actual story, but excels in entertainment and style. Russell Crowe gives a strong performance, while Ridley Scott directs the film in a typical style that allows us to soak up the time period and absorb the action and bloodshed in front of us. While there are many goofs and laughable moments, "Gladiator" remains a solid film that entertains the audience for its entire runtime.
