The definition of an epic, powerful movie

Rating: 9/10 (3 August 2018)

Gladiator is well deserving of its legendary status. Both Crowe and Phoenix are just exceptional, both with a case for among the best performances I've ever seen. The score was amazing, the cinematography and scene progressions were impeccable, and the plot was very satisfying. Rather than the symbolic, complex idea-driven movies that I often praise, Gladiator is a tour-de-force that has a truly grand feel. Gladiator is one of the best movies I've ever seen and will always be my prime example of an epic, glorious movie.
