Great Site, Visit all the Time

Rating: 10/10 (24 May 2001)

In This Oscar Winning Triumph, Russell Crowe stars as Maximus, a roman general who is favoured highly but Emperor Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris), but when Marcus chooses Maximus as his successor, his greedy son Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix) is jealous and kills his father and sentences Maximus to Death. He Escapes, and becomes a Gladiator, leading to a nasty showdown with Commodus, now emperor. This Film is beautifully filmed, features excellent performances (most notably, Oliver Reed's last performance as slave driver Proximo), and is an entertaining and riveting epic, that mustn't be missed. 10/10 x Infinity
