one of the best movies

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2000)

I haven't seen a movie this good for a long time. It's one of the few movies this summer about things that's good and right. I was fortunate enough to see it in a IMAX theater, the effect was magnificently powerful. And Russel Crowe no doubt is a perfect choice for this role. I hesitated in seeing the movie lest it's the replica of Brave Heart (which I sincerely disliked), but to my pleasant surprise, I loved the story, the entire cast especially Maximus as well as the cinematography. Rumor says it that Russel Crowe is shooting for an Oscar for Gladiator. He well deserves it. This movie is definitely a new addition to my movie collection.
