What a cracker.

Rating: Null/10 (5 July 2000)

I enjoyed this movie from beginning to end. I wonder however if anyone else spotted that the sound-track purporting to be 2nd century AD German warriors psyching themselves up for battle was actually poached from Zulu starring Michael Caine. That was I think a little joke from Ridley Scott.
Don't however let that put you off, this film will be regarded as a classic in years to come. Russel Crowe shows great maturity as a actor and certainly has the presence to handle the lead role in an epic movie. Kirk Douglas and Charlton Heston can now see that they have a worthy successor.
Let this film stand alone and please lets not have "Gladiator 2, the sandals' return".
