My favorite movie EVER

Rating: 10/10 (8 July 2005)

OK, my first ten on this site, but for what a movie ! Normally I have problems watching films more then once, but this one I can not get enough of. This movie has everything: first class acting, scenery, emotions, love story, action, etc. etc.
The music and soundtrack totally fit to this movie and I love to hear it again and again. The story of a man almost defeated, to fight back to try to take revenge on his defeater, has been done before. But not in such a totally COMPLETE movie.
Russell Crowe IS gladiator. He exactly fits the gentle hero model (as we can also see in other movies featuring him, like Master and Commander, and more recently Cinderella Man). But all other actors are also casted fittingly and play their parts well.
Go see this movie (again and again), because it will totally immerse you in a world of 'strenght and honor'.
