You'll Never Forget This Movie!

Rating: 10/10 (13 May 2006)

Gladiator, by far, is the most exceptional movie to date that I've seen, and probably Russell Crowe's best performance.
The movie, taking place in Rome shortly after the reign of Scipio, and the barbarian Hannibal, instantly captivates you in the intro with an exploding scene that will leave you speechless.
Immediately you think that the movie will be just a bloodbath and without a true meaning, but Ripley Scott delivers a much more powerful message! Maximus Decimus Meridius, father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife, overpowers the emperor of Rome, and sets an inspiring finale. Words cannot describe the impact you'll receive from watching this movie to it's entirety! With an amazing ending, a detailed, yet interesting storyline, Gladiator keeps you moving and excited all the way through, and ultimately can end with viewers in tears. A beautiful ending! My favorite movie by far!
