Summer Blockbuster

Rating: Null/10 (20 April 2000)

I must say that I thought this film was excellent. It had a good story line, good cast (Russel Crowe was superb!!), and excellent special effects, although part of the opening battle scene was filmed in a way which was hard to follow. I saw the film at a media screening and this version contained quite a few scenes of people being decapitated and was also two and a half hours long so it might be edited further, (not too much I hope).
The fight scene where tigers are involved was superb and Ridley Scott was at his best. A must see which is up there with Spartacus and Ben Hur.
