The Best Film of 2000

Rating: 10/10 (7 September 2001)

Ridley scott shows off his magical visual style of director with Gladiator. A tale of honor and revenge. Great unique cinematography and beautiful art direction the major stand outs. The acting is superb also. Russell Crowe gives one of his best performances and puts him among the top actors of today. Hans Zimmer's score is perfectly composed for the film. Winner of five academy awards including Best Picture and Best Actor. Probably should have won Best Art Direction, Cinematography, and Score.
**** out of **** stars
