No Braveheart, but a strong, compelling storyline. EXCELLENT

Rating: Null/10 (16 October 2000)

Want to be a warrior, just have everything you love destroyed. Russell Crowe was made for this part. They call him General, Spaniard, and General again, but always MAXIMUS! Even the name is larger than life, and it suits him. The battle scenes are fairly short and intense, giving room for the story and not just a bunch of blood. The final battle (between good and evil, of course) leaves you with a kind of satisfaction when MAXIMUS is walking through that field. FREEDOM.....
