Blows away Sparticus and Ben Hur

Rating: 10/10 (5 June 2000)

Loved this movie. Russell Crowe fantastic as Maximus! The story line was brilliant, and the action was non-stop. Pay attention to the sound-track - it was great, also. The attention to detail in the Roman soldiers uniforms and their battle tactics was very satisfying. It was nice to see that somebody read a history book before making the film. This is a Big Screen movie. It will not have the same impact on the television. See it!
