Ave Maximus

Rating: 9/10 (16 June 2007)

This is a very good movie. Richard Harris and Russell Crowe are excellent in their performance. The sets, costume and locations are very good. I like the paradox of the story Commodus dies like a gladiator and Maximus dies like an emperor. Lucilla it is an interesting character and I like her personality.
I missed to see more roman locations, and the daily roman life. Each still it's like a painting. Ridley is a great artist.
For me the best scenes are when Commodus kills his father and the last fight Maximus against Commodus.
The soundtrack is one of my favorites congratulations to Hans Zimmer, Lisa Gerrard has a special voice that you can imagine yourself in ancient roman age.
