What a Wonderful Movie, (Spartacus 2?)

Rating: Null/10 (11 May 2000)

I saw this movie on Tuesday, it was breathtaking. The opening scene had a battle betwen armies that was so realistic that I imagined myself in the midst of battle. I did not find one error in this movie (concerning production). I saw this movie as a combination of Spartacus, Double-Impact and the Sixth Sense, in a rather beautiful way. Now this movie puts special-effects to good use and you cannot tell reality from computer-induced events. I still can't decide if the aerial views of ancient Rome were an actual city or computer-generated. The plot is good and splendid.
The battles are the most realistic and bloody I've ever seen in any gladiator/fighting movie, you literally see blood sprinkles in the air. You feel as if you are the condemned man going to meet death at the arena. Certaintly this movie is greater than Braveheart and will surpass it at the box office. It's an epic, that's all I can tell you.
